Heavy rain overwhelms sump pumps and floods finished basements. Summer storms bring flash flooding and high winds.
Original Aurora and Hoffman Heights have 1950s–1960s ranch homes with basements. Saddle Rock and Southlands have newer homes with finished basements. Most Aurora homes have basements, many fully finished with carpet, drywall and bedrooms. A failed sump pump, burst pipe or water heater can soak the entire lower level quickly, and fast extraction makes the difference between drying and replacing materials.
Licensing in Colorado: Colorado doesn't license general contractors statewide. Cities and counties, including Denver, license contractors locally, while plumbers and electricians are licensed by the state.

Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Aurora?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Aurora Building Division.
Does insurance cover hail damage in Aurora?
Generally yes, subject to your deductible. Colorado policies often have a separate wind and hail deductible.
Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?
A small backup on a hard, non-porous floor sometimes can be with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or other porous materials needs professional cleanup.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backups?
Usually only with a sewer or drain backup endorsement. Flooding from outside needs a flood policy.
