In the aftermath of the recent bone-chilling weather, Colorado Springs is grappling with a surge in broken pipes, keeping the Colorado Springs Fire Department and plumbing specialists like Talmich Plumbing and Heating on alert. Responding to over 20 calls for assistance in a single day, CSFD, in particular, is urging homeowners to stay vigilant as the weather begins to warm up - but representatives from Colorado Springs-based Talmich Plumbing say they have also been dealing with a plethora of emergency calls.
“The cold temperatures, plummeting into the negatives, throughout this first month of the new year took a toll on the city’s infrastructure, causing pipes to freeze and subsequently crack,” says Tom Talmich of Talmich Plumbing and Heating, who has been assisting the fire department and other authorities with addressing the aftermath of frozen pipes. “Indeed, CSFD said it dealt with a broken sprinkler head at its headquarters building, and asked for patience as its crews continue to respond to calls. When pipes freeze, they swell, leading to potential splits; likewise, as ice thaws, water flows through these cracks, posing a risk of flooding homes if not addressed promptly.”

Talmich made reference to various challenges for plumbers around the city, starting with Bright Dentistry, a local dental office which, despite taking precautions and dripping their faucets, ended up requiring emergency plumber service. The office fell victim to a burst pipe, according to Talmich Plumbing and Heating representatives, forcing them to close for days due to flooding. “The owner, Dr. John Kramer, knew that the cold was coming, but one unfortunate Monday morning, he and his staff found the flood water all over the floors,” adds Talmich about the Bright Dentistry situation. “The burst pipe, originating from a neighboring restaurant, resulted in approximately three inches of flooding throughout the office.”
Before Bright received help, it was, according to reports, “all hands on deck” for Dr. Kramer and his staff, who were forced to resort to mops, sponges, squeegees and towels to mitigate the flood. Despite the challenges, Bright Dentistry reopened on January 17 because most of the damage occurred in non-critical areas.
“One thing that I hate seeing day in and day out, aside from major drain cleaning mishaps, is the myriad of homeowners or business owners who don’t know where the main water shutoff is - we always stress to our customers that they should take the time to walk through safety precautions, specifically when it comes to how to shut things off in emergencies,” states Talmich.
As the weather warmed up - quite unseasonably for Colorado in January - following this chill spurt, companies like Talmich Plumbing and Heating further emphasized the need for residents to be on high alert as the thaw began, citing issues that will likely surface during this period. Tom Talmich and other business owners in the Colorado Springs area reassured the community that their companies are available for service round the clock, urging those in need to call or reach out via their Facebook page or website.
