Old Colorado City homes along Colorado Avenue and around Bancroft Park face repeated water issues from aging pipes that crack when winter temperatures drop in El Paso County. Our crews respond from the North Academy Blvd location to extract standing water and dry out plaster walls and wooden floors common in these pre-1900 properties before mold sets in.
Narrow lots and tight alleys between 24th and 28th Streets limit equipment size, so we rely on portable extractors and air movers that fit through historic doorways without damaging original trim. Summer runoff from the foothills and occasional pipe bursts in summer heat both hit these blocks hard, and we know the drainage patterns around 25th Street that funnel water into basements.
We serve the full Old Colorado City grid plus adjacent blocks toward Manitou Springs, focusing on quick arrival to prevent secondary damage in the dense historic stock.

Water Damage Restoration Colorado Springs in Old Colorado City — Local Notes
- •Pre-1900 Victorian and adobe homes along Colorado Avenue often have outdated galvanized lines that leak slowly into crawlspaces, requiring targeted moisture mapping to avoid tearing up original floors.
- •Small rear yards and shared fences near Bancroft Park restrict large dehumidifier placement, so crews stage equipment on the street and run hoses through side gates.
- •Cold high-plains winters cause frequent supply-line freezes in uninsulated walls on 26th Street properties, and rapid spring thaws from Pikes Peak snowpack overwhelm the old storm drains.
- •Access via one-way sections of 25th Street means we stage response vehicles at the edge of the district and carry gear in by hand on many jobs.
