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.

Local housing stock
In Grand Lake, 65.9 percent of the homes predate 1990 and the median one was built in 1976; a building's age decides where its water lines run and how much of them sits outside the heat. Many are cabins and small condominium buildings near the lake, and a building closed in September is usually still empty when the ground thaws the following spring.
Climate & seasonal risk
Over a normal year Grand Lake spends 9 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 4.5 degrees in January, while July, at an average 57.8 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 18.6 inches fall in a normal year, 2.09 of them in August, both figures recorded at GRAND LAKE 1 NW, 0.8 miles away. September's normal low is already 31.8 degrees, and January afternoons stay below freezing at 30.2, so a lake house closed after summer freezes early and stays frozen.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Seasonal homes, about seven in ten, closed through most of the months when their lines can freeze
- Small condominium and lodge buildings, where water from one empty unit can reach others
- Freezing nights from September into May, which leave only a short summer when a filled, unheated line is safe
