Kissing Camels sits on the northwest side of Colorado Springs with many mid-century homes built on sloped lots near the foothills. These properties often have older plumbing and basements that take on water when sudden storms send runoff down Mesa Road and 30th Street. Our team at Colorado Springs Water Damage responds from 8003 N Academy Blvd to extract water, dry affected areas, and prevent mold in these specific conditions.
Winter freezes in El Paso County hit Kissing Camels hard because cold air pools in the lower pockets around Fillmore Street and West Colorado Avenue. Burst pipes in crawl spaces and slab leaks become common once temperatures drop. We focus on quick access through narrow driveways and tight backyards typical of this neighborhood to limit further damage to hardwood floors and drywall.
Hot summer downpours can overwhelm drainage on the rocky soil common in Kissing Camels. Water pools against foundations near the Garden of the Gods boundary before it has time to soak in. Our restoration work here always includes checking grading around each home and removing hidden moisture from under cabinets and behind vanities.

Water Damage Restoration Colorado Springs in Kissing Camels — Local Notes
- •Many Kissing Camels homes from the 1950s and 1960s have finished basements with limited egress, requiring smaller drying equipment to reach corners without major demolition.
- •Steep driveways off 30th Street and Mesa Road limit truck access, so we stage equipment at the street and carry tools in for most jobs.
- •Rocky fill around foundations traps moisture longer than the sandy soils found farther east in Briargate, so we extend drying times and monitor with meters on every visit.
- •Proximity to Garden of the Gods means high winds during storms push rain under roof edges and into attics more often than in flatter parts of El Paso County.
