24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Westminster, CO
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- 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.
- 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.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What are the ditches running between the houses?
Irrigation laterals, carrying water to land downstream under rights that predate the subdivision. They were kept when the farmland was developed because the water still has to get to where it is owed, so they run through the neighborhoods. The ditch companies predate the city and they are still operating entities with their own rules.
Why is a basement wet in July here?
Because that is when the laterals are running. They carry water through the dry months and seep along their length, so the ground beside them is at its wettest in the season when a household would least expect a water problem.
Can a ditch be piped or moved?
Only with the ditch company's agreement, and that is a formal process rather than a conversation. The water rights are separate from the land, so a householder owning the ground a lateral crosses does not own what runs in it.
