Failed grout, caulk, or a leaking valve lets shower and tub water into the walls and floor around it. Fort Collins crews find the hidden moisture and dry the structure before it rots the framing.
The crew maps moisture around the shower or tub, in the wall, floor, and any ceiling below, to pin down where the water is escaping.
Wet wall or ceiling sections are opened where needed, and absorbed and standing water is extracted from the cavity and subfloor.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing, subfloor, and wall cavity to a measured target.
Readings confirm the area is dry, and the loss is photographed and logged for the insurance claim.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Shower and tub leak cleanup in Fort Collins typically runs from about $700 to $3,500, depending on how long the leak ran and how much framing, subfloor, and ceiling were soaked. A freshly caught leak is on the low end; a long-hidden leak that rotted framing and dropped a ceiling below is on the high end. When a sudden covered event is behind it, the loss is documented and billed direct to the carrier. The tile or valve repair is separate.
Crews reach Fort Collins, Larimer County, and the nearby northern Front Range fast, from Old Town, Midtown, and Campus West to Laporte, Wellington, Loveland, Windsor, and Timnath. See the full list on the areas served across Fort Collins page.

Technicians follow recognized IICRC drying standards and prove it with daily moisture readings on Fort Collins homes, not guesswork.

Loose or discolored tile, peeling caulk, a soft spot in the floor by the tub, a musty smell, or a stain on the ceiling below an upstairs bath all point to a hidden leak.
More than it seems. A bathroom gets wet daily, so a small leak keeps feeding the same framing and subfloor and can rot the structure. Drying it early avoids a bigger repair.
Crews handle the water cleanup and drying. A tile setter or plumber makes the repair, coordinated so drying finishes once the leak source is fixed.
A sudden failure is usually covered, including the resulting damage. Long-term leaks from worn grout or caulk that were ignored may not be. The loss is documented to support the claim.
Crews open only where needed and use targeted drying to pull moisture from the cavity, keeping removal to a minimum while confirming the framing is dry.
Fort Collins crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
