How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Exposure in Aguilar
Water damage restoration across Aguilar runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. Roughly one home in five in Aguilar is a mobile home, and about a third of the town's houses were standing before 1940.
When these homes were built
With a median build year of 1971 and close to nine in ten of its homes (94.4 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Aguilar was laid out in the early 1970s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. That mix of very old houses and manufactured homes puts a lot of plumbing in cold places here: under floors, behind skirting, and in the corners furthest from the heat.
When the cold arrives
Over a normal year Aguilar spends 5 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 20.4 degrees in December, while July, at an average 72.5 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 18.27 inches fall in a normal year, 2.73 of them in July, rain recorded at AGUILAR 0.2 miles away and temperatures 17.5 miles away. December brings the lowest normal nights rather than January, so a house left for the holidays meets the hardest cold of the year while its owner is away.
What gives out in Aguilar
- Mobile homes, about one in five, whose supply lines run beneath the floor behind skirting that a hard wind can loosen
- Houses built before 1940, around a third of the town, where pipes were added long after the walls and often run along the coldest side of the building
- A small town where an empty house may go days without anyone passing close enough to see water at the door

Frequently asked questions
What makes the older houses in Aguilar vulnerable to frozen pipes?
Many were built before indoor plumbing was standard and had it added later, often along an outside wall or through a crawl space rather than through the middle of the house. Those runs are the first to freeze when the heat drops, and in a house nobody is living in, the first sign may be water at the door.
When should an Aguilar house be checked if it is left over the holidays?
Before and during the absence, not just after. The coldest normal nights here fall in December, which is exactly when many homes sit empty for family visits. A neighbor who looks inside every few days, and knows where the water shuts off, can stop a split line before it runs for a week.
How are mobile homes in Aguilar kept from freezing underneath?
Mostly by skirting that closes in the space beneath the home and by heat tape on the supply line where it comes out of the ground. Wind can work skirting loose over a winter, and heat tape can fail without any sign. Walking around the home each fall, and checking the tape's plug and light, catches both.
