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.

Serving Fairplay and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of the 712 homes in Fairplay, about 311 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1994; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. More than half its households rent, and about a quarter of homes are in buildings of twenty or more units, so a tenant away for a week leaves a line that can freeze above or beside a neighbor.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Fairplay normally fall below freezing 8 months of the year, deepest in February at 9.3 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.4 of 15.1 inches a year, both figures recorded at FAIRPLAY S PARK RD, 0.3 miles away. Normal highs stay below freezing from December through February, at about 31 degrees, so a line that freezes here in winter can stay frozen for weeks.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- An elevation near ten thousand feet, where a February night falls to about 9 degrees
- Buildings of twenty or more units, about a quarter of homes, where a frozen line in one unit spreads to others
- Renters in more than half of households, who may not know where the shutoff valve is
