Unwatched buildings in Jefferson

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak anywhere in Jefferson reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Around seven in ten homes in the 80456 ZIP code area around Jefferson are seasonal, left empty through most of the winter.

What the homes date from

Jefferson sits in the 80456 ZIP code area, where 658 of 1,179 homes went up before 1990 and the median build year is 1988. Across that area, nearly two in three homes are heated with propane, so a cabin left warm for the winter is only as safe as the level in its tank.

The months to watch

The freeze season in Jefferson runs 8 months of the year, with December lows at a normal 9.1 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 15.39 inches in a normal year, 2.58 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded 8.7 miles away. Snow and cold here outlast the spring, and a cabin opened for the summer may have been sitting frozen since the last visit of the fall.

The usual failures here

  • Seasonal cabins, the large majority of homes in the area, that sit empty through the months when pipes freeze
  • Propane heat in most homes, where a tank that runs low in midwinter shuts the furnace down with nobody there
  • A split line in a closed cabin that is discovered only on the first visit of the season, months after it happened

Frequently asked questions

What is the safest way to close a cabin near Jefferson for the winter?

Drain it. Shut off the water, open every faucet, empty the water heater and traps, and leave the lines dry. A cabin kept heated through the winter depends on propane deliveries and a working furnace the whole time, and in a place where most neighbors are also away, a failure can go unnoticed for months.

What should be done when opening a cabin near Jefferson in spring?

Turn the water on slowly and watch. Lines that froze over the winter often split and hold until pressure returns, so the first minutes after the water comes back are when leaks show. Walk every room and look under sinks and around the water heater before leaving the water on.

How can an owner tell if a propane-heated cabin near Jefferson has lost heat?

Only with something in the cabin that reports it. A temperature alarm or a tank-level monitor that sends a message is the practical way, because in this area a neighbor may be as rarely present as the owner. Without one, the first news of a furnace failure is often the damage found on the next visit.
