Water & Storm Damage
Immediate response is essential when water or storm damage affects your property. With each passing hour, moisture works its way deeper into carpets, drywall, subflooring, and furniture—dramatically increasing the scope and cost of repairs. Pooling water creates perfect conditions for bacterial growth, structural weakening, and mold development that can turn a contained problem into a full-scale emergency.
Protect your home or business and the wellbeing of everyone inside by calling Dry Force right away at (720) 724-7777 when water or storm damage occurs. Our water extraction team will respond quickly to remove all standing water and position commercial-grade drying equipment throughout the affected areas. This systematic approach stops damage in its tracks and creates conditions that prevent mold and mildew from establishing.
Colorado's Distinct Water Damage Risks
Colorado's climate and geography create specific water damage challenges that differ from other regions. Spring snowmelt can send significant volumes of water cascading down from the mountains, overwhelming drainage systems and seeping into basements and lower levels. Summer thunderstorms arrive suddenly with heavy downpours that can cause flash flooding. Colorado's low humidity typically helps with drying, but moisture trapped inside walls and beneath flooring can remain hidden for weeks, causing extensive damage if not detected and addressed with professional equipment.
Steps You Can Take Before We Arrive
While our restoration crew is en route to your property, you can take several safe actions to reduce further damage and prepare for effective mitigation:
- Stop the water at its source by shutting off the main valve if the leak is accessible and you can do so safely
- Carefully relocate lamps, electronics, and smaller tabletop items to unaffected dry areas
- Take down artwork, photographs, and other wall-mounted valuables from affected walls when it's safe
- Lift furniture legs off wet flooring using aluminum foil wraps, wood blocks, or plastic containers
- Gently blot water from upholstered furniture—avoid rubbing which can spread moisture and damage fabric
- Restrict access to affected areas for family members and pets—floodwater and sewage backflow often contain hazardous bacteria, parasites, and contaminants that present serious health hazards
