Water & Flood Damage Restoration
Fast response is everything. We extract water, dry your floors, and restore your home before mold takes hold.
Act Fast — Mold Begins Growing Within 24–48 Hours
If you have water damage, call us immediately. The longer water sits in carpet, padding, and subfloor, the greater the risk of mold growth and structural damage. Call (719) 896-6274 now.
Why Speed Matters in Water Damage
Water damage is a race against time. Within minutes, water spreads to adjacent rooms and begins soaking into walls, flooring, and furniture. Within hours, drywall begins to swell and warp, wood floors start to buckle, and bacteria begin to multiply in the standing water. Within 24–48 hours, mold spores — which are present in virtually every home — begin to germinate and grow in wet materials.
Once mold establishes itself, the remediation process becomes significantly more complex and expensive. Calling us immediately after a water event gives us the best chance of saving your flooring, preventing mold, and minimizing the overall damage to your home.
Common Causes of Water Damage We Handle
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
- Emergency response: We respond quickly to minimize damage spread.
- Water extraction: Truck-mounted extraction removes standing water from carpet and hard floors.
- Moisture mapping: Moisture meters and thermal imaging identify all affected areas.
- Pad removal: Saturated carpet padding is removed — it cannot be effectively dried in place.
- Structural drying: Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers are deployed to dry the structure.
- Monitoring: We monitor moisture levels daily until drying goals are achieved.
- Antimicrobial treatment: Applied to prevent mold growth in affected areas.
- Restoration: Once dry, we restore or replace flooring as needed.
Can My Carpet Be Saved?
Whether carpet can be saved after water damage depends on several factors: the source of the water (clean water from a pipe vs. contaminated water from a sewage backup), how long it has been wet, and whether mold has begun to grow. Carpet saturated with clean water that is extracted and dried within 24–48 hours can often be saved. Carpet contaminated with sewage or that has been wet for more than 48 hours typically needs to be replaced for health reasons.
We'll give you an honest assessment of what can be saved and what needs to be replaced. Our goal is always to restore rather than replace when it's safe and practical to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should water damage be treated?+
Immediately. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure. The faster water is extracted and drying begins, the less structural damage occurs and the lower the risk of mold. Call for emergency service the moment water damage is discovered.
What does water damage restoration involve?+
The process includes emergency water extraction, structural drying with industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, moisture monitoring, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold, and documentation for insurance purposes.
Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?+
Most homeowner insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage such as burst pipes or appliance failures. We document all damage thoroughly to support your insurance claim. Flood damage from rising water typically requires separate flood insurance.
How long does water damage restoration take?+
Water extraction can begin within hours. Full structural drying typically takes 3–5 days depending on the extent of saturation. We monitor moisture levels daily and only stop drying when readings confirm the structure is dry.
