Holly Hills is a 371-acre pocket of unincorporated Arapahoe County completely surrounded by the City of Denver, east of Colorado Boulevard between Yale and Hampden, with about 2,700 people in roughly 1,050 houses. Denver annexed everything around it in the 1950s and 1960s, and Holly Hills stayed out, so it is governed by the county, schooled by Cherry Creek, and mailed through a Denver ZIP code. The houses are brick ranches and split-levels from the late 1950s and 1960s on lots a little larger than the Denver blocks next door, with full basements under nearly all of them.
The water pattern is a 1960 ranch in the middle of a city: original copper and galvanized lines, a boiler in some of the older houses, a water heater in a basement utility room, and a finished basement from the 1970s with carpet over a slab. The High Line Canal passes just to the south, and the ground along it stays damp all summer.
This site puts Holly Hills homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider meters the lower level first and decides from the readings.
A finished basement with damp carpet along the south wall after a wet spring is a basement flooding cleanup. A galvanized supply line that finally rusted through in a wall is burst pipe water damage. A hose bib line that froze in a garage wall over a January weekend is frozen pipe cleanup, and the room below it is part of the job.
Because Holly Hills is unincorporated, a rebuild permit for plumbing, drywall, or wiring goes to Arapahoe County's building division in Littleton rather than to Denver, even though every neighbor across the street pulls from Denver. Children here attend Holly Hills Elementary and Cherry Creek High School in the Cherry Creek School District, another line that does not follow the Denver map. Denver Water sends the water bill.
Call (720) 807-5901 and describe what is on the floor. We put you through to an independent local water damage provider serving Holly Hills.
Groundwater, a failed pit pump, or a broken line in a finished Cherry Hills basement pumped out, then carpet pad, drywall, and framing metered.
Standing water pulled off hardwood, tile, and basement concrete on any level of the house, with the first moisture readings taken the same visit.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until plaster, studs, subfloor, and slab reach their dry target in a mile-high house.
Cleanup after a supply line, hose bib, or sprinkler backflow froze in a January cold snap and split, then drying of everything the thaw soaked.
A failed supply line, boiler fitting, or radiant loop on an upper floor, and the ceilings, walls, and floors below it, dried from the top down.
A high Denver Water bill, a warm patch on a slab, or a musty wall traced to its source before anyone opens plaster or cuts tile.
A tank that let go in a basement mechanical room or a garage closet, and the flooring, drywall, and storage around it dried out.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a summer hailstorm or a wind-lifted shingle let water into the house.
