How quickly can you respond to water damage in Lakewood?
Our line is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays, and a crew is assigned on your first contact.
For non-emergency repair work we'll book an assessment at a time that suits you. Active leaks, flooding and sewage backups are treated as emergencies and dispatched right away. Either way, getting started inside the first 24 hours limits secondary damage and keeps repair costs down.
Does Colorado homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually yes for sudden damage, usually no for floods. Most Colorado homeowner's policies cover broken pipes, appliance failures and accidental discharges. Standard policies generally do not cover flood losses.
Flood damage typically needs separate cover through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which matters for properties near Bear Creek or inside mapped floodplains. Contact your insurer promptly after discovering damage. We supply photos, moisture logs and line-item estimates for the claim, and bill your insurer directly. More on what Colorado policies cover.
Why do Denver-area homes get so much water damage?
Three things: flood-prone drainages, aging housing and Front Range winters.
The gulches that drain the foothills into the metro area have flooded repeatedly over 150 years. A large share of the housing west of Denver was built before 1980, so aging supply lines and weaker waterproofing are common. Freeze-thaw cycles stress plumbing every winter, and summer storms drive intense runoff through neighborhoods whose drainage was never sized for it.
What does water damage repair typically involve?
It depends how far the water traveled and what it reached. Minor incidents may only need drying and a small drywall patch. Larger losses can mean replacing subfloors, insulation, cabinetry and whole rooms of flooring.
The assessment on the first visit sets out exactly what has to be removed, dried and rebuilt, and that scope goes straight into your insurance documentation.
How do you stop mold after water damage?
Mold prevention starts during extraction, because mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water damage.
Industrial dehumidifiers bring relative humidity below 60%, antimicrobial treatment goes on every affected surface, and daily moisture readings continue until materials reach verified safe levels. We also schedule a follow-up check after completion. If mold has already taken hold, our AMRT-certified technicians handle remediation and removal.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The initial assessment and written estimate cost nothing and carry no obligation. You get a clear scope and price before any work begins, and the same document can go straight to your insurer.
Do you cover Denver as well as Lakewood?
Yes. Lakewood is our base, and we cover the surrounding Jefferson County towns and the west side of Denver on the same terms. The service areas page lists every neighborhood, and a zip code on the estimate form gets you a straight answer either way.
