How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Evergreen leak can run
A pipe that splits while nobody is home in Evergreen or out in Evergreen Heights and Estates is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Evergreen has more than three hundred houses built before 1940, and around two hundred homes held as second homes.
The buildings themselves
Of the 3,893 homes in Evergreen, about 2,969 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1976; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. A house of that age often had its plumbing fitted after it was built, through crawl spaces and along walls never insulated for a mountain winter.
Weather that sets the risk
Cold reaches furthest into an empty building in January, when the normal low in Evergreen is 12.5 degrees, and 7 months of the year dip below freezing at night; the wettest month is May, with 2.49 of 18.62 inches, both figures recorded at EVERGREEN, 1.2 miles away. Afternoons here normally reach the mid-40s even in January while nights fall to 12.5, a daily swing of about 32 degrees that freezes and thaws an exposed line again and again.
What to watch in Evergreen
- Houses from before 1940 with plumbing often fitted later through crawl spaces and cold walls
- Second homes, around two hundred, left for weeks between visits in a long freezing season
- Freezing nights from October into April, with spring snow that can follow a warm spell

Frequently asked questions
What makes a pre-1940 Evergreen house hard to keep from freezing?
Its plumbing often runs through spaces that were never insulated for a mountain winter, because many houses of that age were plumbed after they were built. Crawl spaces, porches and additions are the usual weak points. Finding where the lines run, and keeping those spaces warm, is the first step.
How should an Evergreen second home be left between visits in winter?
With the heat at a steady, moderate setting and someone checking inside regularly, or with the water shut off and the lines drained. Freezing nights run from October into April here, so a home left without heat or checks is exposed for months.
When does winter really end for Evergreen plumbing?
Later than the calendar suggests. Freezing nights continue into April, and May brings the most precipitation of the year. Keeping the heat on and the crawl space closed until late spring prevents most of the damage that shows up after a false start to warm weather.

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