Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Cheyenne

Our local pros provide water damage restoration services in Cheyenne and the surrounding area, including Orchard Valley. A high plains city at the foot of the Laramie Range where under sixteen inches falls in a year, May is the wettest month, and Crow Creek runs through the middle of town.

Housing stock

Only 33 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1976. Two thirds of the stock predates 1990, most of it on full basements, which is standard on the northern plains for frost depth as much as for space. Semi-arid soils here are compact with little organic content, and backfill placed against a foundation settles over the years into a trough that directs water toward the wall rather than away from it.

Climate and water risk

Of the 15.51 inches that arrive in an average year, 2.58 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 1 miles away at CHEYENNE 0.2 SE. May brings the wettest month at under three inches, so the annual figures describe a dry place and understate the hazard. Intense late spring cells produce runoff that this hard-crusted ground cannot absorb, and Crow Creek responds quickly to storms over a small watershed that has been built up around it.

Common water damage problems in Cheyenne

  • Crusted semi-arid soil shedding intense spring cells almost entirely
  • A small creek watershed built up around it, producing a fast response to local storms
  • Settled foundation backfill forming a trough that channels water down the wall
  • Outbuildings, garages, and vacant rentals losing heat in a deep cold snap and releasing at full pressure on the thaw

Frequently asked questions

The soil next to our foundation has sunk into a trench.

That is settled backfill and it is one of the most common causes of basement water in this region. Material placed against the foundation during construction consolidates over years, and in compact soil it settles into a channel that slopes toward the wall instead of away from it. Rain and meltwater then run straight down to the footing. Refilling and regrading the perimeter is inexpensive and it resolves more spring basement water here than any interior work.

How quickly does Crow Creek respond to a storm?

Quickly, because the watershed is small and increasingly developed. A heavy cell over the drainage produces a rise within a short period rather than over hours, so there is limited time between the storm and the peak. That means preparation has to be based on the forecast rather than on watching the water. It also means the flood passes fast, which limits duration without limiting the damage done during it.

What should we do about an unheated garage or shed with plumbing?

Drain it for the winter rather than trying to keep it warm. Heating an outbuilding through a plains winter is expensive and it fails at exactly the wrong moment, during an outage or a deep cold snap. A drained system cannot split. For anything that has to stay in service, insulation plus a reliable heat source plus a low-temperature alarm is the working combination, and the alarm is the part most owners leave out.
