Louviers is the old DuPont company town on the west side of U.S. 85 between Sedalia and Chatfield, about 290 people at 5,614 feet, laid out in 1906 to house the workers at the dynamite plant and named for the Du Pont family's Delaware estate. The houses are the original company cottages and bungalows on a tight grid of streets, with a few newer homes on the edges, and many of them still have the shallow basements and crawl spaces they were built with.
A century-old house has its own water problems. Cast iron and galvanized lines, foundations of stone and early concrete, and basements that were never meant to be finished all meet a Front Range winter and a spring melt every year. The community is on its own small water system, not a big regional district.
This site connects Louviers homeowners with an independent local water damage provider by phone. You describe what you found, and the provider works out what to look at first.
A galvanized line that let go in a crawl space is burst pipe water damage, and the crew checks the floor above it as well as the dirt below. Water on a shallow basement floor after a wet week is basement flooding cleanup. A tank in a cramped utility corner is water heater leak cleanup.
The Louviers Water and Sanitation District runs the town's water and sewer as its own small system and posts its board meetings and water quality notices online. Louviers is unincorporated, so rebuild permits go through the Douglas County Building Division.
