Exposure in Gilcrest

Water damage restoration across Gilcrest runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. About one home in six in Gilcrest is a mobile home, in a small town where most houses were already standing by 1990.

When these homes were built

Just 14.5 percent of the homes in Gilcrest are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1974, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Those manufactured homes carry their water lines beneath the floor, and in an older town the houses around them often have plumbing that runs through crawl spaces rather than heated rooms.

When the cold arrives

The freeze season in Gilcrest runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 17.5 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 14.44 inches in a normal year, 2.63 fall in May, the wettest month, rain recorded at MILLIKEN 1.3 WSW 5.1 miles away and temperatures at GREELEY UNC 9.2 miles away. The freeze runs from November through March here, and a mobile home whose skirting has been damaged over the summer meets that season with its supply line exposed.

What gives out in Gilcrest

  • Mobile homes, about one in six, with supply lines under the floor that freeze first when skirting or heat tape fails
  • Older houses with plumbing in crawl spaces, where a vent left open in the fall lets cold air across the lines all winter
  • A small town where an empty house may not be noticed until water is visible from the street

Frequently asked questions

What should be checked on a Gilcrest mobile home before winter?

The skirting all the way around, for gaps and loose panels, and the heat tape on the supply line where it rises from the ground. A tape that no longer warms, or a gap in the skirting facing the wind, is how most frozen lines under mobile homes start. Both are easy to find in daylight in the fall.

Why do crawl spaces matter for older houses in Gilcrest?

Because that is where the water lines run, and crawl spaces are only as warm as their vents allow. Vents left open for summer ventilation let cold air flow across the pipes all winter. Closing or covering them in the fall keeps the space warmer, and keeps lines there from freezing on the coldest nights.

How does anyone find a leak in an empty house in Gilcrest?

Often by chance, from the street, when water or ice shows at the foundation. In a town this size there may be no one checking on a house whose owner is away. A neighbor with a key and a phone number, and a quick look inside every few days, is the most reliable protection.
