Emergency
Frozen & Burst Pipe Damage Ramah, CO
Pipes split while frozen and leak when they thaw. The water arrives on the warm day, often days after the cold that caused it. A frozen line usually splits during the freeze and leaks during the thaw, so the water arrives on a warmer day than the cold that caused it. Every line in the building is treated as possibly split until it has held pressure after thawing.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- 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.
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to a Ramah home when the power goes out in a storm?
If it is heated by electricity, the heat stops at once, and many propane furnaces stop too, because their fans and controls need power. With lines under mobile homes and along old walls, a long outage can freeze them. Draining the lowest faucet protects the lines.
What protects a Ramah mobile home from a frozen supply line?
Intact skirting and working heat tape. The supply line where it rises from the ground is the most exposed part of the home's plumbing, and a gap in the skirting on the windward side is the most common reason it freezes.
How should a Ramah house be left for a winter absence?
With enough fuel for the whole time away and someone checking in, or with the water shut off and the lines drained. In a small town with no gas line, a heat source that fails can go unnoticed long enough to freeze every line.
