Newark Valley climate
by the numbers
Newark Valley's unique plumbing challenges
About 140 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 Berkshire
First frost typically lands around October 19
Seasonal timing
Given a December average low of 25F and about 140 nights below freezing across the year, the shared stack in an older conversion deserves a look before anyone leaves for the winter.

It complicates billing more than plumbing, but it does hide leaks. With one meter serving two units nobody sees a change in usage when a supply line starts weeping inside a party wall, and the first sign is often a stain rather than a bill.
Close the main shutoff for the building, then cut power to the affected area at the breaker if water is near a fixture or a light. Do not wait to find the source first, because the shared stack can feed water down for a long time from a break one floor up.
There is normally one main valve where the service enters the basement, plus a separate valve on each unit's branch near the ceiling. Older conversions often skipped the second set, which means shutting one apartment down shuts both. Finding out which you have is worth doing before December, when the average low here is 25F.
On a shared stack, often. A blockage in a common waste line backs up into the lowest fixture in the building, which is generally the ground-floor unit even when the cause is two floors up. Venting problems travel the same way.
