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 Walsenburg
Serving Walsenburg and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 15.5 percent of the homes in Walsenburg are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1951, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. Old houses let to tenants carry two exposures at once: plumbing added long after the walls, and occupants who may not know where the water shuts off.
Climate & seasonal risk
Over a normal year Walsenburg spends 5 months with lows below freezing, bottoming out at 20.4 degrees in December, while July, at an average 72.5 degrees, is the month furthest from that risk; 16.43 inches fall in a normal year, 2.7 of them in August, rain recorded at WALSENBURG 0.8 NW 0.4 miles away and temperatures at WALSENBURG 1 NW 0.8 miles away. Afternoons in December normally reach 46.5 degrees, so a rental left with the heat turned down over the holidays can freeze at night and leak by afternoon.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Houses built before 1940, more than two in five, with plumbing along outside walls
- Rented homes, about two in five, where tenants may not know where the shutoff is
- Mobile homes, about one in eleven, with supply lines under the floor
