Johnstown: what fails while nobody is home

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak in Johnstown Farms and Paradise Village Mobile Home Park or elsewhere in Johnstown reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Johnstown's median home dates to 2007, and about one in seven sits in an apartment building rather than a detached house.

The housing, by age

Of the 7,124 homes in Johnstown, about 990 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 2007; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. In buildings this new most plumbing runs inside heated space, so the exposure comes from occupancy: apartments empty between leases and houses left over holidays with the heat turned down.

Cold months and wet months

A pipe in Johnstown faces freezing nights 6 months of the year, down to a normal 12.9-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.63 of the 14.44 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at MILLIKEN 1.3 WSW 2 miles away and temperatures 12.7 miles away. Normal nights stay below freezing from November into April here, so a newer house left for a spring-break trip in March can still meet a hard frost.

The weak points here

  • Apartment buildings, about one home in seven, where a leak in an empty unit reaches the neighbors below
  • New apartments between leases in January, when the building's newest vacancies are also its coldest
  • Newer houses left for trips as late as March and April, when nights are still freezing

Frequently asked questions

Can a Johnstown house still freeze on a spring-break trip?

Yes. Nights here normally fall below freezing into April, so a house left with its heat turned off or very low in March is still at risk. Leaving the thermostat at a moderate setting until nights stay above freezing prevents most spring freezes.

How do Johnstown apartment residents find out about a leak upstairs?

Usually by seeing it: a stain or a drip in the ceiling, or water along a wall. The unit above may be empty, so its occupant is not the one who will notice. Reporting it to management right away, with where and when it appeared, is the fastest way to stop it.

What should a Johnstown landlord do with a vacant unit in winter?

Keep the heat on at a moderate level, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and have someone inside every few days. An empty unit gives no warning, and a failure can run until the neighbors below see water.
