Homes in Denver and how they leak

Brick bungalows and Denver squares from the early 1900s fill the central neighborhoods, with basements, clay sewer lines and old galvanized or lead supply pipe. Newer areas such as Central Park and Green Valley Ranch have homes with finished basements.

Local issues that cause water damage

Hail

The May 8, 2017 hailstorm was the costliest in Colorado history, and damaging hail falls somewhere in the metro area most years. See storm and roof leak damage.

Sudden freezes

In December 2022 the temperature dropped dozens of degrees in an hour, bursting pipes across the city.

Basements in clay

Expansive bentonite cracks foundations, and old clay sewer lines back up.

Questions from Denver homeowners

Should I scope my sewer line in an old Denver home?

Yes. Clay lines from the early 1900s are often cracked or root-filled, and a backup into a finished basement is expensive.

Does Denver's dry air mean things dry fast?

Surfaces do. Basements, framing and slabs still need measured drying.
