Picture this: you're at work when your phone buzzes with a tornado warning for Greeley. You can't get home for two hours. When you finally pull into the driveway, rain blew through a cracked window and soaked half the living room carpet.

Most people freeze in that moment. They don't know if they should rip the carpet up, call insurance, or just start throwing towels down.

None of the above. Step one is always stopping the water source. Step two is calling a restoration company - before mold gets a 24-hour head start.

We walk you through every step after that.

End of March check-in: How did your home hold up this month?

We've had some wild weather swings - freezing temps, sudden warm-ups, a few good storms. For some homes, that's no big deal. For others, it means dealing with burst pipes, leaky roofs, or basement water.

If you made it through unscathed, that's great. Seriously. Prevention works, and all that maintenance you did paid off.

If you didn't make it through unscathed - we're here. No judgment, just help. Water damage happens to well-maintained homes too. Sometimes you do everything right and still get unlucky.

Either way, we'd love to hear from you. How's your home doing heading into April?

How long do you have before mold starts growing after water damage? The answer: 24 to 48 hours. That's your window.

Mold spores are already in every home, just waiting for moisture. Once water intrusion happens, the clock starts ticking immediately.

By 72 hours, you could be looking at visible growth and a much bigger problem. Windsor properties face unique challenges too. Our basements, seasonal temperature swings, and spring storms create conditions mold loves.

The best defense? Fast action and knowing when to call professionals.

We put together a complete guide on the mold timeline and what you can actually do to protect your property.

Severe weather season is here. Is your home ready?

March through May brings the highest risk of severe storms to Northern Colorado. Heavy rain, hail, high winds - sometimes all in the same afternoon. And when storms hit, water finds a way in.

At Emergency Service Pros, we respond to emergencies 24/7, 365 days a year. When your basement floods at 2 AM during a storm, we answer the phone. When wind-driven rain comes through a damaged window, we're there within the hour.

But here's what we really want: for you to NOT need us.

That means checking your roof for damaged shingles, cleaning gutters and downspouts, and making sure your sump pump actually works before the first big storm rolls through.

Prevention is always cheaper than restoration. But if disaster does strike, you know who to call.

Mold doesn't wait for an invitation.

Give it moisture and 48 hours, and it'll make itself at home - in your walls, under your floors, in places you can't see until the damage is done.

That's why mold remediation isn't just about killing what's visible. It's about finding the source, removing contaminated materials safely, and making sure your home is actually dry before we leave.

At Emergency Service Pros, our mold remediation process includes:

✅ Thorough inspection and moisture assessment
✅ Containment to prevent spore spread
✅ HEPA air filtration throughout the process
✅ Safe removal of affected materials
✅ Antimicrobial treatment
✅ Final clearance testing

We're IICRC certified for mold remediation and we've been serving Northern Colorado families for over 20 years. If you've got mold - or you're worried you might - give us a call. Free estimates, always.

True story from last week:

Got a call from a homeowner in Greeley who noticed her water bill had doubled. No visible leaks anywhere. She thought the water company made a mistake.

Turns out, her toilet had been running constantly - so quietly she never heard it. A worn-out flapper valve was letting water trickle into the bowl 24/7. Over two months, it wasted thousands of gallons.

The fix? A $12 part from the hardware store and 15 minutes of her time.

This is Fix a Leak Week, and stories like this are exactly why it exists. Sometimes the biggest water wasters are the ones you can't see or hear.

Has anyone else discovered a "mystery leak" in their home? We'd love to hear your stories.

Not all mold is an emergency, but some situations absolutely are. 🏠

Here's when you need to act fast:

✅ Mold covering an area larger than 10 square feet
✅ Any mold growth in your HVAC system or air ducts
✅ Unexplained health symptoms that improve when you leave home
✅ Mold appearing after water damage

The tricky part? Some of the most dangerous mold hides behind walls, under floors, or in crawl spaces where you can't see it.

If you're noticing musty odors, recurring moisture problems, or any of these warning signs, it's worth getting a professional assessment.

It's Fix a Leak Week - and we're taking it seriously.

The EPA estimates that household leaks waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water every year nationwide. That's not just bad for the environment. It's bad for your walls, your floors, and your wallet.

Here's a quick 10-minute leak check you can do right now:

✅ Kitchen: Look under the sink for any dampness, warping, or musty smell. Check the dishwasher connection and the refrigerator water line.

✅ Bathrooms: Flush each toilet and listen for running water after the tank refills. Check under sinks and around the base of toilets for moisture.

✅ Basement/Utility: Inspect your water heater for rust or puddles. Check exposed pipes for corrosion or drips. Test your sump pump by pouring water into the pit.

✅ Outside: Turn on each spigot and look for leaks at the connection. Check hose bibs for cracks from winter freeze.

Found something? Don't panic. Many small leaks are easy fixes. But if you find water damage that's already started—that's when you call us.
