Structural Drying Morrison, 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
What does a 1950s Morrison house need on the coldest January nights?
Their plumbing was often fitted after construction, along exterior walls or through crawl spaces. Those lines freeze first when the heat is turned down. Keeping the thermostat steady and cabinet doors open on outside walls protects them.
What makes April tricky for Morrison homes?
It is the wettest month here and nights are still freezing, so a hose left connected can freeze while the gutters are overflowing. Keeping outdoor faucets winterized until May avoids both problems.
In a Morrison duplex, what happens if one side sits empty in winter?
A frozen line on the empty side can flood the occupied side through the shared wall. The owner of the empty unit should keep the heat on and have someone look inside every few days.
