Water damage restoration in Denver, CO
Denver water damage calls come from frozen pipes, hail-damaged roofs, basement seepage and sprinkler lines that weren't blown out before the first freeze. The Front Range swings from mild to below zero in a day, so pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces freeze and thaw repeatedly. Denver also sits in hail alley, and the September 2013 floods showed that heavy rain here can overwhelm drainage too.

Local conditions
What causes water damage in Denver
Brick bungalows and Denver Squares in older neighborhoods, mid-century ranches and newer suburbs almost all have basements, many of them finished. Expansive, bentonite-rich clay soils in parts of the metro swell when wet, which can crack foundation walls and open paths for water. Basement window wells fill with snowmelt and rain when their drains clog.
Frozen pipes
Rapid cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages. Leaks often start when temperatures rebound.
Hail
Hail cracks shingles, skylights and window seals, and the next heavy rain finds the damage.
Basement seepage and window wells
Snowmelt and storms push water through foundation cracks and clogged window wells into finished basements.
