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 Ordway
Serving Ordway and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of the 672 homes in Ordway, about 600 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1968; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. About three in four are single-family houses on their own lots, and one standing empty with its heat off has nothing between the plains winter and its pipes.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Ordway runs 5 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 12.3 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 11.68 inches in a normal year, 1.95 fall in August, the wettest month, rain recorded at ORDWAY 1.3 E 1.3 miles away and temperatures at ORDWAY 1 ENE 1.3 miles away. Wind across open plains strips heat from a house faster than the thermometer suggests, so a building left unheated in January loses its warmth sooner than its owner expects.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Houses standing vacant without being for sale or rent, which in a small town can go weeks without anyone looking inside
- Homes heated with wood, and some with propane, where a fire that goes out or a delivery that runs late lets the house cool with nobody home
- Wind across open ground finding any unsealed crawl-space vent or gap under a door, pulling cold air across the lines in a house nobody is heating
