The independent licensed firm that carries out the restoration work
Requests for water damage assistance in Thornton and Adams County, whether telephoned or submitted through this Site, are taken in by Thornton Water Damage Restoration and passed onward. No water is extracted, no drying plant is run, no damage is surveyed, no mold is remediated and no repair or reconstruction is undertaken by Thornton Water Damage Restoration. Those activities are carried out by a separate local restoration firm, the partner to which your job is allocated, and liability for the survey, the quoted figure, the plant used, the personnel on site and the standard of the finished work rests with that firm alone.
The duty to hold every licence, permit and registration that Colorado and the applicable local authorities attach to the work performed, to engage personnel accordingly, and to keep its own insurance in force, falls on that firm and not on this Site. Before a building permit is issued for repair or reconstruction following drying, the City of Thornton requires a city contractor licence; plumbing and electrical work is carried out under state licences administered by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. This Site holds no licence whatsoever and asserts none. It takes no position on whether Colorado licenses restoration firms as such, and it has not examined the licence, insurance or certification records of any firm for you.
A caller who asks will be told the allocated firm's licence number, either by telephone on this line or by the firm itself when it makes contact ahead of the visit. The number is withheld from these pages because it is that firm's own registration detail and its privacy belongs to the firm. Check anything you are told against the issuing body: the Department of Regulatory Agencies runs a public licence search covering plumbers and electricians, while the City of Thornton Building Inspection division, on 303-538-7250 or buildings@thorntonco.gov, deals with contractor licensing and building permits. Certifications individual technicians may carry are trade credentials awarded by industry bodies and are not state licences. No statement on this Site should be taken as a promise of insurance coverage, of a particular result, or of a time of arrival.
Call and ask for the licence number before work starts (833) 490-5225

Prices are estimates
Price ranges are typical estimates for our service area in 2026. They are not quotes or offers. Your price is confirmed in person before any work starts.
Safety around water damage
Standing water can hide live electrical circuits: do not walk into a flooded room until power to that area is off. Sewage and floodwater (IICRC Category 3) can carry bacteria and viruses; keep children, pets and anyone with a weak immune system away, and do not handle contaminated materials without protection. Visible mold larger than a small patch should be assessed before anyone disturbs it. When in doubt, leave the area and call a professional.
Licensing, standards and insurance
Repair and reconstruction work in Colorado is regulated by that state's contractor licensing board. The IICRC S500 (water damage) and S520 (mold remediation) standards are industry guidance, not government licenses. Insurance coverage is decided by your insurer under your policy; nothing on this Site is a promise of coverage or of a claim outcome, and information here is a summary, not legal or insurance advice.
