Todd Creek is the unincorporated Adams County community northeast of Thornton, along the creek that gives it its name, where the houses sit on one- to two-acre lots instead of quarter-acres. Most went up between the mid-1990s and the 2010s: large custom and semi-custom ranches and two-stories on full basements, many on private wells and septic systems rather than city water and sewer. The creek itself drains the farmland to the north and runs through the community on its way to the South Platte, and the low lots along it hold water for weeks after a wet spring.
This site connects Todd Creek homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider.
The gap between a rain and a wet basement is longer on an acre lot than on a city street. Water that fell on the pasture takes a day or two to work through the clay to the foundation, so a basement that is dry the morning after a storm can be wet on the third day. Check again before you decide the house came through fine.
A basement that took groundwater along the creek side of the house after a September storm is a basement flooding cleanup. A well pressure tank or a supply line in an unheated well house that froze and split is a frozen pipe cleanup. A pinhole in a long copper run under a slab is a leak detection job.
Children here attend 27J Schools out of Brighton, on a four-day week, which is one of the ways a Todd Creek address differs from a Thornton one a mile west. Rebuild permits for an unincorporated Todd Creek house go through Adams County, and a septic system that took water in the same storm is a county health matter too.
Call (720) 735-3725 and tell us what the basement looks like. An independent local water damage provider serving Todd Creek picks it up from there.
Water pumped out of a finished or unfinished Thornton basement, then the bottom of every wall and the slab metered to see what stayed wet.
Standing water pulled off carpet, tile, wood, and concrete on any floor of the house, with the first moisture readings taken the same visit.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set from daily readings until subfloor, studs, and drywall reach their dry target in a dry-climate house.
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a garage wall, crawl space, or north-facing wall during an arctic night and split when it thawed.
A failed supply line, a cracked fitting, or an old galvanized run in a 1950s ranch let go, and the rooms it soaked get pumped out and dried.
The tank in the basement utility corner rusted through overnight, and the floor, framing, and stored boxes it soaked get dried out.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a hailstorm, a wind-torn shingle, or an ice dam let meltwater into the house.
A high Thornton Water bill, a warm patch on a slab floor, or a damp spot with no visible source tracked to the pipe behind it before walls open.
