Local risks: Larkspur and Douglas County

Larkspur shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

In Larkspur, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Basement seepage, sump pump failures and sewer backups through floor drains
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Larkspur 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• 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
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Larkspur

Whatever the construction type in Larkspur, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

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.
