Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it travels further into the building - the first step after any failure, and the one that shows how far the water went.

Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it.

Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.
Learn more - Priority
Snowmelt & Runoff Flooding
A winter of snow melts in a few weeks. Frozen or saturated ground sends it toward the lowest point, which is often a basement.

Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside.

Sewage & Septic Backup Cleanup
A septic system that cannot drain - frozen lines, thawing ground - sends water back to the lowest drain in the building. It is sewage whatever it looks like.

What fails in Allenspark
Serving Allenspark and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
In Allenspark, 85.9 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 1948; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. Propane heats about half the town and wood about a fifth, so a closed cabin stays warm only as long as a tank lasts or a caretaker keeps a fire going.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Allenspark runs 7 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 14.1 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 27.89 inches in a normal year, 4.06 fall in April, the wettest month, rain recorded at Copeland Lake 3.1 miles away and temperatures at ALLENSPARK 3NW 0.2 miles away. April brings the year's heaviest precipitation while its normal low is still 22.8 degrees, so a cabin shut for the winter is in hard frost when its wettest weeks arrive.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Seasonal cabins, about half the town, that stand empty through the months when their lines can freeze
- Cabins from before 1940, where plumbing was added later and often runs through the coldest corners of the building
- Heavy April snow on mountain roads and drives, which can keep anyone from reaching a closed cabin for days
