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 Laporte
Serving Laporte and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
With a median build year of 1977 and about three quarters of its homes (74.3 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Laporte was laid out in the late 1970s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. Three in four homes were standing by 1990, and where an older duplex has one side empty, a line that freezes there floods the side where someone lives.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in Laporte faces freezing nights 5 months of the year, down to a normal 18.3-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.97 of the 17.12 inches in a normal year, rain recorded 1.6 miles away and temperatures at FT COLLINS 5.2 miles away. November nights normally drop to 26.1 degrees, so the first hard freezes arrive well before winter, when hoses left out from summer are the first thing to split.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Duplexes and small buildings of two to four units, about one home in eight, sharing walls with a neighbor
- Houses from the 1970s and earlier with water heaters and laundry along outside walls
- Garage and outdoor plumbing left connected past the first freezing nights in November
