Longmont runs from older homes around Old Town to newer subdivisions on the west and east sides, and the water problems change with the housing. St. Vrain Creek cuts through the middle of town, irrigation ditches run through parts of it, and winter cold snaps are as hard on pipes here as anywhere on the Front Range.
The City of Longmont calls the flooding of September 11 to 15, 2013 catastrophic, especially along St. Vrain Creek, with hundreds of residents displaced. The Resilient St. Vrain Project was designed to carry more water through town, but flash floods can still reach homes outside mapped floodplains. City of Longmont
Pipes in exterior walls, garages, and crawlspaces are the ones that split during a cold snap. Many people don't find out until the thaw, when the water starts moving again.
Snowmelt and irrigation season raise groundwater against basement walls. That is when a tired sump pump tends to fail, and a finished basement can take on water fast.
Older homes can have aging sewer laterals, and mature trees send roots into them. The private line from the house to the main is generally the owner's responsibility, so a backup often starts there.
