Water damage & mold help in Fort Collins, CO
Fort Collins sits on the Cache la Poudre River in northern Colorado, home to Colorado State University. In July 1997, a flash flood on Spring Creek killed five people and damaged hundreds of homes and the CSU campus. The 2012 High Park Fire burned in the foothills to the west. Hail, cold snaps and finished basements add to water damage risk.

Fort Collins homes and water damage
Old Town has early-1900s homes with basements and aging plumbing, many now student rentals. Midtown and Southeast Fort Collins have mostly 1970s–2000s homes with finished basements. Many Old Town homes near CSU have been split into rentals, with basements, plaster walls and older plumbing. Newer homes in Southeast Fort Collins usually have finished basements, where a burst pipe or failed sump pump can soak the whole lower level quickly.
Flash flooding
Spring Creek and other channels flood quickly in heavy storms, as in the deadly 1997 flood.
Hail damage
Summer hail cracks shingles and dents gutters, letting water into attics and ceilings.
Frozen pipes
Sudden cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces.
Wildfire smoke
Foothill fires like High Park in 2012 push smoke into homes across the city.
Student rental leaks
Rentals near CSU change tenants often, and slow leaks can go unreported for months.

Fort Collins questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Fort Collins?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Fort Collins Building Services.
Is my Fort Collins home in a flood zone?
Check the City of Fort Collins floodplain maps. Homeowners policies exclude flood, and many 1997 claims came from outside mapped zones.
