Louisville sits in a climate zone where winter temperatures swing above and below freezing repeatedly from December through February. This freeze-thaw pattern stresses water lines, especially in unheated crawlspaces, exterior walls, and attics. Copper and PEX pipes expand when water freezes, then contract when it thaws. After enough cycles, joints weaken and fittings crack. The clay soil common throughout Jefferson County compounds the problem. When the ground freezes, it expands. When it thaws, it contracts. This movement shifts foundations and stresses underground supply lines, creating leaks that surface suddenly when pressure builds during a cold snap.
