Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.

Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

What fails in La Junta
Serving La Junta and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 16.1 percent of the homes in La Junta are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1960, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Old houses let to tenants carry plumbing added long after their walls, and occupants who may never have been shown where the water shuts off.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in La Junta faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 16.5-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; July carries 2.21 of the 13.62 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at LA JUNTA, 0.3 miles away. December and January sit within a degree of each other at night, near 17, so the deepest cold here lasts about eight weeks rather than a few days.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Houses built before 1940, about a quarter of the town, with plumbing along cold outside walls
- Rented homes, about a third, where tenants may not know where the shutoff is
- Mobile homes, about one in twelve, with supply lines under the floor behind skirting
