Flood

Floods in Colorado can happen fast from storms, snowmelt, or broken pipes. When water enters your home, act quickly.

What to do right away:

  • Stay out of deep or moving water
  • Turn off the power if safe
  • Take photos for insurance
  • Move to dry, safe areas
  • Call a flood cleanup team

We handle water removal, drying, cleaning, and full flood recovery.

Evacuation

Sometimes the safest choice is to leave your home and move to higher ground. If officials say to evacuate due to rising flood risk, go at once.

How to evacuate safely:

  • Grab important papers
  • Take medicine and essentials
  • Follow local alerts
  • Do not drive through flooded roads, as just six inches of water can cause you to lose control.
  • Go to higher ground or a safe shelter

After you return, we can inspect your home and begin cleanup.
