Local plumbing issues in Fort Collins
Clay soil movement
Expansive soils can shift slab floors and sewer lines, causing offset joints and cracks that show up on a camera inspection.
Rental-heavy wear near campus
Rentals near CSU see heavy use of toilets, disposals and drains, and frequent turnover means problems go unreported until they're bigger.
Cold winters
Northern Colorado winters bring long cold spells. Pipes along exterior walls, in garages and in crawl spaces freeze when heat is turned down in vacant units.
