Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Colorado Springs Area

What Makes Colorado Springs Different

The Front Range sees some of the most frequent hail in the country. Summer storms can shred shingles, dent gutters and crack skylights, and a roof that looks fine from the ground may leak in the next rain. Get the roof inspected after any storm with large hail.

Wildfire is the other big risk. The Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires destroyed hundreds of homes, and burn scars on the mountains can send flash floods and mud down canyons like the one above Manitou Springs in heavy summer rain. Smoke and ash reach homes far from the flames, so wet wipe and HEPA vacuum ash rather than sweeping it.

The air is dry, and winters swing between warm chinook days and hard freezes, which splits pipes in garages and exterior walls. Much of the area also sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet. Water pooling against a foundation can crack slabs and basement walls, so keep downspouts extended and grading sloped away from the house.
