Structural Drying Loveland, CO
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point. Moisture is read at marked points each day and compared with unaffected material in the same building. In a building that froze, heat comes back first, because drying equipment cannot work below freezing.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Loveland house left for spring break still get frozen pipes?
Yes. Normal nights stay below freezing into April here. A house left with its heat off in March can meet a hard frost, especially in older homes with plumbing on outside walls. Keeping the thermostat at a moderate setting until nights warm up prevents it.
Which Loveland homes have the most exposed plumbing?
The oldest ones, where pipes were added after construction along exterior walls, under floors and through additions. Newer houses keep most lines inside heated space. In a cold snap, keeping the heat steady in rooms with exposed plumbing matters most.
What should a Loveland apartment tenant do before leaving for a week in January?
Keep the heat on at a moderate setting, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls, and let the landlord know. January brings the coldest nights here, and a leak in an empty unit usually reaches the neighbors first. Knowing where the unit's water shutoff is also helps.
