Local plumbing issues in Colorado Springs
Expansive soils
Bentonite clay in parts of the city swells and shrinks, stressing slab plumbing, basement floors and sewer lines.
Altitude and water heaters
At about 6,000 feet, gas water heaters need venting and sizing for altitude, and replacements go through Pikes Peak Regional Building.
Wind and freezes
Winds off the mountains and sub-zero nights freeze pipes on north and west walls and in garages.
Military and rental housing
With several military installations nearby, many homes are rentals with frequent turnover, and small leaks or failing water heaters often go unreported until move-out.
