Why You Should Not Wait
Water keeps working after it stops falling.
It Spreads
Water wicks into drywall, baseboards and subfloor, well past the wet spot you can see.
Mold Starts Fast
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials.
Costs Climb
Drying a room early is usually far cheaper than replacing floors and walls later.

Missoula Burst Pipes and Flooding: What the Team Does First
Missoula averages 163 nights a year at or below freezing, so a burst pipe is a same-day job. Restoration crews handle split pipes and wet basements every week. NOAA logged 19 flood and flash flood days in Mineral and Missoula counties from 2016 to 2025.
What the Restoration Team Does First
- Pumps out standing water and extracts wet carpet.
- Sets up air movers and dehumidifiers to dry walls and floors.
- Takes moisture readings to find water you cannot see.
- Photographs the damage for your insurance claim.
- Treats wet areas to help prevent mold.
Quick note: stay out of standing water near outlets or appliances.

- Your insurance company, if you plan to file a claim.
- The best callback number, in case the call drops.
Missoula Storm Damage: Wind, Hail and Flood Water Inside the Home
A storm can tear off shingles, break windows and push rain or flood water into the house. NOAA logged 43 days with damaging wind reports and 14 days with hail reports in Mineral and Missoula counties from 2016 to 2025. Restoration crews handle storm calls every week, and the work starts with getting the water out.
What the Restoration Team Does First for Storm Damage
- Extracts standing water and soaked carpet and pad.
- Dries walls, floors and framing with air movers and dehumidifiers, checked with moisture readings.
- Coordinates a board-up for broken windows and doors and a tarp over roof openings.
- Photographs and documents the damage for your insurance claim.
Quick note: stay clear of downed power lines and standing water near outlets.

Questions
Will my insurance cover water damage?
It depends on your policy. Sudden leaks like a burst pipe are often covered. Flooding from rising water usually needs separate flood insurance. Ask your insurer.
How much does water damage cleanup cost?
It depends on how much area is wet, the water type and the drying time. Each company sets its own prices. Ask for a written estimate.
How fast can someone arrive?
The company sets a time with you on the call, as soon as possible and same day when available. Active water is treated as an urgent job.
Can a restoration team help with storm damage?
Yes. Wind, hail and flood water inside the home are routine restoration jobs. The team extracts the water, dries the structure, arranges a board-up or a tarp over openings and photographs the damage for your claim. Flood coverage depends on your policy.
What does the restoration team do first?
They remove standing water, set up drying equipment, take moisture readings and photograph the damage for your claim. If a pipe burst, shutting the main water valve when you can reach it keeps the job smaller.
