Serving Aurora
Structural Drying Aurora, CO
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point. Moisture is read at marked points each day and compared with unaffected material in the same building. In a building that froze, heat comes back first, because drying equipment cannot work below freezing.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
How late in spring can an Aurora pipe still freeze?
Into April. Normal nights fall below freezing from November through April here, so a house left with its heat off for a spring trip can still meet a hard frost. Keeping the thermostat at a moderate setting until nights stay mild covers the whole season.
What should an Aurora property manager do with vacant units in winter?
Keep the heat on at a moderate setting, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and walk each empty unit every few days during cold weather. A vacant unit gives no warning, and in attached buildings a failure reaches the occupied homes around it.
Which Aurora homes see the most frozen pipes in December?
Those left empty or heated low over the holidays, especially older houses with plumbing along outside walls and in garages. December brings the coldest nights here, and it is also when many homes sit empty for family visits. A neighbor with a key helps.
