Can anyone answer some of these questions?

I know the water lines are PVC??
True story. I lived in Savannah, GA in the 1980's. Some of the older houses had water pipes in the attic. A fellow worker went on a long vacation over Christmas, when the temperature dropped to 3 degrees. A pipe froze in the attic and flooded his house for at least 2 weeks. The entire house was destroyed. Not likely to happen in Florida, but it is possible.
