Emergency
Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage Avon, CO
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it. A frozen line usually splits during the freeze and leaks during the thaw, so the water arrives on a warmer day than the cold that caused it. Every line in the building is treated as possibly split until it has held pressure after thawing.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- 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.
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
Frequently asked questions
What should an Avon tenant do when water comes through the ceiling from an empty unit?
Call the building manager at once, because the owner upstairs may be out of state. Management can get into the unit and shut the water off. Note when the water appeared and where, and move belongings away from it. The faster someone reaches the empty unit, the less of the building is affected.
How should an Avon second-home owner leave a unit between visits?
With the heat at a steady, moderate setting, a key and current contact details left with the building's manager, and ideally a temperature alarm that sends a message. About half the homes here are heated by electricity, so a power outage can stop the heat while the unit is empty.
Until what month can freezing nights reach an Avon building?
Into May. Freezing weather here runs from October through the ski season and beyond, so a unit closed after spring skiing still faces cold nights for weeks. Leaving the heat on at a moderate setting until late spring closes that gap.
