Serving Fort Collins
Structural Drying Fort Collins, 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
What should Fort Collins landlords do before the winter break?
Remind tenants not to turn the heat off, ask them to leave cabinet doors open under sinks on outside walls, and arrange a check inside each empty unit during the break. A tenant who has gone home for three weeks will not notice a frozen pipe; a landlord who walks through once a week will.
Why do so many Fort Collins pipes freeze in January?
Because January brings the coldest nights and many homes are empty then, especially rentals whose tenants are away for the university break. A house with the thermostat set low and nobody inside loses heat quickly in a cold snap, and the first sign of a split line may be water under the door.
Who is responsible for checking an empty rental in Fort Collins?
That depends on the lease, but in practice the landlord is the one who can get inside and has the most to lose. Tenants should know where the main shutoff is and whom to call, and landlords should know which units are empty over breaks. Agreeing on both before December avoids most surprises.
