Water damage in Commerce City homes
Commerce City has two very different kinds of housing. The older south end, around Rose Hill and the old Adams City area, has small homes from the 1950s and 1960s, some with basements and some on slabs or crawlspaces. The north side, with neighborhoods like Reunion, Turnberry and Buffalo Run, is mostly built since 2000 and full of finished basements.
In the older homes, the usual calls are sewer backups through floor drains, leaks from aging galvanized lines, and pipes that freeze in crawlspaces. In the newer subdivisions, it is more often a water heater, a washer, or a sprinkler line that froze because it was not drained in the fall.
Sand Creek runs along the south side of the city on its way to the South Platte River, and storm water can back up on lower streets during heavy rain. Summer hail hits Commerce City as often as the rest of the east metro.
