Learn about storm damage →What Damages Property in Florence
The ice jam sent water into Florence River Park and toward homes on the north side of County Road 119 between Highway 115 and Highway 67. Ice jams can shift quickly, and meltwater from a jam can reach crawl spaces and low spots with little warning.
On July 23, 2018, rushing water, trees, hail and mud closed Highway 115 between Florence and Cañon City, showing how summer storms bring runoff and debris as well. If water enters a home, shut off power to wet areas if it is safe, move belongings up, and call early: river and storm water is contaminated, and wet drywall, insulation and carpet pad should come out quickly.
How We Handle Losses in Florence
Florence has high elevation and a dry climate, yet river ice, storm runoff, hail season from May to August and freeze and thaw cycles can all damage a home. We extract water, set drying equipment and track moisture readings daily until the structure reaches target.
Mold usually follows water in Florence homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Florence usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
