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 Indian Hills
Serving Indian Hills and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of the 481 homes in Indian Hills, about 322 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1971; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Older mountain houses here often had plumbing added after they were built, and a line fitted into a cold corner or under a floor is the first to feel a heating failure.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Indian Hills runs 7 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 12.5 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 22.16 inches in a normal year, 3.17 fall in April, the wettest month, rain recorded at KITTREDGE 2.5 SSE 1.9 miles away and temperatures 3.6 miles away. Nights here stay below freezing into April even when afternoons are mild, so a house left with the heat down after a warm March week is still at risk.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Houses built before 1940, about one in five, with plumbing fitted into cold corners and additions
- Late-spring snow that can make a house hard to reach just as a split line starts to leak
- Detached houses set apart from one another, where a neighbor may not see a problem for days
