- 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 Ward
Serving Ward and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Just 6.6 percent of the homes in Ward are newer than 1989, with the median dating to 1938, the era that decided where these buildings' pipes run, including any that pass through unheated space. An old mountain house heated by a tank or a stove has no gas line to fall back on, so any absence longer than a day is a question of fuel.
Climate & seasonal risk
Nights in Ward normally fall below freezing 8 months of the year, deepest in February at 11.5 degrees, the stretch when a line in unheated space can freeze with nobody there to notice; April is the wettest month at 4.67 of 31.17 inches a year, rain recorded at Niwot 2.6 miles away and temperatures 2.9 miles away. Three winter months have normal highs below freezing, near 28 degrees, and April, the wettest month, still has freezing nights, so a line split in winter may not show itself until spring.
What leaves buildings exposed here
- Propane heat in most homes, where a delivery delayed by snow leaves the house without heat
- Wood heat in about two in five, which stops as soon as the fire goes out
- Heavy April snow that can keep anyone from reaching an empty house for days
