Wellshire is the Denver neighborhood directly north of Cherry Hills Village, between Hampden and Yale avenues, University and Colorado boulevards, wrapped around a golf course that Donald Ross laid out in 1926 on the Skeel family farm, the only Ross course west of the Mississippi. The club went broke in the Depression and Denver bought it for 60,000 dollars in 1936. The houses came in the 1950s: brick ranches and split-levels on lots of a quarter to half an acre, with full basements, on streets that curve around the course. Many have been popped up or scraped and rebuilt since 2000, and the rebuilt ones go two stories up and a full finished level down.
The High Line Canal runs along the neighborhood's southern edge and the golf course is watered every night from May to September, so the ground on the south and west sides holds water all summer. The rest of the pattern is 1950s plumbing: copper nearing seventy years, boilers in some of the original ranches, and clay sewer laterals.
This site puts Wellshire homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider. The provider maps the basement with a meter before choosing what comes out.
A basement on the course side with carpet that darkens along one wall every summer is a basement flooding cleanup and a drainage conversation. A 1955 copper line that let go behind the kitchen wall is burst pipe water damage. A tank that let go in a basement utility room next to a finished rec room is a water heater leak cleanup.
Wellshire Golf Course marked its hundredth year in 2026, and its 1927 Tudor clubhouse still stands at Hampden and Colorado; the course's irrigation is why the houses along its edge have the wettest basements in the neighborhood. Rebuild permits for a Denver house go through Community Planning and Development downtown, and Denver Water sends the bill.
Call (720) 807-5901 and describe what is on the floor. We put you through to an independent local water damage provider serving Wellshire.
Groundwater, a failed pit pump, or a broken line in a finished Cherry Hills basement pumped out, then carpet pad, drywall, and framing metered.
Standing water pulled off hardwood, tile, and basement concrete on any level of the house, with the first moisture readings taken the same visit.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run against daily readings until plaster, studs, subfloor, and slab reach their dry target in a mile-high house.
Cleanup after a supply line, hose bib, or sprinkler backflow froze in a January cold snap and split, then drying of everything the thaw soaked.
A failed supply line, boiler fitting, or radiant loop on an upper floor, and the ceilings, walls, and floors below it, dried from the top down.
A high Denver Water bill, a warm patch on a slab, or a musty wall traced to its source before anyone opens plaster or cuts tile.
A tank that let go in a basement mechanical room or a garage closet, and the flooring, drywall, and storage around it dried out.
Wet attic insulation, ceilings, and walls dried after a summer hailstorm or a wind-lifted shingle let water into the house.
