Arvada is one of the largest cities in the west metro, and its housing tells the story of its growth. Olde Town has homes from the early 1900s. The middle of the city filled in with ranches and split-levels in the 1950s through the 1970s. The northwest side, toward Candelas and Leyden Rock, is newer, with large homes, finished basements and sump pits. Each era brings its own water damage risks.
What causes water damage in Arvada homes
Creeks and drainage ways. Ralston Creek, Van Bibber Creek and Leyden Creek cross the city. Heavy summer storms can push water into low areas, window wells and walkout basements.
Sump pump failures. Newer basements often rely on a sump pump. A stuck float, a power outage or a worn-out motor can let water rise fast. See basement flood cleanup.
Split-level lower floors. Split-levels put a family room or bedroom partly below grade. Those rooms often have carpet over slab, which soaks up water from seepage or a nearby laundry leak.
Frozen pipes. West-side homes closer to the foothills can see colder nights and more wind. Pipes in exterior walls and garages are at risk.
Expansive soils. Parts of the Front Range have clay soils that swell when wet. Over time, movement can crack foundations and let water in.

Test your sump pump twice a year. Pour a bucket of water into the pit and make sure the pump turns on and the water drains away. A battery backup keeps it running during outages.
Keep window wells clear. Remove leaves and debris, and consider clear covers so wells don't fill with rain or snow.
Grade soil away from the house. The ground should slope away from the foundation for several feet, and downspouts should discharge well away from the walls.
Check your flood zone. Homes near creeks may be in a mapped flood hazard area. FloodSmart.gov lets you look up your address.

Arvada water damage questions
Do you cover all of Arvada?
Yes. We serve Arvada in both Jefferson and Adams counties, including Olde Town, Ralston Valley, West Woods, Candelas, Leyden Rock and the neighborhoods along Wadsworth and Kipling. Zip codes include 80002, 80003, 80004, 80005 and 80007.
Why do newer Arvada homes have sump pumps?
Many newer homes on the west side were built with sump pits to handle groundwater around the foundation. When a pump fails during a storm or power outage, the basement can flood quickly.
What should I do if a creek near my home floods?
Stay away from moving water and follow local emergency instructions. After the water goes down, document damage with photos and call for cleanup. Water from outside is usually covered only by flood insurance.
Can expansive soil cause water damage?
It can contribute. Clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry can crack foundations and slabs over time, giving water a path inside. The Colorado Geological Survey has a homeowner guide on swelling soils.
