Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
ACS estimates 35% of homes around the listed San Antonio ZIPs were built in 2000 or later. Newer pipe fittings can still be vulnerable to freezing. The typical home in the ZIP codes around San Antonio was built in the 1980s. Mid-age fittings can fail at a cold-stressed connection.
