Arlington Park sits near the University of Northern Colorado. Its bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes were built between 1910 and 1945. If you need flooded basement cleanup near Arlington Park, the age of the house matters. Older lower levels hold older materials, and water finds every weak spot in them.
About 81.6% of residents here rent and 18.4% own. That means a wet basement often involves a tenant, a landlord and an insurer. We start with a moisture map, explain what is wet, and keep clear records for everyone who needs them.

Renters, Landlords and Who Calls First
Most homes in Arlington Park are rented. When a basement floods, the tenant often sees it first and the owner may not know yet. Tell the owner right away, and call us while you wait.
We photograph the water, the damage and the drying equipment. We keep daily readings. Those records help whoever files the claim, and we offer direct insurance billing.

Flooded Basements
Pre-War Basements Need Testing Before Demolition
Homes built between 1910 and 1945 can hold old materials in the lower level. Trade practice is to test materials from before 1980 for lead and asbestos before any demolition.
We take samples before we pull wet walls or flooring. That protects you and keeps dust from spreading to the floors above.

Swelling Clay Behind Old Foundation Walls
The City of Greeley says expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement can shift buried pipes and open cracks near a foundation.
We check the grade, the downspouts and the window wells first. These are the common ways water gets in. We tell you what we find so the cause is fixed, not only the damage.

One Hour of Rain, One Wet Basement
Greeley storms can hit fast. On July 1, 2021, the city saw 3 to 4 inches of rain in about an hour. Water that comes in from outside is not clean.
We plan to remove porous materials like carpet, pad and wet drywall. Then we dry the framing and the slab with air movers and dehumidifiers.

Call (970) 714-3978Sewer Water in a Rented Lower Level
The City of Greeley runs 10 sewage pumping stations and says a station failure could back up basements. Sewage is the most serious kind of water. It needs containment and protective gear.
Sewer backup is often a separate insurance endorsement with its own lower limit. Ask your policy or your landlord's policy. We document the source before any demolition.
We also serve nearby University District, Downtown Greeley, Glenmere.

Why does my older basement flood after storms?
Greeley has expansive clay that swells and shrinks. We check the grade, downspouts and window wells to find how water got in.

Not always. Sewer backup is usually an endorsement with its own limit. Check your policy, and we will document the source.
