Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.

Local housing stock
Of the 5,158 homes in Berthoud, about 1,035 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 2011; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. In houses this new the water lines mostly run inside heated space, so the ones at risk are those that do not: hose connections, garage plumbing and the lines along a shared wall with an empty unit.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Berthoud normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 14.4 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.63 of 14.44 inches a year, rain recorded at MILLIKEN 1.3 WSW 5.1 miles away and temperatures 9.9 miles away. January brings the coldest nights, and a house left for a winter trip meets them with its thermostat turned down and nobody there to notice a garage door left open.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Garage plumbing and water heaters in newer houses, exposed whenever the garage door is left open on a January night
- Townhomes, duplexes and attached houses, about one in ten, where a leak in an empty unit reaches the neighbor through a shared wall
- Outdoor faucets left with hoses attached, which hold water in the part of the line that runs through the wall
