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 Silverthorne
Serving Silverthorne and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of the homes in Silverthorne, 70.5 percent are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1998, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Where a second-home owner's townhome shares a wall with a full-time neighbor, a line that freezes in the empty unit becomes the neighbor's problem first.
Climate & seasonal risk
The freeze season in Silverthorne runs 9 months of the year, with January lows at a normal 1.5 degrees, long enough for a building left heated low to lose its heat before the next visit; of 14.89 inches in a normal year, 1.91 fall in August, the wettest month, both figures recorded at DILLON 1 E, 3.7 miles away. Even September's normal low is 29.7 degrees, so a townhome closed at the end of summer is in freezing weather from its first empty week.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Townhomes and attached houses, a third of the town, where water from an empty unit reaches the neighbor through a shared wall
- Second homes, about a quarter of all homes, left for weeks between visits
- Electric heat in nearly half of homes, which stops in a power outage whether or not anyone is there
