24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Fort Collins, CO
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock before it wicks into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Local crews typically arrive within the hour. Standing water is removed with truck-mounted or portable extraction units before it migrates further into flooring, wall cavities, and subfloor. Faster extraction means less material has to be removed later, which is why this is the first step on any water loss.

Frequently asked questions
Sixteen inches a year. Why is May the month basements here actually move?
Because May is melt plus rain on the Poudre's schedule. The annual total is small, but a large share of it arrives as water already in the channel and in the alluvium, plus whatever the hogbacks shed. The gauge in town is a poor account of what the ground is doing.
The 2013 water went down streets that look fine now. Is that still the path?
Yes. The Poudre has not moved. A 1992-median basement on that path is still the low opening, and a smaller May peak will use the same streets even if it never makes the national news again. The map of the last flood is the map of the next one.
We are on the hogback, well above the Poudre. Out of it?
Out of the channel, not out of May. A hogback lot is a steep catchment, and melt plus rain run to the uphill wall in minutes. You trade a river problem for a grading and retaining problem, which is the other half of this town's May.
