What Makes Farmington, New Mexico Different

Farmington sits where the Animas, La Plata and San Juan rivers come together in the high desert. The air is dry most of the year, but winters are cold, and frozen pipes are one of the most common water losses here. Pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces and garages freeze and split, and the leak usually shows up only when things thaw.

Summer monsoon storms bring sudden heavy rain, and water runs fast down arroyos into streets and yards. Homes near the rivers can also see high water when spring snowmelt from the mountains is heavy. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood.

Evaporative coolers are common, and a leaking cooler or supply line on the roof can soak a ceiling quietly. Flat roofs let rain pond and find cracks. Check the roof and the cooler every spring, and shut off and drain the cooler before the first freeze.
