Water damage in Arvada
Arvada has two kinds of housing, and they flood in different ways. The ranch homes around Olde Town and south of Ralston Road are mostly 1950s to 70s, with original sewer laterals, older water heaters and basements finished in stages over the decades. Up north, Candelas, Leyden Rock and Whisper Creek are newer, with modern plumbing and big finished lower levels.
In the older homes, sewer backups and slow leaks behind paneling are common. In the newer ones, it's more often a supply line, an ice maker connection or a sump pump that quit during a spring storm.
Arvada also sits right against the foothills, so a heavy afternoon storm can put a lot of water against a foundation in a short time. Window wells without covers are one of the most common ways it gets in.

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a call. We'll tell you honestly if it needs a visit.
Standing water or wet carpet
Anything more than a small spill on a hard floor needs extraction, and wet carpet pad almost always needs to come out.
A stain on the ceiling
Water above a ceiling is sitting on drywall and insulation. It won't dry on its own.
Water from a floor drain
Water coming up through a basement floor drain is almost always sewage, and needs to be handled that way.
A musty smell
A musty smell with nothing visible usually means moisture in a wall, under flooring or in a crawlspace.
Floors lifting or soft
Cupping hardwood, swelling laminate or a soft spot near a toilet means water underneath.
It's been more than a day
Water that's been sitting for 24 to 48 hours is when mold becomes a real risk.
What happens after you call
- 1
Tell us what's wet
Where the water is, how long it's been there, and whether it's still coming in. If it is, we'll help you find the shutoff while you're on the phone.
- 2
We look before we price
We map where the water actually went, usually further than it looks: under flooring, up the drywall, into the next room. You get a written scope and price before any work starts.

Extraction and drying
Standing water comes out first. Anything that can't be saved, like soaked carpet pad or swollen baseboard, gets removed. Then air movers and dehumidifiers go in, and we check readings every day.

Sign-off when it's actually dry
Equipment comes out when the readings hit dry, not on a set day. You get a report with photos, readings and what was removed. The invoice matches the scope line for line.
What affects the cost of water damage restoration in Arvada
Every water damage job is priced after we see it. These are the things that move the number.
How much water, and how long it sat
A wet spot caught in an hour is a small job. Water that sat all weekend has usually reached framing, subfloor and the room below.
Clean water or contaminated
Water from a supply line is clean. Water from a sewer, a toilet or outside is contaminated, and that changes what can be saved.
What got wet
Carpet pad usually goes. Hardwood, plaster and insulation take longer to dry. Tile and concrete are easier.
How much has to come out
Sometimes baseboard is enough. Sometimes the bottom two feet of drywall or a ceiling has to come down so things can dry.
How many days of drying
Most jobs take three to five days of equipment running. We go by readings, so it's the materials that decide.
Access
Crawlspaces, mountain homes with long driveways and finished spaces full of belongings take more time to set up.
Why Arvada homeowners call Bennett Water Damage
We show you the numbers
Moisture readings get taken and written down every day. You'll know the job is done because the numbers say so, not because we said so.
We'll tell you if you don't need us
Sometimes a small leak caught early just needs a fan and a day. If that's your situation, we'll say so, and you'll get it in writing like any other finding.
You know who's in your house
We tell you up front who'll be on site and who they work for. No surprise subcontractors.
Paperwork your adjuster can use
Dated photos, daily moisture logs, a list of what was removed and why. It makes the insurance side a lot less painful.
No pressure to sign
An assessment isn't a sales pitch. Want a second opinion or a day to talk to your insurance company? That's fine, and the price doesn't change.
We refer out what isn't ours
If the fix is really a plumber's or a roofer's job, we'll tell you that instead of stretching to cover it ourselves.
What customers have said
My mother lives alone and gets nervous about tradespeople coming into the house unannounced. Whoever they sent explained everything slowly, twice over if she asked, and did not seem remotely impatient about repeating himself. That mattered to me a great deal more than anything about the actual physical work involved.
Second opinion after a scary quote elsewhere. Turned out to be a fraction of the job I had been told.
They told me it had a few years left and did not try to sell me anything. I called them back the following year, which I suspect was the point.
They told me honestly partway through that one part of the job needed a genuinely different kind of specialist entirely, and referred me directly rather than stretching their own scope to awkwardly cover ground they were not really suited for. That referral probably cost them the extra work, and I trust them more for saying so.
Arrived slightly early, which I usually find fairly annoying if I am honest, but they called ahead first to check it actually suited me rather than just turning up unannounced. That one small courtesy set the tone for how the whole rest of the visit went, and it went well throughout.
Told me plainly that one part of what I wanted was not worth doing. That is the sentence that got them the work.

Water damage questions from Arvada homeowners
Is basement water in an older Arvada home usually from the sewer or from outside?
It can be either. Clear water that shows up after a storm usually came from outside, through a window well or a crack. Water that comes up through a floor drain, especially if it smells, is usually a sewer line problem and needs to be treated as contaminated.
What should I do before you get there?
Shut off the water if it's still coming in, turn off power to wet areas only if you can reach the breaker from a dry spot, take photos and video of everything, and move small valuables off the floor. Don't pull up carpet or throw anything away until it's photographed.
How long does drying usually take?
Most jobs take three to five days with equipment running. Colorado's dry air helps, but it also makes things feel dry before they are, so we go by daily moisture readings.
Will my homeowners insurance cover this?
Sudden and accidental water, like a burst pipe or a failed hose, is usually covered. Slow leaks, outside flooding and sewer backups often aren't unless you have the right coverage. We give you dated photos, daily readings and a written scope either way.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
