Water Damage Restoration in Cherry Hills Village, CO

Cherry Hills Village is a small, quiet city of estate homes on large lots, directly east of Englewood. Little Dry Creek and the High Line Canal wind through it, and many properties have mature trees, long driveways and extensive landscaping. The homes range from mid-century ranches to new custom builds, and many have large finished lower levels, multiple water heaters and long plumbing runs.

What's different about water damage in a larger home

More plumbing, more places to fail. Multiple bathrooms, wet bars, laundry rooms, steam showers, ice makers and boilers mean more connections and more supply lines that can leak.

Leaks travel farther before they're found. In a large home, a leak in a guest bath or an unused wing may run for days before anyone notices. By then water may have spread through a ceiling and into a lower level.

High-value finishes. Site-finished hardwood, natural stone, custom millwork, plaster and built-ins need careful drying. Fast extraction and close monitoring can save materials that would otherwise be replaced.

Contents. Art, rugs, pianos, wine collections and antiques need to be protected or moved before drying equipment goes in.

Irrigation and water features. Large lawns, fountains and pools add outdoor water lines. A break near the foundation can saturate the soil and seep into the lower level.

Our approach in Cherry Hills Village

• Protect contents first. Move or block up furniture, roll up rugs and photograph everything.
• Map the moisture carefully. Long runs of hardwood, plaster and built-ins need detailed readings.
• Dry in place where possible. Specialized floor and wall-cavity drying can save finishes that would otherwise be cut out.
• Keep the house livable. We set up equipment to limit noise and disruption, and keep work areas tidy.
• Document for high-value claims. Detailed photos, readings and scope help with insurers that handle high-value homes.

Common calls from Cherry Hills Village

Protecting a large home from water damage

Install an automatic water shutoff. Whole-home leak detection with an automatic shutoff valve can stop a leak within seconds. The IBHS recommends these devices for homes that are often empty.

Winterize irrigation early. Blow out sprinkler lines and shut off outdoor water before the first hard freeze.

Check rarely used bathrooms. Run water in guest baths now and then, and look under vanities for drips.

Know every shutoff. Large homes may have more than one main valve and several zone valves. Label them and show everyone in the household.
