Unwatched buildings in Glenwood Springs

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Glenwood Springs reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Glenwood Springs has more than six hundred houses built before 1940, and about one home in seven is in a duplex, triplex or fourplex.

What the homes date from

The median home in Glenwood Springs was built in 1982, and 57.6 percent of them were already standing in 1990; that age is a fair guide to how much of a building's water system runs where nobody looks between visits. Those small buildings share walls and often plumbing, so when one side sits empty between tenants, the other side is the first to find out something froze.

The months to watch

A pipe in Glenwood Springs faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 12.3-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.15 of the 19.51 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at GLENWOOD SPRINGS .64 S 0.9 miles away and temperatures at GLENWOOD SPGS #2 2.4 miles away. Winter afternoons here normally climb back above freezing, so a line that freezes overnight usually thaws the next day, and a split starts leaking within hours of forming.

The usual failures here

  • Duplexes to fourplexes, about one home in seven, where an empty unit's frozen line floods the occupied one
  • More than six hundred pre-1940 houses, with plumbing often fitted after construction
  • Electric heat in nearly three homes in ten, which stops the moment the power does

Frequently asked questions

In a Glenwood Springs fourplex, how does a leak in an empty unit get found?

Usually by the tenant on the other side of the wall or below the floor. The empty unit gives no warning of its own. Landlords who keep the heat on in vacant units and look in every few days in cold weather catch these sooner.

Where do the plumbing weak spots hide in a prewar Glenwood Springs house?

The older ones, more than six hundred built before 1940, which often had water lines added later along exterior walls or through unheated spaces. Those runs freeze first on a January night when the heat is turned down.

What should a Glenwood Springs home with electric heat do in an outage?

Keep doors closed to hold warmth where the plumbing is, and if the power stays off overnight, shut off the main valve and open a low faucet. Nearly three homes in ten here heat electrically.
