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 Fort Morgan
Serving Fort Morgan and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 23.5 percent of the homes in Fort Morgan are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1970, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. About a fifth of the houses were built before 1940, and in those the lines along exterior walls and in cellars lose warmth fastest when the heat goes off.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Fort Morgan normally fall below freezing 5 months of the year, deepest in January at 12.7 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; July is the wettest month at 2.39 of 14.28 inches a year, both figures recorded at FT MORGAN, 4.3 miles away. December's normal low of 13.1 degrees is nearly as deep as January's, so the hard cold here runs two months, the stretch when a storm that cuts the power costs a house its heat.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Electric heat in more than two homes in five, which stops entirely in a winter power outage
- Houses built before 1940, about a fifth of the town, with plumbing in cellars and along outside walls
- Manufactured homes, close to one in ten, whose supply lines under the floor cool quickly once the heat stops
