Why water damage happens in Laramie County
Wind and cold
Strong winds drive cold air into wall cavities and crawlspaces, freezing pipes that would be fine elsewhere.
Hail
Southeast Wyoming gets frequent severe hail. Damaged roofs often leak in the next storm.
Summer flash floods
Short, intense thunderstorms can overwhelm Dry Creek, Crow Creek, and street drainage.

Frequently asked questions
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Wyoming?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or failed water heater. They usually exclude gradual leaks, groundwater seepage, and outside flooding unless you have separate flood coverage. Your policy and adjuster decide what is covered.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
Start within 24–48 hours. After that, mold can begin growing on wet drywall, insulation, and framing, and repairs get bigger.
How much does water damage restoration cost?
Small dry-outs can cost a few hundred dollars; larger losses with flooring and drywall removal often run several thousand. For covered claims you typically pay your deductible. Get a written estimate first.
Is this service free?
Yes. Connecting with a restoration company through Cheyenne Water Damage Restoration is free for homeowners. Participating companies pay us for referrals.
Who actually does the work?
An independent local restoration company that serves your area. Cheyenne Water Damage Restoration is a referral service, not a contractor. Wyoming has no statewide general contractor license, but the City of Cheyenne requires contractors working in the city to be licensed through its Contractor Licensing Board and Building Safety Department.
