About Boulder Water Extraction

Boulder Water Extraction is a local referral service for water removal and water damage cleanup in Boulder, Colorado. Our aim is to connect people who have standing water in a home or business with an independent water damage professional who serves the Boulder area. The service is being set up and is not taking requests yet.

How we work

We are not a contractor and we do not perform the work ourselves. You tell us what happened, and we pass your request to a local contractor who handles water extraction and drying. That contractor inspects the property, explains the work and the price, and carries out the job. Any agreement for services is between you and the contractor.

Why Boulder properties need fast water removal

Boulder sits where the foothills meet the plains, and that brings its own water problems.

• Snowmelt and heavy rain raise groundwater and push water into basements and crawl spaces.
• Sharp winter freezes split pipes in exterior walls, attics and unheated spaces.
• Older housing in many neighborhoods means aging plumbing, sewer lines and foundation seals.

Whatever the cause, the same rule applies: the sooner water is removed and the structure is dried, the less there is to repair.
