Aurora's Local Water Damage Experts

Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city and one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. Stretching across three counties — Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas — Aurora encompasses everything from the established neighborhoods near the original town center along Colfax Avenue to the brand-new master-planned communities pushing east toward the plains. This rapid growth means Aurora has an unusually wide range of housing ages and styles, each with its own water damage vulnerabilities.

In the older western sections of Aurora — neighborhoods along Havana Street, around Fitzsimons, and near the Original Aurora historic district — homes built in the 1950s through 1970s often have aging copper or galvanized plumbing, deteriorating sewer laterals, and basements that were not built with modern waterproofing standards. These properties are especially vulnerable to pipe failures, sewer backups, and foundation seepage during spring snowmelt and summer storms.

On the eastern side of the city, the story is different but the risks remain. Communities like Southlands, Tallyn's Reach, Murphy Creek, and Saddle Rock feature homes built within the last two decades on Colorado's notoriously expansive clay soils. When these soils absorb moisture, they swell and exert tremendous pressure on foundations, causing cracks that allow water to infiltrate. During dry periods, the soil contracts and opens gaps around foundation walls. This constant cycle of expansion and contraction is one of the most common causes of basement water problems in eastern Aurora.

Why Our Aurora Response Time Is Unmatched

Because our operations center is located in Aurora, we maintain the fastest response time in the metro: 20 minutes or less to any Aurora address. Our crews do not have to cross Denver or fight I-25 traffic to reach you. We take Smoky Hill Road to the south, E-470 to the east, Colfax or I-225 to the north — all routes we drive daily and know inside out. When your basement is filling with water at 2 AM, that proximity makes all the difference.

We keep fully loaded response vehicles staged at our Aurora facility around the clock. Each truck carries truck-mounted water extraction units capable of removing thousands of gallons per hour, commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and antimicrobial treatments. When you call, a crew rolls out within minutes — not the hour or more it takes competitors based in Denver or the western suburbs.

The Stapleton and Fitzsimons Corridor

The redevelopment of the former Stapleton Airport and the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center has transformed northwestern Aurora into one of the most sought-after residential areas in the metro. The Central Park neighborhood (formerly Stapleton) features thousands of newer homes built on land that was once a massive airfield. While these homes are modern, the area's flat topography and high water table can create drainage challenges, particularly in neighborhoods adjacent to the Sand Creek Regional Greenway where stormwater runoff concentrates during heavy rain events.

Quincy Hill and Tollgate Crossing

South-central Aurora neighborhoods like Quincy Hill and Tollgate Crossing sit along the Quincy Avenue corridor and feature a mix of single-family homes and townhome communities. These areas experience water damage most frequently from appliance failures — water heater bursts, washing machine hose ruptures, and dishwasher line leaks. In multi-story townhomes, an upstairs water heater failure can cause cascading damage through multiple floors. Our technicians are experienced at tracing water migration through multi-level structures and ensuring every affected area is properly dried.

Aurora Water Damage FAQ

Why does Colorado Rapid Dry have the fastest response time in Aurora?

Aurora is our home base. Our crews, equipment warehouse, and dispatch center are all located right here in Aurora, which means we can have a fully equipped team at your door in as little as 20 minutes — faster than any competitor driving in from across the metro area.

What causes water damage in Aurora's newer homes?

Even brand-new construction in communities like Southlands, Tallyn's Reach, and Murphy Creek can experience water damage. Common causes include improperly sealed windows, defective plumbing connections from construction, sump pump failures, and Colorado's expansive clay soils which shift and crack foundations. We see many warranty-period water issues in Aurora's rapidly growing eastern neighborhoods.

How does Aurora's climate affect water damage risks?

Aurora sits on the eastern edge of the metro where severe thunderstorms frequently develop along the Palmer Divide. These storms can produce heavy rain, large hail, and even tornadoes. The flat terrain and clay-heavy soils east of Buckley Air Force Base are particularly prone to pooling water and slow drainage, which increases the risk of basement flooding and foundation moisture intrusion.

Do you serve the Buckley Air Force Base housing area?

Yes. We regularly serve military families living on and around Buckley Space Force Base (formerly Buckley AFB). We understand the unique needs of military families, including tight PCS timelines and working with military housing offices. We can respond to the Buckley area in under 20 minutes.
