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 Pueblo

Water damage restoration in Pueblo, including Downtown, Grove, and Lower East Side, runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. Of Pueblo's 3,400 vacant homes, about 2,100 are neither for rent, for sale nor held for seasonal use, and nobody lives in them.

How old the buildings are

Of the 49,813 homes in Pueblo, about 38,385 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1965; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Houses of that age were plumbed long before anyone planned for them to stand empty, and a vacant one with its heat off has nothing between a winter night and every pipe in the building.

The freezing season

Nights in Pueblo normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in December at 14.5 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.41 of 14.16 inches a year, rain recorded at PUEBLO 2.5 SSW 1.3 miles away and temperatures at WFO PUEBLO 4.9 miles away. November's normal low already drops to 23.3 degrees, so a house emptied in the fall meets hard frost a month before the coldest nights of December.

Where Pueblo buildings fail first

  • Vacant houses outside the rental and sale markets, with no one responsible for a regular look inside, where a split line can run for a season
  • Houses from the 1950s and 1960s building years, where supply lines that run under floors or through cellars sit far from the furnace's heat
  • The coldest nights of the year falling in December, before the first winter check on houses that were emptied in the fall

Frequently asked questions

Who should be checking on a vacant house in Pueblo during winter?

Whoever holds the keys, whether that is an heir, an out-of-town owner or a relative. A house that is not for sale or rent has no agent or landlord walking through it, so a split line can run until someone happens by. A visit every week or two, inside and down to the lowest floor, is what catches one early.

Why is December the month to watch in Pueblo?

Because the coldest normal lows here fall in December rather than January. A house emptied in October or November meets its hardest freeze within weeks, often before anyone has settled into a routine of checking on it. Turning the water off at the main, or keeping the heat on, before the first cold week is the safer order.

What should be shut off in an older Pueblo house that will stand empty?

The water at the main, and the water heater's supply, with the lines drained if the heat will be off. Older houses often have shutoffs in cellars or crawl spaces that are hard to reach or have not been turned in years, so it is worth finding and testing them before the house is left, not after a pipe has split.
