Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Lakewood, CO
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
Why would a house be built without gutters?
Because the annual rainfall here is under eighteen inches and it was not thought worth the expense. For most of the year that reasoning holds up perfectly well. It stops holding up in a May storm, when a good part of the year's total arrives in an hour.
What does an eave line do to the ground?
It cuts a trench, in time. Water falling from a roof edge lands in the same line every storm and works its way down beside the foundation, so the soil there becomes the loosest and wettest ground on the property, right where it matters most.
Are gutters worth adding now?
On the roof planes that face a wall with living space behind it, yes, and it is a modest job. There is rarely a case for gutting the whole roof line. Two or three lengths with a downspout carried well away changes most of what happens here.
