Water Damage Restoration in Westcliffe

Westcliffe sits at 7,888 feet in the Wet Mountain Valley with the Sangre de Cristo range on one side, and that elevation defines the work here. Hard freezes are not an occasional event, they are most of the winter, and frozen and burst pipes are the number one call we take in Custer County. Many properties are ranch homes, cabins, or part-time residences, so a break can run for days before anyone notices. Spring brings the other half: snowmelt off the Sangres comes down through the valley and finds crawl spaces and low foundations. We carry commercial drying equipment up here because at this altitude and humidity, drying behaves differently than it does in Pueblo.

Westcliffe Restoration FAQs

Do you actually service the Wet Mountain Valley?

Yes. Westcliffe and Silver Cliff are in our service area and we bring our own equipment rather than subcontracting the work out.

A pipe froze and burst while I was away. What do I do first?

Shut off the water at the main, kill power to any affected area if water is near outlets or panels, and call us. Do not wait for your insurance company to authorize anything. Mitigation is expected to start immediately and every hour of standing water widens the damage.

How long does drying take at this altitude?

Usually a little longer than at lower elevation, and it requires monitoring rather than guessing. We take moisture readings daily and pull equipment when the materials reach dry standard, not on a fixed schedule.

Can you help with a property you cannot access in winter?

We work with owners and caretakers on winter access. If a road is impassable we will tell you honestly rather than sit on the claim.
