Emergency
Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage Nunn, CO
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it. A frozen line usually splits during the freeze and leaks during the thaw, so the water arrives on a warmer day than the cold that caused it. Every line in the building is treated as possibly split until it has held pressure after thawing.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it travels further into the building - the first step after any failure, and the one that shows how far the water went.
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
Frequently asked questions
Who checks a Nunn house while its owner travels in winter?
Only whoever the owner asks. With nearly every home owner-occupied, there is no landlord or manager making rounds. A neighbor with a key who looks inside every few days, and a thermostat set at a moderate level, prevent most frozen pipes.
Along which walls do pre-1940 Nunn houses lose their pipes first?
Their plumbing was added after they were built, often along exterior walls exposed to the wind. Those lines lose heat before the rooms do. Opening cabinet doors on outside walls during a cold snap and sealing gaps around the foundation helps.
By which month does Nunn plumbing need its fall preparation done?
By October, because freezing nights begin then and run into April, with December the coldest. Disconnecting hoses, closing crawl-space vents and checking the furnace in early fall prepares an old house for the season.
