Water damage restoration in Colorado

Colorado combines hail, snow and difficult soil. Front Range hailstorms open roofs, mountain winters freeze pipes and build ice dams, and expansive clay stresses foundations and the plumbing in them.

What causes water damage in Colorado

Hail

The Front Range from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs is one of the costliest hail corridors in the country.

Freezes and ice dams

Mountain homes and second homes face frozen pipes and deep snow loads; Denver's sudden cold snaps catch pipes too.

Flash floods and burn scars

The September 2013 floods hit Boulder and Larimer counties, and burn scars raise the risk in the canyons.

Homes and how they are built

Front Range homes almost all have basements, many finished, sitting in expansive bentonite clay. Mountain towns have large numbers of vacation homes and condos that sit empty between visits.

When it happens

Hail season peaks May through July. Freeze and ice dam risk runs November through March, and flash floods peak July through September.

Rules and insurance in Colorado

Colorado has no statewide general contractor license; cities and counties license contractors. Plumbers and electricians are licensed by the state.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Colorado homeowners

How do I protect a mountain second home?

Keep the heat on with a monitored temperature sensor, shut off the main and drain lines when you leave for long periods, and have someone check after storms.

Does hail damage always show right away?

No. Bruised shingles can leak weeks or months later, so get an inspection after any significant hail.

Why do basements here have so many cracks?

Bentonite clay swells when wet and pushes on foundations. Good drainage away from the house is the main defense.
