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 New Raymer
Serving New Raymer and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
With a median build year of 1938 and over four fifths of its homes (82.1 percent) older than 1990, most of the plumbing in New Raymer was laid out in the late 1930s, by that era's idea of where a pipe was safe from the cold. An old house heated from a tank has one source of warmth, and on the open plains there may be no neighbor near enough to notice when it stops.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in New Raymer faces freezing nights 6 months of the year, down to a normal 14.1-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; May carries 2.56 of the 16.22 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at NEW RAYMER, 0.1 miles away. Freezing nights run from November into April here, and January is the hardest month, so the propane tank is working for half the year.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- A tank in the yard as the only heat for most homes, so a delivery skipped in January is a cold house by morning
- Grassland houses from before the war, half the town, where the plumbing came decades after the walls
- Mobile homes, several of them, with water lines under the floor
