Our Water & Flood Damage Restoration Process — Step by Step

1

Emergency Contact & Dispatch — Available 24/7

Call us any time — day or night, 365 days a year. We dispatch a certified water damage restoration technician to your Colorado Springs location immediately, typically arriving within 60 minutes. For communities in our 50-mile service radius including Pueblo, Monument, Fountain, and Woodland Park, we prioritize emergency calls and arrive as quickly as possible.

2

Water Damage Assessment & Moisture Inspection

Our technician performs a thorough inspection using professional moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to identify all affected areas — including hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, in ceilings, and inside structural cavities. We document all damage for your insurance claim.

3

Emergency Water Extraction & Flood Cleanup

We deploy powerful truck-mounted and portable water extraction units to remove standing water as quickly as possible. Fast water removal is critical to minimizing structural damage and preventing mold growth. We handle all water types — clean water, gray water, and black water (sewage backup).

4

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Industrial air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers are strategically placed to dry all affected structural materials including drywall, insulation, subfloor, and framing. We monitor moisture levels daily and adjust equipment placement as needed. Typical drying time is 3–5 days.

5

Cleaning, Sanitizing & Mold Prevention

All affected surfaces are cleaned, sanitized, and treated with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold growth after water damage. Odors from water damage and sewage backup are eliminated with professional deodorization equipment. We apply mold prevention treatments as a standard part of every water damage restoration.

6

Complete Restoration & Rebuild

Once structural drying is complete and verified with final moisture readings, we restore your home to pre-damage condition — from replacing drywall and flooring to full reconstruction if needed. One company handles your water damage restoration from emergency response through complete rebuild.

We serve residential and commercial properties throughout El Paso County and a 50-mile radius.

What documentation do you provide for a water damage insurance claim?

We provide complete insurance documentation including: moisture mapping with calibrated readings at every affected surface, thermal imaging photos showing hidden moisture behind walls and under floors, daily drying logs tracking moisture levels throughout the job, a detailed scope of work with line-item pricing in Xactimate format (the industry standard used by adjusters), and photos documenting all damage before, during, and after restoration. This documentation is what adjusters require to approve your claim.

How long does water damage restoration take in Colorado Springs?

The structural drying process typically takes 3–5 days depending on the extent of water damage and the materials affected. Restoration and rebuild work varies based on scope — minor repairs may take a day or two, while major reconstruction can take several weeks. We provide daily updates and moisture documentation throughout the process.

The most common water damage causes we see in Colorado Springs and El Paso County are burst pipes during freeze-thaw cycles (very common in Colorado), water heater failures, washing machine and dishwasher leaks, roof leaks from heavy snow or hail, basement flooding from snowmelt or heavy rain, and sewage backup. Colorado's dramatic temperature swings make burst pipe water damage especially common in winter and early spring.
