HQ was informed by its insurance adjuster that its policy will likely not cover the damages since the water line break occurred outside of its walls, co-owner Scott Happel said.
DENVER — The HQ music venue on South Broadway is closed indefinitely following a water line break flooded its basement last week. The venue is now accepting donations to help shoulder the costs of repairs and closure.
Happel was at dinner last Tuesday evening when he got a call from his landlord, saying that the neighboring business was seeing water coming in through its walls. Happel arrived at HQ to find its basement completely filled with water. According to Denver Water, it was a “customer-owned” water line that broke, and crews responded early August 16 to repair the leak. The force of the water was so strong, it caused one of the walls of HQ’s basement to give way and broke through an interior door. A representative for Denver Water said it has not identified an “exact cause” for the break but ruled out the ongoing construction project along Broadway.
Happel is expecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and lost business. His best guess is reopening in November.
