Water in the basement? Stop the source if you safely can, stay away from wet outlets and electrical, and call the Colorado Crew. We pump out standing water, dry the structure, and haul out the carpet, drywall and belongings that can’t be saved. Book online or call (970) 788-2884.
What to do in the first hour
- Shut off the water at the main if a pipe, water heater or appliance is leaking.
- Don’t walk into standing water near outlets, cords or a furnace. Shut off power to the basement only if you can reach the panel safely.
- Take photos and video of the water and damaged items before anything is moved.
- Move dry valuables upstairs and get rugs and boxes off wet floors.
- Call (970) 788-2884. The sooner drying starts, the less has to be torn out.
Our flooded basement cleanup process
- Water extraction. We pump out standing water and extract what’s soaked into carpet and pad.
- Moisture mapping. We check walls, floors and framing with moisture meters to find where the water went.
- Removal of what can’t be saved. Wet pad, drywall and insulation come out so the structure can dry.
- Structural drying. Air movers and dehumidifiers run until readings say the space is dry.
- Clean-up and sanitizing. Affected areas are cleaned, and sewage-affected areas are sanitized.
- Debris haul-off. Ruined contents and materials leave with us. No second company needed.
Why Colorado basements flood
- Sump pump failure or power outage during a storm
- Sewer or floor-drain backup
- Frozen and burst pipes during cold snaps
- Spring snowmelt and heavy rain coming in through window wells and foundation cracks
- Failed water heaters, washing machine hoses and water softeners
Basement water damage cleanup
Not every wet basement looks like a flood. A slow water heater leak, a sump pump that quit overnight or a floor drain that backed up can leave an inch of water and damp walls that are easy to miss. Basement water damage spreads quietly: water wicks up drywall, soaks into carpet pad and sits under flooring and in the bottom of finished walls. Our basement water cleanup covers all of it, not just the water you can see.
- Remove standing water. Pumps and extractors pull water out of carpet, pad and low spots so drying can start.
- Find hidden moisture. Moisture meters show how far water has wicked up the walls and under the flooring.
- Open up what traps water. Baseboards, the bottom of wet drywall and wet insulation come out when they can’t dry in place.
- Dry it down. Dehumidifiers and air movers run until readings match the dry parts of the house.
- Check before we leave. We confirm the readings and walk you through what came out and why.
When mold becomes a risk
Mold can start growing on wet drywall, carpet pad and wood within 24 to 48 hours. That’s why fast water removal and drying matter more than anything else. If we find mold growth during a cleanup, we’ll show you where it is and talk through your options before any more work is done.
Water in the basement after hours?
Basements don’t flood on a schedule. Our posted hours are 7 AM to 7 PM. 24/7 emergency service available. Book online or call (970) 788-2884 and tell us what happened.
Flooded basement cleanup and junk removal from one crew
Most flood cleanups leave a pile: soaked carpet, swollen furniture, boxes of wet storage. Because the Colorado Crew also does junk removal and garage cleanouts, the debris leaves with the same people who dried your basement. For burst pipes and leaks upstairs, see water damage restoration. For fire, smoke and storm damage, see water, fire & storm restoration.
Insurance and documentation
We photograph the damage and record moisture readings as we work, so you have clear records to share with your adjuster. Whether a loss is covered is between you and your insurer, and we’ll give you straight answers about what we found.

Basement flood cleanup FAQs
Do you offer flooded basement service in Parker?
Yes. Mission GDS is based in Parker, and flooded basement cleanup is one of the restoration services the Mission GDS team handles across Parker and the South Metro. We pull out the water, dry the space, haul off ruined carpet and belongings, and document the damage for your insurance claim. Book online or call (970) 788-2884.
How fast should a flooded basement be dried out?
As fast as possible. Drywall, carpet pad and framing that stay wet for a day or two can start growing mold, so call as soon as the water is stopped.
Can I keep my carpet after a basement flood?
Sometimes. Clean water caught early can often be dried in place, but carpet pad usually has to go. Carpet soaked by sewer backup should be removed. We check and tell you straight.
Is sewer backup water dangerous?
Yes. Sewage backup carries bacteria, so stay out of it, keep kids and pets away, and let a crew with protective gear remove and sanitize the affected materials.
How do I know if water got into my basement walls?
Look for swollen or stained baseboards, paint bubbling near the floor, a musty smell, or carpet that feels damp at the edges. Water wicks up drywall, so the damage often reaches higher than the waterline. We check with moisture meters so nothing is left wet behind the wall.
Do you work with insurance?
Your coverage is between you and your insurer. We document what we find with photos and moisture readings so you can share them with your adjuster.
Do you haul away the damaged materials?
Yes. Wet drywall, carpet, furniture and boxes leave with the same crew through our junk removal and cleanout service.
