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

What goes unnoticed in Laporte

Water damage restoration across Laporte runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. About one Laporte home in eight is in a duplex or small building of two to four units, sharing walls and water lines.

How old the buildings are

With a median build year of 1977 and about three quarters of its homes (74.3 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Laporte was laid out in the late 1970s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. Three in four homes were standing by 1990, and where an older duplex has one side empty, a line that freezes there floods the side where someone lives.

The freezing season

A pipe in Laporte faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 18.3-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.97 of the 17.12 inches in a normal year, rain recorded 1.6 miles away and temperatures at FT COLLINS 5.2 miles away. November nights normally drop to 26.1 degrees, so the first hard freezes arrive well before winter, when hoses left out from summer are the first thing to split.

Where Laporte buildings fail first

  • Duplexes and small buildings of two to four units, about one home in eight, sharing walls with a neighbor
  • Houses from the 1970s and earlier with water heaters and laundry along outside walls
  • Garage and outdoor plumbing left connected past the first freezing nights in November

Frequently asked questions

If one side of a Laporte duplex is empty, what protects the other side?

Mostly the heat and the attention given to the empty side. A line that freezes there sends water through the shared wall. Owners of an empty unit should keep its heat at a moderate setting and have someone look inside every few days in cold weather.

Which fixtures in a late-1970s Laporte house sit closest to the cold?

Laundry hookups, water heaters and lines along exterior walls, especially in houses from the 1970s and earlier. Keeping cabinet doors open on outside walls and the heat steady during a January cold snap protects most of them.

When should a Laporte homeowner winterize outdoor faucets?

Before November, when normal nights start falling below freezing. Disconnecting hoses, draining irrigation lines and closing the garage on cold nights prevents the splits that otherwise show up on the first thaw.
