Jamestown: what fails while nobody is home

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Jamestown reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Nearly half of Jamestown's homes were built before 1940, and eight in ten are heated from a propane tank.

The housing, by age

The median home in Jamestown was built in 1943, and 91.6 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. The median home here dates to 1943, so most plumbing was fitted into buildings that predate modern insulation, and a tank that runs low in February leaves those lines with nothing between them and the cold.

Cold months and wet months

Over a normal year Jamestown spends 7 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 16.7 degrees in February, while July, at an average 64.5 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 21.49 inches fall in a normal year, 3.23 of them in May, rain recorded at JAMESTOWN 2.5 SSE 3 miles away and temperatures at GROSS RSVR 13.1 miles away. February afternoons normally reach only 39.7 degrees, so a line that freezes on a cold night may still be frozen when the next one falls.

The weak points here

  • Houses from before 1940, nearly half of all homes, with lines often fitted along cold walls
  • Propane heat in about eight homes in ten, where a late delivery lets the house cool
  • May, the wettest month, when rain and snowmelt arrive together

Frequently asked questions

How can a Jamestown household tell when its propane is getting low?

By checking the tank gauge every week or two through the winter, and ordering well before it reaches a quarter. February is the coldest month here, and a delivery that arrives late then leaves an old house with little margin.

Where do older Jamestown houses tend to freeze?

Along exterior walls, under floors and in any addition, since houses built before 1940 often had plumbing fitted after construction. Keeping those rooms warm and opening cabinet doors during a cold snap helps.

Why does May bring water trouble in Jamestown?

It is the wettest month of the year here, and spring rain can arrive while snow is still melting. Checking that gutters drain and that water runs away from the foundation before May reduces the risk.
