Water Damage Restoration

When water invades your property, every minute counts. Standing water causes exponential damage — warping floors, saturating drywall, and creating the perfect conditions for mold growth within 24-48 hours. Stars and Bars Restoration provides true 24/7 emergency water damage response across Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Cañon City, Colorado City, and all of Southern Colorado. When you call 719-676-2456, a live person answers — not a call center — and we dispatch our team immediately.

1. Emergency Contact & Dispatch — Call us any time, day or night. We ask targeted questions about the damage and dispatch our nearest crew. 2. Inspection & Assessment — We arrive with moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and years of experience. We identify the water source, classify the water damage category (clean, gray, or black water), and document everything for your insurance claim. 3. Water Extraction — Using truck-mounted and portable extraction units, we remove standing water fast. Our commercial equipment can extract hundreds of gallons per hour. 4. Structural Drying — We strategically place commercial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers throughout the affected area. Daily moisture monitoring ensures thorough drying. 5. Cleaning & Sanitization — We clean affected belongings, sanitize surfaces, and treat for odors. Antimicrobial treatments prevent mold growth. 6. Restoration & Rebuild — From replacing drywall and flooring to complete room reconstruction, we handle the full rebuild to return your property to pre-loss condition.

Our region faces unique water damage risks: • Frozen & burst pipes — Colorado's harsh winters regularly cause pipes to freeze and burst, especially in older homes and properties at higher elevations. • Spring snowmelt flooding — Rapid snowmelt from the Sangre de Cristo and Front Range mountains can overwhelm drainage and flood basements. • Monsoon storms — Summer brings intense thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail that can cause roof leaks, window failures, and flash flooding. • Appliance failures — Water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers are common sources of sudden water damage. • Sewer backups — Heavy rain can overwhelm aging municipal systems, causing sewage to back up into homes. Whatever the cause, our IICRC-certified technicians have the training and equipment to handle it.
