The first thing asked at the door: when was anyone last inside?

How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

How long a Cañon City leak can run

Water damage restoration across Cañon City runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. About one Cañon City home in five was built before 1940, and more than six hundred are mobile homes with lines under the floor.

The buildings themselves

Of the 7,850 homes in Cañon City, about 5,562 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1975; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. That puts the city's most exposed plumbing in two places: the lines added to old houses along their cold walls, and the supply lines under manufactured homes behind their skirting.

Weather that sets the risk

Over a normal year Cañon City spends 5 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 18.4 degrees in January, while July, at an average 73.9 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 13.27 inches fall in a normal year, 2.79 of them in July, rain recorded at CANON CITY 1.3 ENE 0.6 miles away and temperatures at CANON CITY 1.3 miles away. January is the coldest month here, and with most nights of the winter staying above the point that threatens plumbing, a run of hard nights finds every line left unprotected.

What to watch in Cañon City

  • Houses built before 1940, about one in five, with plumbing added along outside walls and through porches
  • More than six hundred manufactured homes whose supply lines rise from the ground behind skirting
  • Winters with few hard freezes, which make it easy to skip protecting lines until a January cold spell arrives

Frequently asked questions

Which Cañon City lines go unprotected because hard freezes are rare?

Hoses left on outdoor faucets, crawl-space vents left open from summer, and lines in garages and porches that come through most winters without trouble. When a January cold spell brings several hard nights in a row, those are the ones that split. Closing vents and disconnecting hoses in the fall covers most of them.

Where do the water lines usually freeze in an old Cañon City house?

Along outside walls, in unheated porches and additions, and under floors, because houses built before 1940 had plumbing added wherever it would fit. Those lines lose heat before the rooms do. Keeping those spaces warm and closed off in a cold spell protects most of them.

Which part of a Cañon City mobile home freezes first?

The supply line where it rises out of the ground into the underside of the home. It is protected by skirting and usually by heat tape, and when either fails, that short exposed run is the first to freeze. Checking both before the first cold night of the season prevents most problems.
