Rapid Denver snowmelt over frozen ground drives water toward foundations rather than into the soil.
Water enters at cracks, cold joints, window wells, and below-grade doors.
Grading, extensions on downspouts, and window well covers reduce repeat events.
Call (720) 319-8073 and describe the source, the rooms affected, and when it started. That is usually enough to get the right crew moving.

1. Confirm the area is safe
Standing water near panels, outlets, or mechanicals is an electrical risk.
2. Identify the entry point
Sump failure, wall seepage, window well, foundation crack, or a line break.
3. Extract standing water
Pumps and extraction units remove water from the lowest level.
4. Remove saturated materials
Carpet pad, base drywall, and insulation often cannot be dried in place.
5. Dry and dehumidify
Below-grade spaces need sustained dehumidification, not just fans.
6. Document and plan repairs
Readings, photos, and scope notes guide rebuild and prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Treat it as urgent if water is active, standing, contaminated, or near electrical systems. If the area is unsafe, leave and call 911 first.
Calls are handled 24/7 with a 60-minute target response across the Denver metro. Actual arrival depends on crew availability, traffic, and current call volume. Call (720) 319-8073 and describe the situation.
Cost depends on affected area, water category, how long materials stayed wet, equipment days, and repair scope. Ask for a written scope before work begins.
Coverage depends on your policy, cause of loss, and documentation. Photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope help. This is general information, not insurance or legal advice.
If it is safe: stop the water source, cut power to wet areas, photograph everything before moving items, lift contents off wet flooring, and keep people and pets away from contaminated water.
Surface drying is not the same as structural drying. If snowmelt basement flooding soaked drywall, pad, subfloor, or cabinets, hidden moisture usually remains and can lead to odor and mold growth.
