At Homewise Restoration, we believe that effective water damage restoration requires deep local knowledge. We understand how the local climate, soil conditions, and building styles affect water intrusion patterns. Our team is not a generic national franchise; we are local professionals who know the streets of Longmont, from the historic blocks of Old Town to the newer subdivisions near Union Reservoir.
Our experienced crew is fully trained in the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration. We don’t rely on guesswork or the region’s low relative humidity to dry your property. Instead, we use precision moisture meters and thermal imaging to track water migration through drywall cavities and subfloors, ensuring your home or business is completely dry and safe from mold.
Founded in 1871 by a group of Chicago emigrants known as the Chicago-Colorado Colony, Longmont was planned with a distinct grid system that remains visible in Old Town today. The city’s name is a portmanteau of Longs Peak—the towering 14,259-foot mountain that dominates the western horizon—and “mont,” the French word for mountain. Initially an agricultural hub centered on sugar beet processing and flour milling, Longmont has evolved into a diverse city known for technology, craft brewing, and community-owned gigabit internet.
The architectural landscape of Longmont reflects this rich history. In older neighborhoods like Hover Acres and Old Town, you will find mid-century ranch homes and historic bungalows with mature tree canopies. These older properties often feature original hardwood floors and aging clay sewer laterals that are susceptible to tree root intrusion, leading to localized sewage backups. Meanwhile, newer developments on the east side often feature expansive finished basements that serve as primary living spaces, making water mitigation highly complex when a sump pump fails or a pipe bursts.
The defining environmental event in recent memory was the catastrophic September 2013 flood, when St. Vrain Creek overflowed its banks and reshaped the local landscape. This event highlighted the critical importance of proper drainage, resilient building codes, and rapid-response restoration services. Today, Longmont residents remain highly proactive about protecting their properties from the rapid spring snowmelt and intense summer thunderstorms that characterize the Front Range climate.
Nestled against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, Longmont is a vibrant community characterized by its rich agricultural history, thriving craft breweries, and beautiful outdoor spaces. From the scenic waters of Union Reservoir to the bustling historic downtown along Main Street, the city offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern innovation.
However, living near natural water features like St. Vrain Creek requires an awareness of local flood patterns. We are proud to support this resilient community by protecting its homes, historic buildings, and local businesses from water-related disasters.

Below are common questions:
Our emergency response team is based locally and can typically arrive at your Longmont property within 60 minutes of your call. Rapid response is critical because standing water can begin to cause irreversible damage to drywall, hardwood floors, and carpet within hours. Prompt water damage restoration in Longmont also prevents mold spores from germinating, which can happen in as little as 24 to 48 hours under the right conditions.
Coverage depends on the source of the water and your specific policy. Standard homeowners insurance typically covers sudden, accidental interior water damage, such as a burst pipe or an appliance failure. However, groundwater flooding—such as water seeping through foundation walls during heavy rains or St. Vrain Creek rising—usually requires a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program. We provide detailed documentation to help you navigate the claims process with your carrier.
Longmont sits at an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet, making it highly susceptible to rapid spring snowmelt from the nearby Rocky Mountains. When temperatures rise quickly, the sudden volume of meltwater can saturate the local clay soils, causing groundwater to seep through basement walls or overwhelm residential sump pumps. Regular maintenance of your sump pump and ensuring proper grading around your foundation are essential steps to prevent water damage restoration in Longmont during the spring.
Yes, mold remains a significant risk despite Colorado’s semi-arid climate. While the outdoor air is dry, water trapped inside drywall cavities, under hardwood flooring, or beneath carpets creates a microclimate with high humidity. Without professional water damage restoration in Longmont, this trapped moisture will feed mold growth within 48 hours. We use specialized moisture meters and thermal cameras to ensure all hidden dampness is completely eliminated.
You should call a certified restoration professional immediately. Sewage backups contain Category 3 ‘black water,’ which carries harmful pathogens, bacteria, and viruses that pose severe health risks. Our team is fully equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) and industrial-grade sanitizers to safely extract the waste, dry the structure, and completely disinfect your property in accordance with state and local health guidelines.
When you experience a flood, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do. Micheal, from Lone star, and his staff put us at peace with their professionalism. Michael, who was calm and composed, put me at ease about my concerns that the house was not properly dried. It was good to have someone confident enough in their field take on the task. After reading all the positive comments on Lone star's website, I knew I made the correct choice. Michael and his staff are highly recommended to anyone who is in need for restoration services.

Came home to find my basement flooded after a pipe burst. I called this restoration company, and they were at my house within an hour. They brought all the drying equipment, removed soaked carpet, and treated everything to prevent mold. Really efficient and explained each step along the way.
Susan Towner
When our sump pump broke and flooded part of the basement, Fargo's Choice Water Damage Restorations came straight away. Their workers showed up on time and immediately began removing shattered items and water. They used industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the area completely and stop mold from growing. They were open and honest with us and worked directly with our insurance adjuster while the repairs were going on. This made things a lot easier for us. The guys did a great job, worked quickly, and wanted to bring our house back to normal as soon as possible.
