Rapid temperature drops freeze pipes in exterior walls. Heavy summer storms flood creeks and low streets. Strong downslope winds off the mountains can damage roofs, siding and fences.
The Old North End and Old Colorado City have historic homes with basements and older plumbing, while Briargate and the northern suburbs have newer homes with finished basements.

Water Damage 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.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and wood in 24 to 48 hours, and materials keep absorbing water the longer it sits.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually for sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements.
