24/7 Emergency Water Mitigation Services

Water is a destructive force that begins to cause damage the moment it touches your property. Within minutes, it spreads to unaffected areas; within hours, it can cause wood to swell and drywall to disintegrate; and within days, it can lead to hazardous mold growth. That is why our emergency water mitigation team is available around the clock, 365 days a year. We arrive on-site fully equipped to handle any size disaster.

Our comprehensive water mitigation process includes:

• Rapid Assessment: We use advanced moisture detection tools, including thermal imaging cameras and hygrometers, to map the full extent of the water intrusion, finding hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.
• Water Extraction: Using powerful truck-mounted extraction units and submersible pumps, we remove standing water quickly to stop the spread of damage.
• Contents Protection: We help move and protect your furniture and personal belongings to prevent permanent damage.
• Sanitization: We apply EPA-registered antimicrobials to disinfect affected areas, which is especially critical in cases of sewage backups or contaminated floodwaters.

Comprehensive Flood Cleanup & Basement Flooding Solutions

Fountain, CO, is no stranger to sudden weather changes and heavy storms that can lead to flash flooding. Additionally, mechanical failures like sump pump malfunctions or frozen pipes can turn a basement into a swimming pool in a matter of hours. Basement flooding presents unique challenges because the water can often remain hidden in carpet pads, insulation, and framing, leading to long-term structural issues if not addressed correctly.

Our flood restoration specialists are experts in handling basement water damage. We don't just remove the water; we follow a rigorous drying protocol known as Applied Structural Drying (ASD). This involves using high-velocity air movers to create airflow across wet surfaces and industrial-grade dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air. By controlling the temperature and humidity, we can effectively dry deep into the structural materials of your home, including sill plates and subfloors, often saving materials that others might tear out.

We categorize water damage into three categories to determine the safest cleanup method:

1. Category 1 (Clean Water): Water from a clean source like a supply line.
2. Category 2 (Gray Water): Water that contains significant contamination, such as washing machine overflow.
3. Category 3 (Black Water): Grossly unsanitary water, such as sewage or floodwaters from outside.

Regardless of the category, Absolute Water Damage & Mitigation has the specific safety protocols and equipment to handle the cleanup safely and effectively, protecting your family's health.

Certified Mold Remediation & Removal in Fountain

One of the most dangerous consequences of untreated water damage is mold growth. Microbial growth can begin in as little as 24 to 48 hours in a moist environment. If you smell a musty odor or see visible signs of mold, it is essential to contact a certified mold remediation professional immediately. Attempting to clean mold yourself with bleach is often ineffective and can actually spread mold spores to other parts of your home.

We follow strict IICRC S520 guidelines for mold remediation. Our process involves:

• Containment: We set up negative air pressure chambers using HEPA filtration devices to prevent mold spores from spreading to clean areas of your home during the remediation process.
• Removal: We physically remove mold-infested materials that cannot be salvaged, such as drywall and insulation, and professionally clean semi-porous materials like wood framing.
• HEPA Vacuuming & Cleaning: We use HEPA vacuums and specialized cleaning agents to remove microscopic spores from surfaces.
• Clearance Testing: We recommend third-party air quality testing to verify that the mold levels have returned to normal, safe conditions before we remove our containment.
