Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

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.
Learn more - Priority
Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like.

What fails in Central City
Serving Central City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 39.1 percent of the homes in Central City are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1968, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Two in five homes here are heated by electricity, and in a larger building an outage that stops the heat reaches every unit at once, occupied or not.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Central City runs 7 months of the year, with February lows at a normal 14.7 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 19.32 inches in a normal year, 2.52 fall in May, the wettest month, rain recorded 6.7 miles away and temperatures at COAL CREEK CANYON 9.6 miles away. May's normal low is 32.6 degrees, barely above freezing, so frost is still possible after the year's wettest weeks have begun.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Larger residential buildings, about a quarter of homes, where one unit's frozen line reaches the others
- Electric heat in 39 percent of homes, which go cold in an outage in the same minute
- Houses built before 1940, more than two in five, many with plumbing fitted along cold walls
