Sedalia is the small unincorporated town on U.S. 85 where East Plum Creek and West Plum Creek meet, eight miles northwest of Castle Rock at 5,824 feet. It has had a post office since 1872, and the community is a mix of old creek-bottom houses, ranch acreage along Highway 67 toward the Rampart Range, and newer custom homes on the hills. The 1965 flood came through here at close to a mile wide and took seven houses, a church, and the grange hall.
That history is the water story in Sedalia. The creek bottom is in the floodplain, the ranch lots are on well water with their own pressure tanks and pumps, and the older homes have crawl spaces and shallow basements that were never built for a wet spring.
This site connects Sedalia homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. Tell us what you walked into, and the provider who calls back picks the first thing to meter.
A pressure tank or a well line that let go in a utility room is burst pipe water damage, and the breaker for the pump takes the place of the main valve. Water that came in along a shallow foundation wall after a melt week is basement flooding cleanup. Either way, structural drying runs until the readings say the house is dry.
Cherokee Ranch and Castle looks down on Sedalia from its ridge to the north, a century-old stone castle on a working ranch that hosts tours and programs. Floodplain mapping and drainage design for the Plum Creek watershed fall to the Mile High Flood District, and rebuild permits for this unincorporated stretch go through Douglas County.
