Water Damage Restoration in Palmer Lake, CO
Palmer Lake is the small town on the crest of the Palmer Divide, about 2,600 people at 7,139 feet, founded by General William Jackson Palmer in 1871 for his Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and platted as a health resort in 1882. The namesake lake dried up completely in the summer of 2012 and refilled in 2015. The houses climb the hillside west of the lake, a mix of century-old cottages, mid-century cabins, and newer custom homes on steep lots in the pines.
At 7,000 feet on the Divide, Palmer Lake gets the deepest snow and the coldest nights of any community on this site. Hillside houses have walkout lower levels facing the lake, crawl spaces on the uphill side, and supply lines that run through walls the wind hits first. Many of the older cabins were weekend places once and still have the plumbing to prove it.
This site connects Palmer Lake homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You describe what you found, and the provider works out what to meter first.
Palmer Lake water damage on a hillside at 7,000 feet
A line that froze in a cabin wall or a crawl space is frozen pipe cleanup, and the scope begins with how long it ran after the thaw. Melt that came in along the uphill wall of a walkout is basement flooding cleanup. A tank that let go in a utility closet is water heater leak cleanup.
Palmer Lake's town office on the hill
The Town of Palmer Lake runs its own water system and takes permit applications for homes inside the limits, and it sits in El Paso County, so county matters go to Colorado Springs rather than Castle Rock. Lots outside town are on wells and the county's regional building department.
Call (303) 647-9733 and tell us what you found. We put you through to a local water damage provider serving Palmer Lake.
