The first thing asked at the door: when was anyone last inside?

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

How long a Silver Plume leak can run

Water damage restoration across Silver Plume runs through independent local contractors, for homes lived in all year or left empty between visits. Three in four Silver Plume homes were built before 1940, and only about half of them are lived in all year.

The buildings themselves

In Silver Plume, 94.7 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 1938; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. The rest are mostly second homes, empty for stretches of a season that freezes from October into April, in houses whose plumbing was fitted long after their walls went up.

Weather that sets the risk

The freeze season in Silver Plume runs 7 months of the year, with February lows at a normal 15.3 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 18.29 inches in a normal year, 2.49 fall in July, the wettest month, both figures recorded at GEORGETOWN, 1.6 miles away. Freezing nights last into April, so a second home closed at the first sign of spring is still in freezing weather for weeks.

What to watch in Silver Plume

  • Second homes, about four in ten, left empty for weeks during the freezing season
  • Houses from before 1940, three in four, with lines added along exterior walls
  • Small multi-unit buildings, about one home in eight, where one empty unit's frozen line reaches the next

Frequently asked questions

What is the safest way to close a Silver Plume second home between visits from October to April?

Either with the heat on at a moderate setting and someone checking inside regularly, or with the water shut off and the lines drained. About four homes in ten here are second homes, and a split line in one can run for weeks before anyone returns.

Why does February hit Silver Plume prewar plumbing hardest?

Its plumbing was usually fitted long after it was built, often along exterior walls and through unheated spaces. February is the coldest month here, and those runs are the first to freeze when the heat drops.

Who notices a leak in an empty Silver Plume house?

Often nobody until the owner returns, since about half the homes here are not lived in all year. A temperature alarm that sends a message, or a neighbor with a key, is the practical way to hear about trouble sooner.
