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
With a median build year of 2006 and under a third of its homes (16.6 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in Monument was laid out in the mid 2000s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. Newer houses keep their plumbing mostly inside the heat, so the lines at risk here are the few outside it: garage runs, outdoor faucets and anything along a wall that takes the wind.
Climate & seasonal risk
Over a normal year Monument spends 7 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 14.2 degrees in February, while July, at an average 68.4 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 19.38 inches fall in a normal year, 3.01 of them in August, rain recorded at MONUMENT 1.4 NE 0.7 miles away and temperatures at MONUMENT 3S 1.8 miles away. Nights already fall below freezing in October, at a normal 31.6 degrees, and do not climb back above it until May.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- An elevation near seven thousand feet, where a clear night falls well below freezing even after a mild day
- Garage plumbing in newer houses, exposed when the door stays open on a February night
- A freezing season from October into April, longer than many newcomers expect
