Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you get to my property?

We respond fast. Our home base area (Colorado City, Pueblo, Cañon City) sees response times under 45 minutes. Colorado Springs, Trinidad, and Woodland Park — typically under 60 minutes. We cover all of Southern Colorado and always give you an estimated arrival time when you call.

What should I do while waiting for your team?

Safety first — ensure everyone is out of danger. If safe to do so: turn off the water source (for water damage), don't enter fire-damaged areas, avoid electrical outlets in flooded areas, and try to move valuables above the water line. We'll guide you on the phone while our team is en route.

Do you work with all insurance companies?

Yes. We work with all major insurance carriers and have experience with the claims process. We can communicate directly with your adjuster, provide the documentation they need, and bill the insurance company directly in most cases.

Is there a charge for the emergency response?

Emergency response and assessment are part of the restoration process. If you proceed with restoration (which insurance typically covers), there's no separate emergency fee. We provide honest assessments and transparent pricing — no surprise charges.

What if the emergency happens in the middle of the night?

We respond the same at 3 AM as we do at 3 PM. Our team is on call 24/7/365, including holidays and weekends. Water damage and fires don't wait, and neither do we. Call 719-676-2456 any time.
