Restoration Services for Ridgway and Ouray County
Ridgway sits at about 7,000 feet along the Uncompahgre River, with Ridgway State Park to the north and the Sneffels Range to the south. It's a growing town with newer homes, ranch properties out on Log Hill Mesa and Pleasant Valley, and plenty of second homes. Valley Restoration & Construction is a locally owned company based in Olathe, and we answer the phone 24/7 at (970) 964-4437.
When water, fire, smoke or mold damages your home, cabin or business, we stop the damage from spreading and handle the cleanup and the rebuild with one local team. Our technicians are trained to IICRC S500/S520/S700 standards for water damage, mold remediation and fire and smoke restoration.
What Ridgway Weather Does to Homes
- Cold nights and frozen pipes. Ridgway's winter nights drop well below freezing. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and unheated additions are the most likely to split, especially in homes left empty for weeks.
- Snow, sun and ice dams. Sunny days followed by hard freezes build ice along the eaves, and meltwater can back up under roofing.
- Spring runoff and storms. Snowmelt and summer thunderstorms can push water toward foundations, window wells and crawl spaces.
- Wildfire smoke. Smoke and soot can get into homes even when a fire is far away.
Ridgway Homes: Newer Builds, Rural Properties and Second Homes
Many Ridgway-area homes are newer, but newer doesn't mean leak-proof: failed supply lines, water heaters, ice makers and frozen hose bibs are common causes of water damage. Rural homes on wells and septic systems have their own risks, and second homes can have a leak running for days before anyone notices. Before you leave for the season, see our checklist for closing up a cabin or second home for winter in Ouray and Ridgway. If a pipe does burst, our guide on what to do in the first hour walks you through the first steps.
Western Colorado is also known for elevated radon levels, and testing is the only way to know your home's level. Our radon mitigation team can help.
