Water Damage Services in Colorado Springs

Water damage is not one job. A split supply line under the kitchen sink, a basement full of snowmelt and a sewer drain backing up into a laundry room all call for different equipment, different safety steps and different paperwork for your insurer. The pages below explain what each type of job involves in this area, what the crew that comes out usually does on the first visit and what tends to drive the scope.

Most calls start with emergency water extraction, because pulling standing water out of carpet and pad shortens drying time more than anything else. From there the work moves into structural drying, moisture monitoring and, when needed, removing materials that cannot be saved.

Some problems here are seasonal. Deep cold in January brings a run of burst pipe cleanup calls. Hail and monsoon storms from late spring into August drive most storm and flood damage and roof leak work. Spring snowmelt and expansive clay soil keep basement crews busy for weeks at a time.

If you are not sure which category fits, that is fine. Describe what you see on the phone and the crew will sort it out. For background reading, the guide to water damage categories explains how clean, gray and black water are handled differently.
