Upper Skyway sits along the northern edge of Colorado Springs with homes built mostly from the late 1980s through early 2000s. Many properties back up to open space that funnels spring snowmelt toward foundations, especially on the west side of Academy Boulevard. When a pipe bursts or roof ice dams form during cold snaps, water travels quickly through crawl spaces and into finished basements because of the clay-heavy soils common here.
Our crews reach Upper Skyway addresses from the shop at 8003 N Academy Blvd within minutes. We stage equipment on Union Boulevard or Northgate Road so we can pull carpet and set dehumidifiers before moisture spreads to shared walls in the denser townhome sections. Winter calls often involve frozen supply lines under driveways that slope toward the street, while summer monsoon storms test the older storm drains along Skyway Drive.
We keep standard hours Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm so residents can meet us after work without waiting all weekend.

Water Damage Restoration Colorado Springs in Upper Skyway — Local Notes
- •Upper Skyway lots often sit on slight grades that send roof runoff straight into window wells during heavy spring rains.
- •Many single-family homes here have finished lower levels added after original construction, trapping moisture behind drywall when leaks occur.
- •Access to rear yards is frequently limited by steep driveways and mature landscaping common on streets west of Academy Boulevard.
- •Cold high-plains winters cause repeated freeze-thaw cycles that open small foundation cracks, letting groundwater enter during snowmelt.
