Water, Fire & Mold Damage Restoration in Franktown, CO

When water is spreading across a floor, smoke has filled the house or mold has shown up behind a wall, you need a crew in Franktown today, not a callback next week. Water Restoration connects property owners in Franktown and the surrounding Douglas County area with local restoration companies that handle water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation and sewage cleanup, 24 hours a day.

Local properties include farmhouses, manufactured homes, lake and cabin properties, outbuildings and homes on well water and septic systems, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Rural properties bring their own issues: well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, and seasonal homes that sit unheated and unwatched.

Local risks: Franktown and Douglas County

Property owners in Franktown deal with the same regional risks found throughout Colorado. Colorado homes deal with freeze-thaw cycles that burst pipes and crack foundations, heavy wet spring snow, some of the most damaging hail in the country along the Front Range, and wildfire risk in foothill communities. Finished basements are common, which is where much of the state's water damage ends up. Problems tend to peak during winter freezes and the spring hail and snowmelt season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

First steps for Franktown property owners

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances

When and where damage happens in Franktown

Every property type in Franktown has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

The coldest stretches of winter produce a surge in frozen and burst pipe calls, and the spring thaw brings the groundwater problems that follow. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
