Water Damage Restoration in Cherry Hills Village, CO

Cherry Hills Village was platted in the 1920s on cherry orchards south of Denver and incorporated on July 19, 1945, with a charter built around one idea: acre lots, no commercial zone, and bridle paths instead of sidewalks. About 6,400 people live here today in roughly six square miles between Hampden Avenue and Belleview, University Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard, at about 5,400 feet. The oldest houses are 1920s estates along Hampden; most of the rest are brick ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s and custom two-stories from the 1980s onward, nearly all of them with full, finished basements.

Two waterways cross the city. Little Dry Creek comes in from Centennial on its way to the Platte, and the High Line Canal winds across the middle of town, seeping most of the irrigation water it carries into the ground beside it from April through October. Basements near either one take ground water in a wet spring, and every basement in town is exposed to a pipe that freezes in January or a roof that hail opens in June.

This site puts Cherry Hills Village homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider walks the basement with a meter, names the source, and sets the scope from the readings.

Cherry Hills Village water damage, from the canal side of the basement to the attic

A finished basement with carpet darkening along the canal-side wall after a week of storms is a basement flooding cleanup, and it starts with pulling the pad and metering every wall on the level. A hose bib or garage line that split in a December cold snap is frozen pipe cleanup, and it includes the room below the wall. A brown ring on an upstairs ceiling the morning after a hailstorm is roof leak water damage, and the attic insulation is part of the job.

The school on the Blackmer land and the club that hosted three U.S. Opens

The city's two largest pieces of open ground are private. Kent Denver School sits on 200 acres of the old Blackmer Farm along East Quincy Avenue, with two lakes and the High Line Canal along its edge, and its campus is one reason the ground on that side of town holds water. Cherry Hills Country Club, laid out in 1922 on the west side of the city, has hosted three U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships, and the neighborhoods around it, Old Cherry Hills and Cherryridge, are the oldest in town.

Rebuild permits for plumbing, wiring, and finished walls go through the city's building department at city hall on East Quincy Avenue; Denver Water runs the water system inside the city, and the Cherry Hills Village Sanitation District, a separate entity, runs the sewer.
