Cimarron Hills Residential Flood Cleanup
When storm water or sewage floods your Cimarron Hills home, we extract, remove debris, and dry fast.
Our Flood Cleanup Process
A flooded basement, crawlspace, or living area isn't just wet—it's a health and safety emergency that gets worse by the hour. Mold begins to colonize within 24 to 48 hours, structural materials start to fail, and contaminated water poses real risks to your family. We respond immediately to stop the damage, extract standing water, and begin drying before secondary problems take hold.
On arrival, we assess the water source (storm surge, broken pipe, sewage backup) and the affected square footage across your home. We position industrial extractors and drying equipment, remove saturated drywall, carpet, and debris, and establish airflow throughout the space. Whether the flood reached your basement on Constitution Avenue, your garage near Peterson Road, or upper rooms in east Colorado Springs, we document everything for insurance and coordinate with your adjuster.
Drying doesn't end when standing water is gone. We run dehumidifiers, air movers, and monitoring equipment for days to pull moisture from framing, subfloors, and contents. Our team remains in touch with you throughout—checking humidity levels, adjusting equipment, and clearing the all-clear only when the space is truly dry and safe for reoccupancy.
What We Inspect During Flood Cleanup
We inspect water depth, source, and spread immediately upon arrival—identifying whether the flood is clean rainwater, gray water from appliances, or contaminated sewage. We check for standing water in basements, crawlspaces, and attics, assess structural materials (drywall, insulation, framing) for saturation, and evaluate electrical safety and HVAC contamination. In the Peterson Space Force Base area and surrounding Cimarron Hills neighborhoods, we also check foundation cracks, grading, and drainage patterns that may have channeled water into your home during the initial storm.
During the drying phase, we measure moisture in materials daily using meters and take air readings to confirm mold risk is declining. We inspect contents you've asked us to salvage—furniture, documents, electronics—and advise on what can be restored versus discarded. By the end, we provide a written summary of all areas affected and the drying timeline, so you know your home is ready.
Use this checklist to prepare for our arrival and track the restoration work on your home.
- Turn off electricity to flooded areas and verify gas is safe (or have us check on arrival).
- Document all damage with photos and video for insurance claims.
- Remove pets, children, and anyone with respiratory concerns from the home during initial extraction and drying.
- Move undamaged furniture, boxes, and personal items to dry areas or have us relocate them to a storage pod.
- Note the water source if you know it—storm, burst pipe, backed-up sewer—so we can assess contamination level.
- Identify any items you want us to attempt salvage (photographs, documents, heirlooms) so we prioritize those for specialist drying or cleaning.
- Confirm access to basement, crawlspace, and attic doors; remove locks or provide keys so our team can reach all wet areas.
- Keep a log of our arrival time, initial water depth, extracted volume, and equipment placement for your records.
- Check that your homeowner's or renter's insurance is contacted and a claim number is issued before we begin (we'll help coordinate).
- Plan for 3–7 days of drying equipment running continuously; ensure power access and quiet hours align with neighbors.
- After drying is complete, have any mold testing or air quality clearance done before re-occupying or permitting contractors back in.
- Keep receipt and photos of all removed materials for insurance depreciation and tax records.
Once drying is complete and air quality is confirmed safe, we'll walk you through the space and give you written approval to move back in.

Cimarron Hills Residential Flood Cleanup FAQ
How quickly can you arrive after I call?
We dispatch crews 24/7 for flood emergencies. In Cimarron Hills and El Paso County, expect arrival within 1–2 hours of your call. Call (719) 282-0997 immediately—every hour counts when water is sitting in your home.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover flood cleanup?
Most homeowner's policies cover storm-related water damage (burst pipes, roof leaks, storm surge). Flooding from outside sources or sewer backups may require separate coverage. We help document damage and coordinate with your adjuster so you get the fullest coverage possible.
How long does drying take?
Drying typically takes 3–7 days depending on water volume, affected area, humidity, and ventilation. We run equipment continuously and measure moisture daily. Once readings show your home is safe and dry, we'll give you written clearance.
Is the air safe to breathe while drying equipment runs?
During the first 24–48 hours, we recommend keeping children and pets away from the most affected areas. Our equipment pulls moisture and odor out of the air. By day three or four, with proper ventilation, most homes are safe to re-enter. We always monitor air quality and advise you when it's clear.
What if I have pets or kids at home—can you work around them?
Yes. Let us know where your family and pets are, and we'll set up equipment and work zones that keep them safe and out of the way. Many families stay in a dry bedroom or move to a relative's home for a few days while we extract and set up drying. We're flexible and keep everything transparent so you're comfortable the whole time.
Do you serve areas outside central Colorado Springs—like Cimarron Hills near Peterson Road?
