Water damage and mould remediation in Denver

Restoration firms for drying and mould removal.

71 pros in Denver

Water damage in the Denver area often starts with a cold snap or a long absence rather than a storm. Denver Water's cold-weather tips say to keep the thermostat set above 65 degrees when you leave a house or business for several days, which is a useful reminder that an empty building can be where trouble begins. Mould is a separate matter here. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says it does not regulate mold, and that mold issues fall under two state laws, including House Bill 18-1397 on the landlord-tenant warranty of habitability. So before you hire, ask any restoration or mould company what standard it follows for drying and for removal, and get the scope of work in writing. If you rent, check what your landlord must address under that law before you pay for work yourself. Also ask your insurer early, because the Division of Insurance says flooding from rain waters or broken outdoor water systems is typically excluded from homeowners coverage. Keep photos and a dated record of what you find.

Questions about hiring in Denver

Does the state regulate mould removal in Colorado?

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says it does not regulate mold. It says mold issues fall under two state laws, including House Bill 18-1397 on the landlord-tenant warranty of habitability. Because of this, ask any company what method and standard it follows, and get that in writing. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (source, opens in a new tab)

Will my homeowners insurance cover flooding from sprinklers or rain?

Not usually. The Colorado Division of Insurance says flooding caused by rain waters or broken outdoor water systems, such as sprinklers or irrigation systems, is typically excluded from homeowners coverage. Read your policy and call your insurer before authorising any work, and keep photos of the damage. Colorado Division of Insurance (source, opens in a new tab)

What should a water damage quote include?

A good quote lists the areas to be dried or repaired, the equipment and materials, what is being removed, how moisture will be checked, and the timeline. It should say what happens if hidden damage is found. Ask for the same level of detail from each company so the quotes can be compared.

How can I lower the risk of frozen pipes when I am away?

Denver Water's cold-weather tips say to keep the thermostat set above 65 degrees when you leave a house or business for several days. Burst pipes in an empty building can go unnoticed, so this simple step helps you avoid a drying and restoration job later. Denver Water (source, opens in a new tab)
