Restoration services
Frozen & burst pipes
At over 6,000 feet, Colorado Springs sees sharp cold snaps and big day-night swings that freeze pipes in exterior walls and garages.
Flooded basements
Many homes in the Springs have basements, and expansive clay soils can crack foundations and let water in.
Hail & roof leaks
The Front Range is one of the most hail-prone areas in the U.S.; a damaged roof can let water into attics and ceilings.
Water heater & appliance leaks
Failed tanks, washer hoses, and fridge and dishwasher lines.
Flash-flood & sewage cleanup
Summer storms can overwhelm drainage near Fountain Creek and the burn-scar areas; Category 3 water needs professional cleanup.
Fire & smoke & mold
Wildfire smoke, house fires, and mold after water damage.
Why water damage happens in the Pikes Peak region
High-altitude freezes
Temperatures can drop fast after a warm day, catching pipes in garages, crawlspaces, and exterior walls.
Hail season
May through August storms damage roofs, skylights, and windows, letting water into attics and ceilings.
Expansive soils
Bentonite clay common in parts of El Paso County swells and shrinks, cracking foundations and basement walls.
Monsoon flash floods
Short, intense summer storms can flood low areas and basements, especially downstream of burn scars near Manitou Springs.

Frequently asked questions
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Colorado?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or failed water heater. They usually exclude gradual leaks and outside flooding unless you have flood coverage. Your policy and adjuster decide what's covered.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
Start within 24–48 hours. After that, mold can begin growing on wet drywall, carpet pad, and framing.
How much does water damage restoration cost?
Small dry-outs can cost a few hundred dollars; basement floods with drywall and carpet removal often run several thousand. For covered claims you typically pay your deductible. Get a written estimate first.
Is this service free?
Yes. Connecting with a restoration company through Pikes Peak Water Damage is free for homeowners. Participating companies pay us for referrals.
Who actually does the work?
An independent local restoration company that serves your area. Pikes Peak Water Damage is a referral service, not a contractor. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license; in Colorado Springs and much of El Paso County, contractors are licensed through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD). Ask for license and insurance details.
