Wyoming plumbing deals with high-plains wind and cold, deep frost, long distances and well water, from Cheyenne and Casper to Gillette.

Wyoming weather and your plumbing

Wyoming is high, dry and windy: winters freeze the ground deep, and summers are short and warm. Strong winds drive cold into exterior walls, and elevation makes nights cold even outside winter.

Season by season in Wyoming

Winter
Wind-driven cold freezes pipes on exterior walls, and water services freeze in deep-frost winters.
Spring
Snowmelt raises groundwater and can flood basements in low areas.

Problems the Wyoming climate causes

  • Wind-driven pipe freezes

    Cause: Arctic cold with strong wind.

    Result: Pipes on windward walls split.

    Do: Insulate exterior-wall pipes and seal drafts around plumbing penetrations.

  • Frozen well lines

    Cause: Long cold spells.

    Result: Lines to wells and pressure tanks freeze.

    Do: Heat the well house and insulate exposed lines.

Housing in Wyoming

Cheyenne and Casper have older neighborhoods with basements and cast-iron drains alongside newer subdivisions. Outside town limits, wells and septic systems are standard.
