- Emergency
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.

Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.

What fails in Vail
Serving Vail and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Of the 6,787 homes in Vail, about 3,701 are older than 1990 and the median dates to 1987; the age of a building sets how many of its pipes run through crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. Over a third sit in large multi-unit buildings, and an owner who lives elsewhere usually learns of a leak from the building's manager, often days after the neighbors below it have.
Climate & seasonal risk
A pipe in Vail faces freezing nights 8 months of the year, down to a normal 6.6-degree low in January, and a split usually leaks on the thaw rather than the cold night itself; April carries 2.41 of the 22.44 inches in a normal year, both figures recorded at VAIL, 0.5 miles away. The cold here outlasts the ski season, so a home closed up after spring break is still exposed to freezing nights well into May.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Second homes and occasional-use condominiums empty for weeks at a stretch, where a line that splits after a power outage runs until the owner's next visit
- Freezing nights that continue into May, after many owners have closed their homes for the season and turned the heat down
- Electric heat in more than two of every five homes, so a power outage during a storm stops the heat and the cold reaches every line at once
