Ilion climate
by the numbers
Ilion's unique plumbing challenges
About 142 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Mohawk
First frost typically lands around October 18
Seasonal timing
February lows near 16 degrees are the coldest stretch, and a partly frosted vent turns an ordinary shower into a gurgling shower for the rest of the day.

Most tanks give you somewhere between ten and fifteen years, and hard water shortens that. A tank that has started weeping at the base is finished, not repairable. Keeping the model number and install date somewhere findable makes the next conversation short.
New fixtures below the main drain need both a way out and a way to bring air in, and the existing stack was sized for the fixtures the house already had. That's the part that decides whether the job is straightforward. Permit rules are local, so ask before the walls close.
Often, though a sink that gets used regularly usually has water in its trap, so the smell may come from buildup on the pipe walls instead. A vent serving that branch can also be partly blocked. Which one it is decides the repair.
Usually a trap that has gone dry. Floor drains and unused fixtures hold water in a bend, and when that water evaporates the drain becomes an open pipe to the sewer. Pouring water down the drain refills it, and if the smell comes back quickly the venting is worth looking at.
