24/7 Emergency Response

Water Damage Restoration

We’ve been restoring water-damaged homes and businesses across Colorado’s Front Range since 2005. Emergency extraction, structural drying, and full reconstruction, all under one roof.

Where to Start

What Water Damage Actually Looks Like

A pipe bursts and there’s standing water in the basement. A water heater fails and soaks through the floor. An appliance leaks while you’re at work, and now the wood floors are buckling and water is dripping from the light fixtures below. Water damage can feel overwhelming and get complex fast. When there’s water where it shouldn’t be, you need someone who can get there quickly, extract it, and start drying before it gets worse.
That’s the first thing we do. We respond fast, extract the water, and set drying equipment to stabilize the situation. For emergencies, we can typically have a crew on-site within 90 minutes.

Water Damage Doesn't Always Look Like a Flood

Some of the most common situations we respond to fall into two camps: active emergencies, and damage you discover after the water has been sitting.
Emergencies: active water flowing
  • Burst or frozen pipes
  • Water heater failure
  • Sump pump failure
  • Sewage backup
  • Appliance malfunction: washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator line
Discovered damage: water has been sitting
  • Slow leak behind a wall or under a sink
  • Ceiling stains from an upstairs bathroom or roof leak
  • Warped or buckling wood flooring
  • A musty smell with no visible source
  • Water in the basement after heavy rain or snowmelt
If you’re not sure whether your situation needs professional help, that’s exactly what our Free Damage Assessment is for. We can often help you figure out what you’re dealing with over the phone. (303) 660-6216

Water travels.

The Hidden Part

The Damage You Can't See

If you’ve already cleaned up the visible water and you’re wondering whether that was enough, that’s a fair question to be asking.
Water travels. It wicks up through drywall, saturates insulation inside wall cavities, soaks into carpet pad, and collects behind baseboards. The surface might be dry, but moisture trapped inside your walls and under your flooring can stay there for weeks, leading to deterioration or microbial growth. This is why professional restoration requires moisture detection with meters and experience, not just a visual once-over. If everything checks out, we’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Does water damage cause mold in Colorado?

We hear it constantly: “Colorado is so dry, I don’t need to worry about mold.” The truth is we do as much mold work as water mitigation, if not more. The dry climate can actually make it worse, because homeowners assume things will dry on their own and the trapped water never gets the airflow it needs.

Below 16% moisture content, mold can't grow. Above that, it's a matter of time.

How We Restore Water-Damaged Properties

Every water loss is different, but the work follows the same structure. Here’s what it looks like.
01

Stabilize & Extract

We stop the damage from getting worse, extracting standing water, pulling baseboards, and removing saturated carpet pad so drying can begin.

02

Moisture Mapping

We set a dry standard from unaffected materials, then map how far the water traveled with moisture meters, the baseline we track against, per IICRC S500.

03

Demolition

When materials can't be saved, we remove them, always explaining what and why first. Demolition without a conversation is a red flag in this industry.

Structural Drying

LGR dehumidifiers and air movers pull trapped moisture from porous materials. We monitor and adjust until readings hit the dry standard, usually 3 to 5 days.

Repairs & Rebuild

Once everything is dry, we handle the rebuild: drywall, flooring, trim, paint. The company that dried your home already knows it from the inside out.

A note about the equipment: drying equipment makes noise, runs warm, and runs constantly for 3 to 5 days. Sometimes structures dry faster, sometimes they take a little more time. After an initial assessment, we can usually give you an accurate idea of how long drying will take for your particular situation. More about our reconstruction process →

During the Work

What to Expect While Your Home Is Drying

When there’s significant damage, we’d rather set honest expectations than overpromise. Think of a water loss like a remodeling project that chose you, except demo can begin before you feel ready, and the planning catches up after.

Drying equipment runs 3–5 days

Sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on the materials and how the structure responds.

A little flexibility helps

Equipment and technicians on site is a change from your normal day to day. We keep it as smooth as we can.

Curveballs sometimes happen

Hidden damage behind walls, vinyl flooring under tile, materials that won't dry as expected. We communicate and handle them as they come.

The process takes a little time

Especially with insurance, the full extent has to be discovered before reconstruction. We keep things moving without rushing in unprepared.

Insurance & Cost

Water Damage and Insurance

This is where most of the confusion lives, and where we can help the most, often before we even visit your property.

Does insurance cover water damage?

Most homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, like a burst pipe, an appliance failure, or a supply-line break. Slow leaks that develop over months may be treated differently. We can't guarantee what your carrier will cover, but with 20+ years working directly with insurance, we can help you understand what you're dealing with and have a clear conversation with your adjuster, preventing unnecessary or denied claims.

What does it cost?

Cost depends on scope: how much water, how far it traveled, what materials are affected. As a starting point, a small project might range between $1,000 and $3,000, and grows from there with size and complexity. A few things to know:

  • The Free Damage Assessment costs nothing. We assess, explain what we see, and give you a real estimate.
  • Not every flood is worth a claim. Avoiding one altogether beats a denial or a claim below your deductible.
  • We don't charge for anything insurance doesn't pay for, unless it's agreed to ahead of time.

Do I have to file a claim?

No. Not every water event needs a claim, and sometimes it makes more sense to handle it out of pocket. Even a claim that pays zero still appears on your record and can affect future rates. We'd rather help you avoid an unnecessary claim than push you toward one.

The Difference

Mitigation Through Reconstruction, One Company

Some restoration companies hand you off to a separate contractor for the rebuild. That handoff is where projects stall: different crews, different timelines, details lost between companies.
It’s not required that you use us for reconstruction, but we can handle the full scope, from emergency extraction to the final coat of paint. The company that found the moisture and set the drying equipment is the same one that rebuilds your walls and finishes the trim. No handoff, no re-explaining your situation, no wondering who’s responsible for what.

Common Questions About Water Damage Restoration

The sooner the better, but you don’t need to panic. Standing water causes more damage the longer it sits, and moisture in building materials can lead to mold within 24 to 48 hours. It helps to separate “deal with the water” from “decide about insurance.” You can stabilize tonight and figure out the insurance side tomorrow. If you’re not sure, give us a call.
It depends on how far the water traveled. Visible water on a hard surface is something most homeowners can handle with a wet vac and fans. The concern is water that reached the structure: behind baseboards, inside wall cavities, under carpet pad. That can require professional moisture detection and dehumidification to prevent further damage or mold. If you’re not sure, we can help you figure that out.
The standard dry time is 3 to 5 days, though some situations resolve faster and others take longer. A contained flood in an unfinished basement is a different timeline than a saturated wood floor. Reconstruction, if needed, adds time depending on scope. After an initial assessment, we can usually give you an accurate estimate for your situation.
The words are often used interchangeably. Technically, mitigation is the emergency response: stop the damage, extract the water, dry the structure. Restoration is everything after, rebuilding what was removed and finishing the space. We handle both under one roof.
Water is categorized by severity. Category 1 is clean water, like a supply-line break. Category 2 contains some contaminants, like an overflowing washing machine. Category 3 includes sewage and floodwater. Categories 2 and 3 can require decontamination before drying, and porous materials may need to be removed. We handle all categories safely.
We manage as much of the coordination as we can on your behalf: documentation, adjuster communication, Xactimate scoping, and supplement filing. The easier we make things for your carrier, the better they can take care of you. There are portions only you can handle, but we’ll tell you what those are and help you through them.
If water is actively flowing, shut off the supply if you can do so safely. Move valuables away from the water. Avoid standing water if it could be in contact with electrical outlets or appliances. Then call us and we’ll walk you through what makes sense for your situation. (303) 660-6216
