Why callers use this line
Why Choose Our Specialized Emergency Water Removal Network in Lyons, CO
When water is actively on the floor, the only things that matter are who answers and how fast pumps show up.
Upfront Written Estimates
Emergency or not, you should see a written estimate before the hoses go down. Many work directly with your insurance adjuster, so you are not fronting the whole bill alone.
Rapid Local Dispatch, Any Hour
Water heaters and washer hoses fail on holidays and at 2 a.m., which is why the dispatch line stays open. The crews are close by, and you get a straight arrival window rather than a vague promise.
Pumps Built for Standing Water
Expect submersible pumps for inches-deep water and trash pumps that swallow grit and leaves without choking. They also bring long discharge hose and portable generators for houses with the power cut.
Field notes from the dispatch desk
What to Do in the Next 30 Minutes, Room by Room
This is what our dispatchers walk callers through on the phone, night after night.
Garage or utility closet: Find the main shutoff, often where the line enters the house or near the water heater, and turn it clockwise until it stops. If the water heater is the source, also shut its gas or flip its breaker.
Breaker panel: Only touch the panel if you are standing on a dry floor with dry hands. Shut off circuits for flooded rooms; if water is near the panel itself, stay out and tell the dispatcher.
Kitchen and living areas: Lift furniture legs onto wood blocks or squares of aluminum foil so stain and rust do not bleed into carpet. Get rugs, electronics, paper files and photos up off the floor.
Under a wet ceiling: If a ceiling is bowing down, it is full of water and can drop without warning. Crews often make a small controlled drain hole into a bucket, but leave that to them if the bulge is large.
Before you mop, move or throw out anything, walk through and take photos and video of every wet room. Your adjuster will want to see it as you found it.
What the crews handle
What Emergency Removal Crews Handle on Arrival
The goal of the first visit is simple: stop the water, get it out, and keep it from spreading overnight.
Burst Water Heaters and Garage Floods
When a water heater tank splits in the middle of the night, it keeps feeding water until the cold supply is shut. The crew isolates the tank, pumps out the garage and checks whether water slid under the wall into the house.
- Gas or power to the heater shut off safely
- Thresholds and wall bases checked for travel
Washer Hose Bursts While You Were Away
A washer hose that blows while you are out of town can run for days and reach several rooms plus the level beneath. After pumping, the crew checks walls, cabinet bases and the ceiling underneath for water that is still hiding.
- Braided steel replacement hoses recommended
- Ceiling below tested before anyone walks under it
Deep Standing Water Pump-Out
Inches of water need a submersible pump; water with grit, leaves or debris needs a trash pump that will not clog. The discharge hose is run well away from the foundation so the water does not come right back in.
Sagging Ceilings and Controlled Drains
Water trapped above ceiling drywall can bring the whole panel down. The crew clears the space, lays tarps, drains it slowly into containers and then removes the soaked drywall.
Protecting People, Pets and Belongings
Before any machine runs, crews check for live wires near water and keep children and pets out of wet rooms. Furniture is blocked up, rugs are pulled, and valuables are moved to a dry room.
Night, Weekend and Holiday Calls
Water emergencies do not respect business hours, and neither does the dispatch line. If after-hours rates apply, the contractor should say so before work starts and put it in writing.
How it works
What Happens After You Call
Call the 24/7 Dispatch Line

Rapid Mobile Arrival With Pumps
Your crew shows up with pumps, discharge hose, safety equipment and a generator if the power is out. Their first checks are that the source is off and the wet rooms are safe to enter.
Expert Assessment and Written Quote
The tech maps where the water went with a moisture meter and writes up the job before pumping starts.
Resolution, Pump-Out and Sign-Off
The crew pumps the standing water, removes saturated materials and sets up drying gear. You get photos and readings for your claim and sign off on what was done.
From callers
Late-Night Calls, in Callers' Own Words
Our garage water heater let go at 2 in the morning and I was standing in water with no clue what to turn off. The person on the referral line walked me to the valve over the phone and set up a local crew that was pumping before daylight.
After two days out of town we walked in to a flooded laundry room and water dripping through the ceiling below. The referral line connected me with a nearby contractor who pumped it out and set equipment the same day.
On Thanksgiving Day the guest room ceiling started to sag with water. The dispatcher said to clear the room, and the crew we were connected with drained the ceiling safely before it dropped.
Questions
Questions Callers Ask in the Middle of the Night
What should I do before the water removal crew arrives?
Close the main valve, turn off breakers to flooded rooms if the panel is dry, and move kids and pets away from the water. After that, take photos of every wet room before cleanup.
Lift furniture onto blocks or foil and pick up rugs and electronics if it is safe to do so.
Is it safe to stay in the house with standing water?
It can be, as long as the water is from a clean supply line, wet circuits are off and nothing overhead is bulging. Water from a toilet, sewer or outside flooding is a different story; keep people out of those rooms.
When the crew arrives, they will point out any rooms that should stay closed.
Should I call my insurance company first or the water removal crew first?
Stop the water and call for removal first. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Report the claim as soon as you can after that, and keep every receipt.
Sudden, accidental leaks are usually covered under a standard homeowners policy, but always check your own policy and adjuster.
What if my ceiling is sagging from water?
Clear the room and stay out from under it, because a bowing ceiling is full of water and can collapse. Put a tarp and a bucket below it and tell the dispatcher so the crew comes prepared.
Crews usually drain it through a small controlled hole and then remove the wet drywall.
Do water removal crews come out at night and on holidays?
They do. Our line is staffed 24/7, and contractors in the network respond on nights, weekends and holidays. You get a real arrival window from the dispatcher on the call.
Ask whether after-hours rates apply, and make sure that shows up on the written estimate.
