Flood damage cleanup in Colorado Springs, CO

Flood cleanup treats outside floodwater as contaminated: it removes water and mud, cuts out wet drywall and insulation above the waterline, sanitizes, and dries the structure. Floodwater carries sewage and chemicals, so porous materials it touched are usually discarded.

Flood damage cleanup questions

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Colorado Springs?

Generally yes, though many Colorado policies have separate wind and hail deductibles.

Do I need a permit for repairs in Colorado Springs?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.

Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?

Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.

Can drywall that got flood water be dried?

Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
