Denver – Boulder (for that matter Colorado) is a dry climate, referred as a high-desert climate.  However, our dry climate is changing. Increase in population, generating more lawns, golf courses, reservoirs.

The Flood of last September has recharged the area’s water tables to record levels, exposing crawl spaces under homes / basements that have not yet to this date fully dried out during this winter.

Additional repercussions of higher levels of moisture:

1) Expansive soils that have had a long history of dry climate are now being subject to high levels of moisture, causing havoc on residences due to expansive soils.

2) And now, mold is a factor for persons living in Colorado.  Mold gains a hold from many probable causes.  The Flood of last September has recharged the area water tables to record levels heights.  Consequently, crawl spaces under homes / basements have not yet fully dried out during this winter to construction defects, or lack of proper maintenance issues.  Sump pumps have simply not stopped running since The Flood.

Effects of mold on persons:

– Eyes water and itch all the time?

– Trouble breathing when you spend any time in your basement?
