Recent Storm Floods Basement on Golden Home?
6/6/2023 (Permalink)
We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Jefferson County.
Our Golden, Wheat Ridge, and Evergreen team has been restoring storm damage in Golden for over forty years. During extended rain events, stormwater runoff can cause flooding of creeks and streams and clog storm drains. It is not uncommon for water to pool around the base of foundations and cause basements to flood. For this reason, it is good to check your sump pump and make sure it is in good working order.
Here is some from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety to keep your sump pump working correctly:
- Open the lid and remove debris that may be blocking the water inlet screen
- Pour about five gallons of water into the pump and watch the float valve rise
- As the float valve rises, the pump should turn on, and the water should discharge through the outlet pipe
- Go outside and inspect the outlet pipe
- Water should be flowing from the pipe and away from the home
- Contact a plumbing professional if the sump pump fails to operate during this inspection
- Install a battery backup system
- Choose a system with a battery replacement warning
- Replace batteries every two to three years

Old Corroded Plumbing Pipes Cause Water Damage in Genesee?
5/16/2023 (Permalink)
We restore water damage in Jefferson County 24 hours a day.
Have you inspected your plumbing pipes lately? On average, plumbing pipes can last from forty to eighty years. Our Golden, Wheat Ridge and Evergreen team has been responding to water damage emergencies in Genesee for many years. In many cases, old, corroded pipes have rusted out and caused water damage.
The lifespan of pipes depends on the materials the pipes are made from.
· Copper pipes last sixty to eighty years
· Galvanized pipes last forty to fifty years
· Cast iron pipes last fifty to sixty-five years
If you notice visible signs of rust or damage, your pipes will need to be replaced soon. Also, the average lifespan of a water shut-off valve is twenty years, so it will be important to inspect it often and replace it when it becomes difficult to open and close.
