Commerce City voted itself into being as Commerce Town on July 8, 1952, annexed part of Derby in 1962 and became a city, and now covers 41 square miles from the refineries and rail yards on the south to the new subdivisions along 104th Avenue and beyond on the north. The northern half is where Thornton's providers work most: 2000s and 2010s two-stories on full basements and slabs, built on the same clay and the same shallow water table as north Thornton. The baseball-size hail of May 30, 2024, landed here and in Henderson next door, and the roofs it bruised were still leaking in the storms that followed.
This site connects Commerce City homeowners by phone with an independent local water damage provider.
Note whether the house still has power in the basement and whether the water reached the furnace or the electrical panel. In a 2010s house the mechanical room is usually in a basement corner, and water on that floor is a reason to have the utility or an electrician look before the drying equipment plugs in.
A second-floor laundry that drained into the kitchen ceiling is a water extraction job first, then structural drying. A supply line that split in an unheated garage wall on a subzero night is a frozen pipe cleanup.
Rebuild permits for a Commerce City address go through the city's Building Safety Division. The 15,000-acre Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge takes up the middle of the city and is a good picture of what the ground was before the houses: shortgrass prairie over clay, with First Creek and the South Platte draining it.

Water pumped out of a finished or unfinished Thornton basement, then the bottom of every wall and the slab metered to see what stayed wet.
Standing water pulled off carpet, tile, wood, and concrete on any floor of the house, with the first moisture readings taken the same visit.
Air movers and dehumidifiers set from daily readings until subfloor, studs, and drywall reach their dry target in a dry-climate house.
Cleanup after a supply line froze in a garage wall, crawl space, or north-facing wall during an arctic night and split when it thawed.
A failed supply line, a cracked fitting, or an old galvanized run in a 1950s ranch let go, and the rooms it soaked get pumped out and dried.
The tank in the basement utility corner rusted through overnight, and the floor, framing, and stored boxes it soaked get dried out.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a hailstorm, a wind-torn shingle, or an ice dam let meltwater into the house.
A high Thornton Water bill, a warm patch on a slab floor, or a damp spot with no visible source tracked to the pipe behind it before walls open.
