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
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.

Local housing stock
Just 37 percent of the homes in Denver are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1975, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. More than half of Denver's occupied homes are rented, and when a tenant leaves for the holidays or moves out in midwinter, the heat and the plumbing stop being anyone's daily concern.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Denver normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 17.6 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; May is the wettest month at 2.29 of 15.36 inches a year, both figures recorded at DENVER-STAPLETON, 0.6 miles away. Five months is long enough for a building left empty over the holidays to lose its heat, but short enough that lines in garages and crawl spaces are seldom wrapped, so a deep cold snap finds them unprotected.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Apartment towers and large complexes holding about a third of all homes, where a leak in an empty unit is found by the neighbors below rather than by anyone inside it
- A freeze season short enough that garage and crawl-space lines go unprotected, so a rare week of deep cold splits pipes that have held for years
- Several thousand houses held vacant for reasons other than sale or rent, outside anyone's routine and easily left unvisited through a cold snap
