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 Limon
Serving Limon and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
With a median build year of 1981 and about three quarters of its homes (73.8 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Limon was laid out in the early 1980s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. Nearly a fifth of its houses were built before 1940, and in those the plumbing often runs through crawl spaces and along the walls that take the wind.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Limon runs 7 months of the year, with December lows at a normal 9.9 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 17.11 inches in a normal year, 2.8 fall in July, the wettest month, rain recorded at LIMON 0.3 W 0.5 miles away and temperatures at LIMON WSMO 5.5 miles away. Normal lows are under 20 degrees from November through February, four months in which an empty house can freeze in a single night.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Houses built before 1940, close to a fifth of the town, with pipes in crawl spaces and along exterior walls
- Vacant houses that are neither for sale nor for rent, which can sit through a winter without anyone looking inside
- Freezing nights from October through April, a season long enough to catch any building whose heat fails
