- 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.

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 Edwards
Serving Edwards and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
In Edwards, 24.1 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 1996; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. Townhomes and other attached houses make up more than a fifth of the stock, so a pipe that splits in a unit whose owner is away can reach the home next door through the shared wall.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Edwards runs 8 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 6.6 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 26.1 inches in a normal year, 2.98 fall in April, the wettest month, rain recorded at Beaver Ck Village 5.9 miles away and temperatures 14.3 miles away. The cold season here runs from October into May, longer than most owners' visits, so a home closed after the spring skiing is still meeting freezing nights weeks later.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Second homes, close to a quarter of the town, left for weeks between visits while the valley is still freezing at night
- Attached townhomes, more than one in five, where water from an empty unit reaches the neighbors through a shared wall
- Mobile homes, about one in ten, with lines under the floor that freeze first when the heat or the skirting fails
