Denver Floods: Types of Flooding in Denver CO

We can help with any flooding situation
A flood is a type of natural disaster that causes severe flooding in low-lying areas and can occur anywhere, but typically occurs along coasts or rivers.
Flooding is usually contaminated with dirt and debris that seeps into homes as well as sewage and bacteria. The type of flooding that occurs depends on where the water is coming from.
Floods can be a huge problem in the Denver area, especially after an intense storm.
Flooding happens when water covers a large surface area and it comes from sources like rivers, streams, lakes or oceans.
Floodwaters can come from any natural or manmade source, and can be very damaging depending on the type of flood you have.
Floodwaters are divided into two categories: stationary floods and moving floods.
Moving Floods
A moving flood is a large volume of water that moves through an area at high speed like when a river gets out of its banks.
Floodwaters can be very dangerous because they may contain debris, chemicals and other pollutants.
Stationary Floods
A stationary flood is a large volume of water that covers an area like when rainwater collects in the ground or on top of buildings with nowhere to flow off to.
Floodwaters are not as fast-moving but still have the potential to be dangerous.
Floods are also caused by landslides, snow melts, dam breakage such as the case with Hurricane Harvey which was responsible for extensive flooding in Houston last year.
Floods are classified into two types: stationary and moving
Floodwaters can contain pollutants, debris, or chemicals that may be harmful to humans so it's important you have a Flood Cleanup Company come out right away.
