Colorado water damage
What causes water damage in Colorado
Colorado coverage includes Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Basements are common, and hail, freezes and spring snowmelt drive water damage. Expansive soils can crack foundations.
Hail
Front Range hail damages roofs.
Frozen pipes
Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls.
Basement seepage
Snowmelt and storms push water into basements.
Water damage risk by season in Colorado
Colorado's risks change with elevation and season. Winter cold snaps freeze pipes, especially in mountain homes and vacation properties left at low heat. Spring snowmelt raises creeks and groundwater, and the Front Range gets heavy hail and thunderstorms from May through August that damage roofs and windows. Summer storms over burn scars can cause flash flooding and debris flows with little warning.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Colorado
Colorado doesn't license general contractors statewide; Denver and other cities have local licensing.

FEMA has issued 12 major disaster declarations in Colorado for weather and fire events since 2000, and Colorado policyholders filed 3,833 flood insurance claims through the National Flood Insurance Program in that time. Most homeowners policies exclude flooding from outside water, so those claims come from separate flood policies.
