Cherry Hills Water Damage exists because the houses here are not like the houses ten minutes east. An acre lot on the High Line Canal, a 1960s brick ranch with a boiler in the basement, a 2005 custom two-story with a theater and a wine room below grade: each one gets wet in its own way. When you call, we put you through to one independent local provider who works Cherry Hills Village and the south Denver suburbs every week. That provider walks the house, writes the scope, and performs the work. Whatever you and that provider agree on for price, timing, or warranty is your agreement with them; this site is not part of it.
The city was laid out in the 1920s on old cherry orchards and kept its acre lots when it incorporated in 1945. Postwar builders put brick ranches on those lots through the 1970s, and the 1980s through 2020s added gated enclaves of custom homes. Almost every house has a full basement, and in this market the basement is finished to the same standard as the main floor.
Then there is the ground. The High Line Canal seeps most of what it carries into the soil beside it from spring through early fall, and Little Dry Creek crosses the city on its way to the Platte. The September 2013 rains that the Colorado Encyclopedia records as a fourteen-county disaster put Arapahoe County on that list and filled basements that had been dry for decades. Winter brings the opposite problem: hose bibs, garage lines, and sprinkler backflows that split when the temperature drops below zero for a night or two.
The provider starts at the lowest level with a moisture meter and a flashlight. They lift a corner of the carpet, check the pad, and meter the drywall at the base of every wall, then compare each reading to a dry wall upstairs. They look for the source before they set equipment: a pipe, a boiler or radiant loop, a roof, or ground water coming through the slab or a floor drain. Stone, hardwood, and built-in millwork get metered on their own, because those materials dry differently from carpet and drywall and are worth trying to save. The readings decide which walls open and which stay, and the same readings go into the log your adjuster will ask for.
We cover Cherry Hills Village and its neighborhoods first: Old Cherry Hills, Cherryridge, Devonshire Heights, Mansfield Heights, Cherry Hills North, Charlou, Cherry Hills Farm, Glenmoor, Buell Mansion, and Cherry Hills Park. We also cover Greenwood Village, Englewood, Littleton, Centennial, Bow Mar, and Columbine Valley in Arapahoe County, and the Denver neighborhoods along the city line: Cherry Creek, Belcaro, Wellshire, University Hills, Hampden South, Southmoor Park, and the county enclave of Holly Hills. Houses in the unincorporated parts of the county and near the creeks fall under Arapahoe County floodplain management, which is worth knowing before a rebuild changes anything near the creek.
Providers represent their own licensing and insurance. Colorado licenses plumbers at the state level through the State Plumbing Board, part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies, and any license can be looked up there. General contractors are licensed by each city, so ask the rebuild contractor which municipal license they hold. Ask the provider for a certificate of insurance and a written scope before the first wall opens, and ask early who handles drywall, flooring, and paint after the drying is done.
Call (720) 807-5901 at any hour. Have the property address and a callback number handy, and say which level is wet, whether the water has stopped, and whether it came from a pipe, the roof, or the ground.
