Water damage in Centennial homes
Centennial became a city in 2001, but most of its houses are older than that. Neighborhoods like Willow Creek, Southglenn and Homestead went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and Piney Creek and the areas farther east filled in through the 1980s and 1990s. Nearly all of them have basements, and many of those basements were finished by owners years after the house was built.
That age range shapes the calls. Original water heaters and supply lines in 1970s homes are long past their expected life, and a lot of basement floods start with one of them. Homes from the 1990s are more likely to have a failed sump pump, a washer hose that split, or an ice maker line that leaked under the kitchen floor.
Piney Creek runs through the east side of Centennial, and summer storms can send water into the lowest streets and window wells. Cold snaps freeze pipes in exterior walls and over garages here just like they do in Aurora.
Crews cover Centennial ZIP codes 80015, 80016, 80111, 80112, 80121 and 80122. The company you reach will tell you what they see, what has to come out, and how long drying should take.
