- 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 Glenwood Springs
Serving Glenwood Springs and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in Glenwood Springs was built in 1982, and 57.6 percent of them were already standing in 1990; that age is a fair guide to how much of a building's water system runs where nobody looks between visits. Those small buildings share walls and often plumbing, so when one side sits empty between tenants, the other side is the first to find out something froze.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in Glenwood Springs faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 12.3-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.15 of the 19.51 inches in a normal year, rain recorded at GLENWOOD SPRINGS .64 S 0.9 miles away and temperatures at GLENWOOD SPGS #2 2.4 miles away. Winter afternoons here normally climb back above freezing, so a line that freezes overnight usually thaws the next day, and a split starts leaking within hours of forming.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Duplexes to fourplexes, about one home in seven, where an empty unit's frozen line floods the occupied one
- More than six hundred pre-1940 houses, with plumbing often fitted after construction
- Electric heat in nearly three homes in ten, which stops the moment the power does
