        "text": "In Denver and surrounding areas like Centennial and Parker, seasonal freezing poses significant risks to vacant, foreclosed properties. Homes left without active heating or improper winterization often suffer burst copper or PEX pipes behind bathroom walls. During a bathroom refresh in the Denver metro area, contractors must thoroughly check water lines under pressure before closing walls or laying tile. Colorado's dry climate can also cause older caulking and drywall joints to crack rapidly when indoor climate control has been shut off for extended periods, requiring dedicated drywall prep before repainting.",
