Where water hides in Thornton

Found on a return visit or after a cold night, a leak in The Meadows at Timber Lake and Burgundy or elsewhere in Thornton reaches an independent contractor who works the area on one call. Thornton has about 2,400 mobile homes, alongside newer subdivisions of detached houses and townhomes like York Highlands and Wind Dance.

Age of the homes

Of the 52,250 homes in Thornton, about 18,533 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1997; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Most of the city is detached houses and townhomes built since the 1990s, but the manufactured homes carry their water lines under the floor, where the cold reaches first.

Freeze and thaw

Nights in Thornton normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 19 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.52 of 16.72 inches a year, rain recorded at THORNTON 2.1 N 0.8 miles away and temperatures at NORTHGLENN 4.1 miles away. January brings the coldest nights here, and in a mobile home the difference between a cold night and a frozen line is the condition of the skirting.

Failures that go unseen here

  • About 2,400 manufactured homes, each one's water supply rising out of the ground into the space beneath the floor
  • Attached townhomes in the newer subdivisions, roughly one home in nine, sharing framing and plumbing walls
  • Water heaters set in attached garages, the one appliance full of water that sits outside the heated house

Frequently asked questions

Why do Thornton mobile homes freeze before site-built houses do?

Because their water lines run beneath the floor, protected by skirting rather than insulated walls. A gap in the skirting or a failed heat tape exposes the supply line directly. Checking both in the fall, before January's cold, prevents most frozen lines.

Whose shutoff valve stops a leak between two Thornton townhomes?

The one in the unit where the water is coming from, which may belong to a neighbor who is away. That is why it helps to know the neighbors and the association contact, and to leave a key with someone when you travel. Water crosses a shared wall quickly, and the fastest stop is the nearest valve.

How do newer Thornton houses end up with frozen pipes?

Mostly through the garage. Many newer houses put the water heater or laundry hookups there, and a door left open on a January night exposes them. Keeping the garage closed and disconnecting outdoor hoses covers most of the risk. A neighbor with a key helps when you travel.
