Larkspur is the small town in the East Plum Creek valley south of Castle Rock, about 200 people at 6,880 feet, with a post office since 1871 and home rule since 1979. The houses in town are older cottages and ranches on Perry Park Avenue and Spruce Mountain Road, and the lots outside the limits run to acreage with wells and septic in the pines toward the Renaissance Festival grounds and Spruce Mountain.
The elevation sets the winter. Larkspur is nearly 700 feet higher than Castle Rock, and a cold night on the Divide gets to a garage wall or a crawl space here first. Spring brings the melt off Spruce Mountain into the creek and into the shallow basements and crawl spaces of the older homes in town.
This site connects Larkspur homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. The provider walks the house, checks the crawl space or basement, and sets the scope from the readings.
A line that froze and split in a crawl space or a garage wall is frozen pipe cleanup, and the scope starts with how long it ran after the thaw. A tank that let go in a utility room is water heater leak cleanup. Standing water on a slab or a crawl space floor is water extraction before anything dries.
The Town of Larkspur takes permit applications and utility payments through its own office, and homes inside the limits are on town water. Acreage outside town is on wells and pulls rebuild permits through Douglas County.
