Colorado Flood Risks Are Rising – How Anatom Restoration Helps Homeowners Stay One Step Ahead

It is no secret anymore: Colorado is getting hit harder and more often by extreme weather. 

From surprise downpours in Fort Collins to fast-moving storms near Colorado Springs, homeowners all over the state are dealing with the growing threat of water damage. 

Cities are working on big flood prevention projects, but the truth is simple: it is up to you to protect your home.

Just a few hours of heavy rain can cause serious problems. 

And it did elsewhere in Texas this July, over a foot of rain fell in under an hour on the Guadalupe River, causing flash floods that surged more than 26 feet on July 4. 

That kind of rapid flooding shows how fast water damage can strike, and how it often comes without warning.

What Water Damage Really Costs You

On average, fixing water damage in Colorado can cost over $11,000, and that is not counting the stress. 

Wet drywall, ruined flooring, musty smells, and mold that creeps in behind the scenes – it adds up fast.

“People think if they mop up the water, it is handled,” says the team at Anatom Restoration, based in Denver. “But water hides. It gets into the walls, under the floors, and that is when mold starts growing. We have seen it dozens of times.”

One recent job they handled was in Aurora – a family came back from vacation to find their basement flooded. 

Anatom’s crew showed up the same day, pumped out the water, dried everything out, and found early mold forming behind one wall. 

Because they caught it fast, the family avoided major repairs and the insurance covered nearly everything.

What You Can Do Right Now:

• Walk Your Basement – Look for signs of moisture, check the sump pump (if you have one), and seal up cracks.
  
• Gear Up – Have a dehumidifier ready, and if you are in a low area, keep a portable pump just in case.
  
• Check Your Coverage – Not every insurance policy includes water damage. A quick review can save you big.
