How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Where water hides in Englewood
From the middle of Englewood to its edge, a building left unwatched through a freeze is one call from an independent restoration contractor. About one Englewood home in nine was built before 1940, and more than half of the city's households rent their homes.
Age of the homes
Just 22.9 percent of the homes in Englewood are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1964, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Those older houses sit alongside apartment buildings that hold close to a third of all homes, and in both, the plumbing most at risk is the part nobody sees daily.
Freeze and thaw
Cold reaches furthest into an empty building in January, when the normal low in Englewood is 19.3 degrees, and 5 months of the year dip below freezing at night; the wettest month is May, with 2.55 of 17.74 inches, rain recorded 2 miles away and temperatures at MARSTON FLTR PLT 4.2 miles away. January is the coldest month, and in older houses the pipes along the outside walls and under the floors are the first to feel it.
Failures that go unseen here
- Houses built before 1940, about one in nine, where plumbing added over the years runs along the coldest walls
- Several hundred apartments vacant and for rent at any time, heated low and rarely visited
- Rented houses whose tenants may not know where the water shutoff is when a pipe splits

Frequently asked questions
Why are older Englewood houses more likely to have frozen pipes?
Because many were built before modern plumbing layouts and had lines added along exterior walls or through crawl spaces. Those runs lose heat faster than lines inside the house. In a January cold snap, keeping cabinet doors open under sinks on outside walls and the crawl space closed off helps a great deal.
What should an Englewood renter know before winter?
Where the main water shutoff is, and whom to call if a pipe splits. Many renters have never been shown either. Asking the landlord in the fall takes a few minutes; searching for a shutoff in a basement or crawl space while water is running takes far longer.
Who checks on an empty rental in Englewood between tenants?
Usually the owner or the property manager, and it should be done in person every few days in cold weather. A unit waiting for its next tenant is often heated low, and a failed line can run until someone opens the door. Keeping the heat at a moderate setting reduces the risk.

If water is still running, find the main shutoff or, on a well, switch off the pump at its breaker before calling.
