Bennett: what fails while nobody is home

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak in Bennett Crossing, Cordella, and Skyview or elsewhere in Bennett reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. About one home in ten in Bennett is a mobile home, and one in twenty is heated with propane delivered to a tank.

The housing, by age

Of the 1,157 homes in Bennett, about 523 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 2000; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Most of the town is newer subdivisions like Bennett Crossing and Skyview, but the manufactured homes and propane-heated houses around them carry the plumbing most exposed to a long cold night.

Cold months and wet months

Cold reaches furthest into an empty building in December, when the normal low in Bennett is 18.4 degrees, and 5 months of the year dip below freezing at night; the wettest month is August, with 2.54 of 18.07 inches, rain recorded at BENNETT 11.3 SSW 10.2 miles away and temperatures at DENVER INTL AP 13.7 miles away. The deepest cold comes in December, when open ground east of the metro lets wind pull heat out of any building faster than its thermostat can put it back.

The weak points here

  • Manufactured homes, around one in ten, with supply lines running under the floor behind skirting
  • Propane-heated houses that depend on a delivery arriving on schedule, so a late truck during a cold week lets the heat and then the pipes go
  • Wind across open ground at the edge of the plains that finds any gap in skirting or any unsealed crawl-space vent

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a Bennett home heated by propane runs out while the owners are away?

The furnace stops, the house cools, and every water line inside it starts heading toward freezing at the same time. In December that can take less than a day. Keeping the tank above a quarter before leaving, or arranging an automatic delivery, is the simplest way to keep a short trip from ending in a split pipe.

Why does wind matter for pipes in Bennett?

Because open ground lets it blow steadily, and moving air pulls heat out of a building far faster than still air at the same temperature. It also pushes cold air into crawl spaces and under mobile homes through vents and gaps in skirting. Closing those before winter does more than turning up the thermostat after the wind has started.

Are the newer houses in Bennett's subdivisions safe from freezing?

Safer, not immune. Newer construction generally keeps most water lines inside the heated part of the house, but hose bibs, lines in garages and anything near an exterior wall can still freeze in a hard December cold snap, especially in a house nobody is in. The garage door left open is the most common way in.
