Highlands Ranch is the largest community in Douglas County and the biggest unincorporated one in Colorado, about 103,000 people at 5,817 feet, laid out by the Mission Viejo Company starting with the first homes near South Broadway in 1981 and built out by Shea through the 2000s. The housing is a forty-year cross-section of Front Range suburbia: 1980s two-stories near the original streets, 1990s neighborhoods along the ridge, and 2000s plans toward the Backcountry, all with full basements on the clay.
The oldest houses here are the ones to worry about, with original sump pumps, water heaters on their third replacement, and basements finished in the 1990s that have not been opened since. The June 22, 2023 tornado touched down south of C-470 here, and the hail with it opened roofs across the community that leaked in the rains that followed.
This site connects Highlands Ranch homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. Describe what you found, and the provider decides what to meter first.
A 1980s pit that overflowed during a spring outage is sump pump failure cleanup. A roof bruised by hail that let the next storm into the attic is roof leak water damage inside once it is tarped. A tank that rusted through beside the furnace is water heater leak cleanup.
Highlands Ranch Water, the district formerly known as Centennial Water and Sanitation, supplies the community and can close the curb stop on a street-side leak. The Highlands Ranch Community Association runs the recreation centers and the covenants, and rebuild permits go through the Douglas County Building Division.
