(888) 532-8620Call for water trouble in Old TownPricing depends on the wet area and the materials, and every job starts with moisture readings and photos for the insurance file.
What to do while the water is still spreading
- 1Stop the source Close the main valve or the appliance supply, then keep everyone away from wet outlets and cords.
- 2Call for extraction Standing water drives into subfloor and drywall quickly, so extraction should start before anything else is moved.
- 3Photograph the damage Take wide and close photos of wet floors, walls and belongings before cleanup begins, for the adjuster.
- 4Lift what can move Pull rugs, books and small furniture off wet floors and prop sofa legs on foil or blocks.
- 5Do not vacuum water A household vacuum is not built for standing water, so leave pumping and drying to the extraction crew.
Drying that follows how the building was made
Louisville housing runs from Old Town cottages near Main Street to neighborhoods with mature trees that date from roughly the 1970s to the 1990s, so no two jobs dry alike.

From a stalled sump pump to a cracked supply pipe, each service below is handled by crews that dry the structure, not just clear the surface water.
Water Extraction and RemovalPumps and wands pull standing water from hardwood, tile and carpet before it reaches the subfloor.See this service
Basement Flooding CleanupLower levels are pumped out, stripped of soaked finishes and dried through to the framing.See this service
Sump Pump Failure CleanupWhen a pit overflows or a pump quits, the spill is extracted and nearby walls and floor are dried.See this service
Frozen Pipe Water DamagePipes split in unheated walls, garages and crawl spaces, and the thaw sends water through ceilings and cabinets.See this service
Burst Pipe Water DamageA failed fitting or split pipe can soak several rooms, so extraction and opened cavities come first.See this service
Flash Flood CleanupStorm runoff entering at a door or window is extracted, and the entry area is dried and sanitized.See this service
Hail and Roof Leak Water DamageHail or wind damage lets rain into attics and ceilings, so wet insulation and drywall are dried out.See this service
Water Heater Leak CleanupA failed tank floods a utility room or lower level, and wet carpet and wall bases are dried out.See this service
Appliance and Supply Line LeaksWashers, dishwashers and ice makers leak behind cabinets, and in attached homes water can reach a neighbor's ceiling.See this service
Sewage Backup CleanupContaminated backups are extracted with protective gear, then affected materials are removed and the area is sanitized.See this service
Structural Drying and DehumidificationDehumidifiers and air movers dry framing, subfloor and wall cavities until moisture readings return to normal.See this service
Commercial Water DamageShops, offices and restaurants get drying plans built around opening hours, tenants and shared walls.See this service
A repeatable process for every wet job
Every job follows the same four stages, from the first moisture scan to the final dry readings, and each stage is written down so the adjuster can follow it.
- 1
Stop the water
The crew confirms the source is shut off, then sets up pumps and extraction wands for standing water.
- 2
Map the moisture
Readings are taken room by room and logged on a diagram, so removal stays limited to materials that cannot dry in place.
- 3
Dry the structure
Equipment runs around the clock while technicians recheck the readings and move air to the slowest areas.
- 4
Document and close
Final readings, photos and an itemized log go to the owner and the adjuster before equipment is pulled out.
The equipment a measured dry-out runs on
- Truck-mounted extraction units and portable extractors
- LGR dehumidifiers, with desiccants for dense Class 4 materials
- Air movers set to each room's evaporation load
- Thermal imaging cameras and pinless moisture meters
What a careful dry out includes
Moisture mapped first
Moisture meters and an infrared camera locate wet drywall, subfloor and framing before a single air mover is placed.
Surfaces identified
Hardwood, tile, carpet and drywall each hold water differently, so the crew notes what every wet surface is made of before setting equipment.
Equipment sized to the room
Air movers and dehumidifiers are chosen for the room's volume and how wet the materials are, then adjusted each visit.
Readings decide the end
Equipment stays until moisture readings match dry reference points, and the photos and logs are saved for the claim.
Typical cost ranges for water cleanup
Most jobs land between $1,200 and $20,000 or more, depending on how many rooms are wet, how long the water sat and whether it came from a clean supply or a sewer. A written scope built from the first moisture scan replaces guesswork, so the number is not a surprise.
Single room or hallway
- Clean water from a supply or appliance leak
- Extraction plus a short drying run
- Little or no wall removal
Several rooms or a full lower level
- Water spread through carpet and walls
- Baseboards and drywall bases opened up
- Several days of equipment drying
Category 3 or flood runoff
- Sewage or storm water involved
- Porous materials removed and bagged
- Sanitizing and clearance readings
These ranges are estimates until the crew sees the damage. Exact numbers depend on the materials, the square footage that is wet and what the insurance policy covers.
