Flood Damage Cleanup Services in Colorado Springs

Although Colorado Springs is in a semi-arid zone, we’re no strangers to flash floods. Intense spring runoff and summer storms often overwhelm outdated drainage systems. In neighborhoods with poor grading or neglected stormwater maintenance, flood waters can quickly breach basements and lower levels.

Why Flood Water Cleanup Requires a Professional

Flood water from outside sources is typically classified as Category 3 “black water,” meaning it may contain harmful bacteria, sewage, and chemicals. Attempting to clean it yourself is not only ineffective but dangerous.

Let our IICRC-certified team safely remove, disinfect, and dry your space thoroughly.

Mold Prevention & Structural Drying

Even a small amount of remaining moisture can lead to mold growth in 24–48 hours. We use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to ensure a complete dry-out.
