Security-Widefield is one of the most densely populated communities in El Paso County, and one of our highest-volume service areas for water damage restoration. The community's proximity to Fountain Creek, combined with a housing stock that's largely 30–50 years old, creates a perfect storm of water damage risk.
Fountain Creek Flooding Risk
Fountain Creek runs through the Security-Widefield area and is prone to rapid rises during Colorado's monsoon season. When heavy rains hit the Colorado Springs metro, Fountain Creek can rise 6–10 feet in a matter of hours, flooding adjacent properties. Homes in the Fountain Creek floodplain should have flood insurance in addition to standard homeowner's coverage.
Aging Housing Stock Challenges
Much of Security-Widefield's housing was built in the 1960s–1980s to serve Fort Carson military families. These homes are now 40–60 years old, and many have original galvanized plumbing, original water heaters, and aging supply lines that are increasingly prone to failure. We see a disproportionate number of burst pipe and appliance failure calls from this community.