What structural drying looks like in a home
Records that support the claim
Adjusters work from evidence, so the crew records moisture readings, photos and equipment logs from the first visit and keeps them organized for the claim.
Before the adjuster visits
Save damaged items that can be photographed, such as a soaked rug or swollen cabinet door, rather than hauling everything to the curb right away.
Check the policy for water backup coverage, because sewer and drain backups can be treated differently from a sudden pipe leak, and ask the adjuster what proof is needed.
- Dated photos of every wet room
- Moisture readings before and after drying
- A list of materials removed and why
- Equipment placement and daily run logs
- An itemized scope the adjuster can compare with the policy

Water risks that matter to local households
The 2020 Census counted 8,628 households in town, and every one has a water heater, supply pipes and drains where a slow leak can spread unseen behind walls and under floors.
- Water heater failures A failed tank floods a utility room or lower level fast, and water heater work falls in the City's quick-turnaround permit group.
- Burst and frozen pipes Pipes in unheated walls, garages and crawl spaces can split when temperatures drop hard, and the water often goes unnoticed until it stains a ceiling below.
- Sewer and drain backups City of Louisville Public Works oversees sewer pipes, and a backup that reaches a floor drain is a sewage job, not a simple cleanup.
- Storm and hail water Front Range storms can drive rain through roofs, windows and door thresholds, and the Colorado Climate Center's history list includes a Denver hailstorm.
- Leaks between neighbors Townhomes and condos share walls and floors with neighbors, so a washer or dishwasher leak can reach the unit next door. Drying has to cover both sides of a shared wall.
Three situations worth a closer look
Pipe breaks in town
Split pipes in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls flood ceilings, cabinets and carpet below, so extraction and opened wall cavities come first.
Burst pipe cleanupLeaks in attached homes
A leaking washer, dishwasher or supply hose can send water into a shared wall or a neighbor's ceiling, widening the drying area.
Appliance leak cleanupBackups that reach floors
Sewage that rises through a floor drain or toilet carries contamination, so protective gear, removal of porous materials and sanitizing are required.
Sewage backup cleanupCommon water damage questions
How fast should water be removed?
Extraction should begin as soon as the source is stopped. In the first 24 to 48 hours, damp drywall, framing and carpet can start growing mold, which turns a dry out into a larger project.
What does the first visit include?
Technicians find and confirm the water source, extract standing water, take moisture readings and photos, then explain which materials can dry in place and which must come out. A written scope follows, so the owner knows what is being removed and why.
Who handles permits for plumbing repairs?
Repairs to pipes, water heaters and sewer or water service go through the City of Louisville Building Safety division. When a homeowner hires a plumbing contractor, Colorado rules leave the plumbing permit to that contractor, and drying work is planned around the repair.
Is sewage cleanup different from clean water?
Yes. Sewage and drain backups are contaminated water, so protective gear is worn, porous materials such as carpet and drywall are removed, and the area is sanitized before drying starts. Clean supply water is treated more gently, and more of the structure can often be saved.
Can a shared wall spread water to neighbors?
In townhomes and condos, water from one unit can travel through shared walls, floors and ceilings. Moisture readings are taken in the adjoining areas too, so the drying plan covers wet spots that are not visible.
Does hail or roof damage need drying too?
Yes. Rain that enters through a damaged roof soaks insulation, ceilings and walls even when the roof looks sealed again, so the attic and rooms below are scanned and the wet materials dried out.
How much does water cleanup cost here?
Small clean water losses start around $1,200, while sewage or flood runoff in a finished basement can reach $20,000 or more. The scope after the moisture scan sets the real number.
Do the crews handle both homes and businesses?
Yes. Homes range from older cottages to newer townhomes, and shops and restaurants on South McCaslin Boulevard and Marshall Road need plans that keep the business open where possible.
What helps while waiting for the crew?
Stop the source, lift small items off wet floors, photograph the damage and keep people away from wet outlets and cords. Leave wet drywall and flooring in place so the technicians can scan it before anything is removed.
What happens if drying waits a day or two?
Mold can begin to grow on damp materials in 24 to 48 hours. Fast extraction, steady airflow and dehumidification, plus readings that confirm dry framing, keep that window from becoming a larger loss.
