24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Gillette, WY
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.

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
Why can nothing be assumed from the house next door?
Because a great deal of this housing went up very fast, and speed produces variation. Framing details, insulation coverage and pipe routing differ between houses built in the same month on the same street. It means probe readings and a small opening early, rather than working from what was found in a similar building.
A line froze in an inside wall. Is that normal?
It happens here more than it should, and it usually points at a gap. A supply line in an interior wall should not reach freezing, so when one does there is generally a missing or displaced piece of insulation in the exterior wall nearby, or a route through an unheated space. That gets found while the wall is open.
What does six months of freezing weather mean for the schedule?
That the building has to be warmed before drying achieves much, for half the year. Cold framing and cold concrete will not release whatever equipment is running, so heat comes first and the run is longer for it. Once the space is warm, the very dry air here brings the readings down quickly.
