Fall Winterization — Schedule September to Early October

Pipe Insulation & Heat Tape: Installation for exposed plumbing in crawl spaces and exterior walls before Colorado Springs' first hard freeze, which arrives as early as mid-October on average.

Exterior Hose Bib Shutoff: Complete drain-down of outdoor water lines.

Thermal Sealing: Fresh weather stripping on windows and doors.

Swamp Cooler Winterization: Drain, disconnect, cover, and seal the interior vent so it's ready for spring startup.

Palmer Divide Enhanced Package

For homes in Monument, Palmer Lake, and Black Forest — which sit along the Palmer Divide at 7,000+ feet and receive heavier snowfall and more extreme temperature swings — we recommend an enhanced winterization package that includes attic insulation checks and ice dam prevention measures.

Spring Post-Winter Check-Up

After a Colorado Springs winter, exterior components take a beating. We check for failed caulking around windows and doors, paint peeling on south-facing walls, UV-damaged weather stripping, and foundation moisture from snowmelt drainage.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I winterize my home in Colorado Springs?+
Schedule in September or early October — before Colorado Springs' average first frost date of October 5. Homes along the Palmer Divide (Monument, Palmer Lake, Black Forest) should winterize 2–3 weeks earlier, as freezing temperatures arrive sooner at 7,000+ feet.
Do you install heat tape on pipes to prevent freezing?+
Yes. We install self-regulating heat tape on exposed pipes in crawl spaces (highest risk area), exterior walls, and garages/utility rooms. Self-regulating tape adjusts its output based on ambient temperature, drawing power only when needed — not running constantly.
What is a spring post-winter inspection and why do I need one?+
After a Colorado winter with 100+ freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and high winds, exterior components need attention. Our spring inspection checks for sealant and caulking failure around windows and doors, cracked or peeling paint on south-facing walls, damaged weather stripping, and foundation moisture from snowmelt drainage.
