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

Unwatched buildings in Walsenburg

From the middle of Walsenburg to its edge, a building left unwatched through a freeze is one call from an independent restoration contractor. More than two in five Walsenburg houses were built before 1940, and about the same share of households rent their homes.

What the homes date from

Just 15.5 percent of the homes in Walsenburg are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1951, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Old houses let to tenants carry two exposures at once: plumbing added long after the walls, and occupants who may not know where the water shuts off.

The months to watch

Over a normal year Walsenburg spends 5 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 20.4 degrees in December, while July, at an average 72.5 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 16.43 inches fall in a normal year, 2.7 of them in August, rain recorded at WALSENBURG 0.8 NW 0.4 miles away and temperatures at WALSENBURG 1 NW 0.8 miles away. Afternoons in December normally reach 46.5 degrees, so a rental left with the heat turned down over the holidays can freeze at night and leak by afternoon.

The usual failures here

  • Houses built before 1940, more than two in five, with plumbing along outside walls
  • Rented homes, about two in five, where tenants may not know where the shutoff is
  • Mobile homes, about one in eleven, with supply lines under the floor

Frequently asked questions

Before a Walsenburg tenant goes away for the holidays, what should the landlord explain?

Where the main water shutoff is, what setting the heat should stay at, and whom to call if a neighbor reports water. December brings the coldest nights here, and a tenant who knows those three things can stop a small problem from becoming a large one.

Why are old Walsenburg houses slow to warm their pipes?

Because the pipes were added after the houses were built, often along exterior walls or through unheated additions, where the furnace's heat reaches last. On a cold December night those lines can freeze while the rooms still feel warm. Opening cabinet doors on outside walls helps.

What should Walsenburg mobile home owners check each fall?

The skirting for gaps and the heat tape on the supply line. Those are the two defenses against a frozen line under the home, and both can fail quietly over the summer. A walk around the home on a dry fall day, looking for loose panels and checking that the tape's indicator light is on, finds most problems in minutes.
