Water damage
Structural drying in Colorado Springs, CO

Structural drying 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.
Why not just use fans?
Fans move air but don't remove moisture from it. Without dehumidification, the water evaporated from your walls stays in the room and soaks back into other materials.
Do walls always have to be cut open?
No. Many clean-water losses dry in place with small access holes. Walls are cut when water is contaminated, insulation is soaked, or readings won't come down.
