OCD Restore | Expert Damage Restoration in Longmont, CO | Water & Ice Dam Repair

Early signs include pooling water around the base of the water heater, a noticeable drop in hot water pressure, or a persistent musty smell near the appliance. If you live near neighborhoods like Westview or the St. Vrain Greenway, where basements are common, you might also see damp spots on walls or flooring. OCD Restore recommends checking for rust on the tank or connections, as this can indicate a slow leak that worsens over time. Catching these signs early allows for faster restoration and helps prevent costly structural damage.

Ice dams often form on roofs during Longmont winters, leading to water seepage that warps hardwood floors near exterior walls or windows. OCD Restore starts by extracting standing water and using specialized drying equipment to prevent cupping or buckling. They assess the subfloor for moisture damage and may sand and refinish affected areas to restore the original look. For homes near Sunset Golf Course or the Longmont Museum, where older hardwoods are common, they take extra care to match the finish. The goal is to salvage as much of the floor as possible while preventing mold growth.

First, turn off the HVAC system to stop the overflow, then call OCD Restore immediately. This issue is common in summer months, especially in homes near McIntosh Lake or the Twin Peaks Mall area. Our team will extract the water, dry affected areas like ceilings or walls, and clean the condensate line to prevent future clogs. We also inspect for hidden moisture that could lead to mold. Acting quickly is key—delays can result in secondary damage to drywall or insulation, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency service for Longmont residents.
