Emergency
Emergency Water Extraction Fraser, CO
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. Standing water is removed before it moves further into the structure. After a failure that ran unnoticed, how much there is and where it collected is also the first measure of how long it ran and how far it traveled.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
Frequently asked questions
Is there any safe month to leave a Fraser home unheated?
Only midsummer. Freezing nights come from September through May here, so a unit with water in its lines and no heat is at risk for most of the year. Owners should leave the heat on at a moderate setting or drain the lines whenever they leave outside June, July and August.
How does a Fraser townhome owner find out about a leak next door?
Usually from the neighbor or the association, which is why both need a way to reach you. Water from an empty unit moves through shared walls and floors, and with many owners away, the person who notices may not be the one who can shut it off.
What does a winter power outage mean for an electric-heated Fraser home?
That its heat stops completely. In a home nobody is in, the cold can reach the lines within hours at this elevation. A temperature alarm that sends a message, or a caretaker who checks after outages, gives time to act.
