Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Littleton, 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
What does the radon fan actually do?
It pulls air out of the gravel under the basement floor and sends it up a pipe to the roof, so the ground beneath the house is kept at a slightly lower pressure than the rooms above. It runs continuously, year in and year out.
Does it matter during a water loss?
It can help and it can hinder, and which one depends on where the water is. A fan drawing on saturated ground under a slab pulls moisture toward the building rather than away, so it is worth deciding deliberately whether to leave it running.
Should the system be checked afterward?
Yes, and it is easy to overlook. The pipe passes through the slab, so a floor that has been opened, cut or resealed may have disturbed the seal around it. A quick look at that penetration belongs on the list before the floor goes back.
