Why Greeley homes need these repairs

Greeley is a northern Colorado farm and university city with older homes near downtown and the University of Northern Colorado and newer subdivisions to the west. Its water comes from mountain reservoirs on the Poudre and Big Thompson, and cold winters, expansive clay soils and older clay sewer laterals near downtown drive most of the frozen pipe and sewer calls.
