Water damage restoration in Colorado Springs, CO

What water damage looks like in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs has every kind of house: older brick ranches and bungalows near downtown and Knob Hill, 1960s and 70s homes around Palmer Park and Village Seven, and newer builds with big finished basements out east along Powers and north in Briargate. Older homes have older supply lines, water heaters and drain pipes. Newer ones have more finished space for water to ruin.

Winter is the busiest season. A pipe in an exterior wall, garage or crawl space freezes during a cold snap, splits, and floods the house when it thaws. Summer brings short, heavy storms that push water through window wells and into basements.

Flooding is part of the city's history. The Memorial Day flood of May 30, 1935, on Monument and Fountain Creeks is still the flood of record here, with 18 people listed as dead or missing.
