Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Cheyenne Area

What Makes Cheyenne Different

Cheyenne sits on the high plains at about 6,000 feet, where strong wind and summer hail are part of life. Large hail can crack shingles and siding, and a damaged roof can leak for months before a stain appears. Have the roof checked after any big hailstorm, and photograph the damage before repairs start.

Summer thunderstorms can also bring flash floods along Crow Creek and Dry Creek. In 1985 a flash flood from a severe storm killed people in the city, and homes on low ground near the creeks still face flood risk that a standard homeowners policy does not cover. Never drive through water over a road.

Winters bring blizzards, long cold snaps and drifting snow. Pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces freeze and split, and wind driven snow can pack into attics through vents and melt into ceilings. The air is dry, but wet drywall and carpet pad can still grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many homes near downtown were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.
