Unwatched buildings in Gateway

From the middle of Gateway to its edge, a building left unwatched through a freeze is one call from an independent restoration contractor. Gateway's coldest recorded night fell to 28 below zero in January 1963, in a settlement better known for its summer heat.

What the homes date from

A post office called Gateway has operated since 1903, and in a place this small a leak in a building left empty can run until someone next comes by.

The months to watch

A pipe in Gateway faces freezing nights 4 months of the year, down to a normal 21.4-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; September carries 1.45 of the 11.8 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at GATEWAY 1ENE, 0.9 miles away. February nights still hold at a normal 27 degrees though afternoons reach 52, so late winter brings a daily freeze and thaw that tests any line left filled.

The usual failures here

  • Few neighbors, so water at a door or under a floor may not be seen for days
  • Any building used only part of the year, where a line that freezes after the last visit runs until the next one
  • A short freezing season that makes it easy to leave a building filled and unheated

Frequently asked questions

Can pipes really freeze in a place as warm as Gateway?

Yes. Summers are hot, but normal nights still fall below freezing from November through February, and the record low here is 28 below zero. A building left filled with water and without heat through a cold spell can split its lines like anywhere else.

How should a Gateway owner close a property for the cold months?

Either keep it heated with someone checking in, or shut off the water and drain the lines. With few people around, a leak can run for a long time before anyone passes close enough to notice it.

How can a Gateway owner hear about trouble while away?

A temperature alarm that sends a message is the most practical way, since there may be no one nearby to look. Leaving a key with someone who can check after a hard freeze adds the rest of the protection.

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