Lakewood sits east of downtown Colorado Springs with a mix of 1960s ranch homes and newer infill on smaller lots. Cold winters and sudden snowmelt often send water under slabs and into crawl spaces along streets like Airport Road and Chelton. Our crew at 5745 Industrial Pl reaches these blocks quickly via Powers and Platte, extracting water before it reaches neighboring foundations.
Semi-arid summers bring brief but intense storms that overwhelm older gutters and low spots near Peterson Space Force Base. We see repeated calls after hail or heavy rain when downspouts empty against stucco walls. Fast drying with truck-mounted equipment keeps drywall and subfloors intact in these tightly spaced properties.
Access through narrow driveways and shared fences in Lakewood means we stage equipment on the street and use portable extractors inside. This approach limits disruption for residents while addressing moisture trapped in the clay-heavy soil common east of the airport.

Water Damage Restoration in Lakewood — Local Notes
- •Many Lakewood homes built in the 1960s-1970s have cast-iron drains that crack under shifting high-plains soil, sending water into finished basements.
- •Lots near the airport often sit lower than the street, so snowmelt and summer runoff collect against rear foundations before homeowners notice.
- •Narrow side yards and shared fences require portable equipment rather than large trailers when we respond to calls along Chelton and Academy.
