24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Missoula, MT
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
How fast does the water table move here?
Within hours rather than days. The valley is filled with deep clean gravel, so water entering it moves freely, and the level under a house can come up a foot or more in a day when the rivers rise. Ground like that has almost no lag in it.
Why is the basement wet when there has been no rain?
Because it is following the rivers. The gravel connects the ground under these houses directly to the water in the valley, so a warm week in the mountains raises the level here even though nothing has fallen on the town at all.
What does a pump need to handle?
A steady inflow rather than a storm peak. Water arriving through gravel comes continuously for as long as the level is up, so what matters is a pump that can run for days without trouble rather than one sized for a sudden volume.
