The first thing asked at the door: when was anyone last inside?

How long water runs before anyone knows: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

How long a Golden leak can run

Water damage restoration in Golden, including Pleasant View, runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. About six hundred of Golden's homes are mobile homes, and close to a fifth are in apartment buildings of twenty or more units.

The buildings themselves

The median home in Golden was built in 1989, and 51 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. In a mobile home the water lines run under the floor, protected by skirting; in a large apartment building they run through floors shared with neighbors. Either way, what stands between the pipe and the cold is something the resident does not see.

Weather that sets the risk

Nights in Golden normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in December at 20 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; April is the wettest month at 2.95 of 20.75 inches a year, rain recorded at GOLDEN 1.2 NW 2.2 miles away and temperatures at LAKEWOOD 4.8 miles away. March nights still hold at a normal 28.6 degrees, so the freezing season is not quite over when April's wet weather arrives.

What to watch in Golden

  • Mobile homes, about six hundred of them, with water lines under the floor behind skirting
  • Apartment buildings, close to a fifth of all homes, where a leak in an empty unit reaches the ones below it
  • Houses left over the December holidays, when the coldest nights of the year arrive

Frequently asked questions

How are Golden mobile homes protected from frozen lines?

By skirting that closes in the space under the home and by heat tape on the supply line where it comes up from the ground. Both should be checked before the first cold night of the season, because a gap in the skirting or a tape that has quietly stopped working is where most frozen lines start.

When are Golden homes most at risk of a frozen pipe?

In December, when the coldest normal nights fall and many people are away for the holidays. A home left with the heat turned down for a trip, especially one with plumbing in a garage or crawl space, is the most common case. Moderate heat and a neighbor with a key prevent most of it.

What should Golden apartment residents do before a winter trip?

Keep the heat on at a moderate setting, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and tell the building manager the unit will be empty. If a leak starts while you are away, the neighbors below will likely notice first, and the manager can get in.
