- Emergency
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.
Learn more - Priority
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.
Learn more - Emergency
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.
Learn more - Priority
Structural Drying

Local housing stock
With a median build year of 1986 and close to three fifths of its homes (56.5 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Colorado Springs was laid out in the mid 1980s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. Three in five homes here are detached houses, and a house between owners has nobody running its taps or noticing a new sound from the water heater in the garage or basement.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Colorado Springs normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 18.5 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 3.21 of 19.02 inches a year, rain recorded at COLORADO SPRINGS 3.7 ENE 0.4 miles away and temperatures at COLORADO SPRINGS MUNI AP 5.6 miles away. March nights still hold at a normal 27.3 degrees and April's reach only 34, so an empty house needs its heat well into spring.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Detached houses listed for sale and left empty between owners, visited only for showings, so a failed supply line or water heater runs until the next appointment
- Townhomes and other attached houses, about one home in twelve, where a line that splits in an empty unit reaches the neighbor through a shared wall
- An elevation above 6,300 feet, where nights cool quickly once the sun is down and a garage door left open through a winter evening puts its plumbing below freezing
