Water Damage Restoration for Westminster Homes and Businesses
Westminster borders Broomfield, and Broomfield Water Damage Pros responds to calls from both Westminster ZIP codes, 80031 and 80030. The City of Westminster estimates a population of about 116,000, and our office is at 2095 W 6th Ave in Broomfield and the dispatch line is open around the clock.
Typical causes of water damage in a city this size include burst pipes in winter, water heater and washing machine failures, basement seepage after hard rain, and sewer backups. Each one gets a different first step, which is why we ask questions before a crew is sent. The emergency water removal page explains what happens once the crew is on site.
First hourWhen Water Is Spreading in Westminster
Water can travel a long way in a house before you notice it. Start with the steps below and call us while you do them, because the first hour decides how much has to be torn out later.
If Water Is Still Spreading
Stop the source
Close the fixture valve or the main shut-off. If you cannot find it, call the utility.
Cut power with care
Switch off power to wet areas only if the panel is reachable on dry ground.
Lift and protect
Raise rugs, boxes and electronics off wet floors and keep children and pets out.
Photograph first
Take photos and video before anything moves, for your insurer.
Call the 24/7 line
Give the address and describe what you see.
Electrical or gas risk? Call the utility or 911 first
If water touches outlets, appliances or the panel, stay out of it. Call the utility or 911 for any electrical or gas concern before you call a restoration company.

Creeks, Floodplains and What the City Says
The City of Westminster's floodplain page says its updated flood hazard study covers Little Dry Creek, Tributary B and Shaw Heights Tributary, and that Big Dry Creek is also part of the picture. The city adds that newer homes are not allowed to be built in a floodplain, though older homes near waterways may sit in one.
To check a specific address, the city points residents to FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer viewer, the Mile High Flood District's floodplain information hub, or the city floodplain administrator. The stormwater coordinator's line is 303-658-2370. A homeowner's policy generally does not cover flood damage, so the city says a separate NFIP policy may be needed and a lender may require it.
Westminster also holds a Class 5 rating in FEMA's Community Rating System, which the city says gives a 25 percent premium discount on flood insurance in particular flood hazard areas. Our flood damage restoration page covers what happens after storm or creek water enters a home.
Housing and historyWhat the Age of the Neighborhood Changes
Westminster's history is layered. The city dates its first permanent settler to 1870, the railroad to 1881 and its incorporation to 1911, and its historic pages name South Westminster along Irving Street and Shaw Heights among the older areas. Census figures put the median value of owner-occupied homes at about $532,400.
Older homes in places like these tend to have original supply lines, galvanized or copper plumbing and cast iron drains that fail at joints and valves. Newer subdivisions more often leak at appliance hoses, water heater connections and condensate lines. Knowing which kind of house we are in tells us where to point the moisture meter first.

Westminster Questions
We cover Westminster ZIP codes 80031 and 80030. Some Westminster addresses use other mailing ZIP codes, and parts of Arvada sit next to the city, so give us the street address and we will confirm coverage.
Yes. The dispatch line is open 24 hours a day, every day, and we aim for same-day response when available. We do not promise an arrival time because traffic and crew locations change.
The city lists 303-658-2500 for water and sewer issues. Report a problem in the city's lines there, then call us about the damage inside your home.
That depends on the work. Westminster handles building permits through its Building Division and the eTRAKiT system, and the division can answer repair-specific questions at 303-658-2075.
Usually not. The city notes that homeowner's policies do not cover flood, so a separate NFIP policy may be needed. Check your policy and ask your insurer how your loss is classified.
