24/7 Emergency
Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup in Wheat Ridge, CO
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. The affected area is sealed off from the rest of the house. Porous materials the water reached come out and are bagged, with drywall cut to a margin above the visible line; hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. The space is then dried and read, and the containment comes down only when cleaning and drying are both finished.

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.
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the lots shaped like that?
They were market gardens. The city kept the old agricultural lot lines as it built out, so a property can run several hundred feet back from the street with the house at the front and everything else behind it. Two adjoining properties can therefore have completely different drainage behavior despite identical frontage.
What does a deep lot mean for drainage?
That most of the property is behind the building and draining toward it. Sixty years of sheds, slabs, drives and leveling out back have altered the fall, and a long lot only needs a slight reversal to send everything to the house.
Where on a deep lot is it worth looking first?
At the back of the lot rather than around the foundation. Walking the whole depth after a storm and seeing where the water actually stands tells you more than any inspection of the wall it eventually reaches. The back of a deep lot is also where sixty years of informal building has gone on without any drainage plan.
