Family-Owned Restoration for Absarokee Homes, Ranches and Businesses

Treasure State Restoration answers calls from Absarokee (59001) and the rest of the Stillwater River country in Stillwater County. Our family-owned company is an IICRC Certified Firm, and our shop sits in Belgrade near Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. We take care of water damage and mold remediation, plus insulation removal, duct cleaning, and fire and smoke cleanup. That covers houses in town, ranch homes and shops, and places along the Stillwater and Rosebud rivers.

Our crew has more than 30 years behind it and over 1,000 Montana homes restored. We handle the insurance billing, so a covered claim typically costs you only the deductible. Nothing gets started until you have a written estimate.

What Causes the Most Damage in Absarokee Homes

Absarokee sits at about 4,000 feet, just south of where the Rosebud River joins the Stillwater. River flooding, hard freezes and wildfire smoke all reach homes here, and these are the risks to watch.

Stillwater River Flooding

In June 2022, the Stillwater River near Absarokee crested at 10 feet, almost 3 feet above its old record, the National Weather Service reported. Rising water ate into the riverbanks and threatened homes near town.

Heavy Rain on Melting Snow

That flood followed storms from June 10 to 13. Parts of the Beartooth and Absaroka mountains got more than 5 inches of rain on top of melting snow. Storms like that can fill crawlspaces, basements and outbuildings quickly.

Frozen Pipes in a Hard Freeze

Absarokee’s record low is -42°F, according to NOAA data. A deep cold snap can split pipes in well houses, barns and crawlspaces. A broken line in an outbuilding may flow for hours before someone finds it.

Smoke From Nearby Wildfires

In August 2021, the Trout Creek Fire near Absarokee and Nye burned more than 8,000 acres and put about 150 homes under evacuation orders. Smoke and soot work into ductwork, insulation and fabrics, and the odor can stay long after the fire.

Wells, Pumps and Septic Systems

Rural homes depend on equipment that can fail without warning. A cracked pressure tank or well line can flood a utility room. A septic backup brings Category 3 water that needs full sanitizing, not just a wet vac.

What Happens When You Call

1. Call Dispatch Any Hour

A live dispatcher answers day or night. After a few quick questions, a crew heads east on I-90 toward Columbus and Highway 78.

2. Stop the Water, Then Check Safety

The source gets shut down first, whether it’s a broken line, a dead sump pump or a sewer backup. Then we check the house for electrical and structural hazards.

3. Document the Loss

Every wet wall and floor gets photographed and logged. Your adjuster receives the readings, the photos and our estimate, which keeps the claim moving.

4. Extract and Dry

Truck-mounted extraction pulls out the water. Commercial drying equipment stays in place, and we take moisture readings each day until every wet area tests dry.

5. Sanitize, Restore and Review

Sanitizer goes on every affected surface, followed by mold prevention and odor treatment. Contents get cleaned, and we walk the finished job with you.

For Ranches, Rural Homes and River Properties

Ranch homes, shops and cabins along the river get the same moisture mapping and drying as any house in town. On a well or septic system? Mention it to the dispatcher so the crew arrives ready for it. Our truck-mounted extraction unit and commercial dryers come out to the property.

After a river flood, we treat the water as contaminated, remove soaked materials that can’t be saved, then sanitize and dry the structure. Homeowners policies don’t cover river flooding, so look at flood insurance before spring runoff.

Our Water Damage Restoration Services

Water Damage Restoration in Absarokee, Montana

River water, a cracked pipe and a failed pump all do the same thing: they spread. Moisture climbs drywall, saturates subfloors and pools in crawlspaces, and mold may begin growing within 24–48 hours. Our crew extracts the water, maps hidden moisture with meters and dries the structure until the numbers confirm it.

From your first call through the final walkthrough, we manage every detail of your restoration project: extraction, drying, cleanup, and rebuild, so you can focus on your family.

What Montana Homeowners Say

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Absarokee, Montana

Once a fire is out, the cleanup is a race against soot and moisture. Acidic soot keeps etching finishes, smoke odor clings to drywall, logs and upholstery, and firefighting water gets into whatever the flames missed. We secure the house, clean everything worth saving and treat odor at its source.

Absarokee Restoration FAQs

About two hours. Absarokee sits roughly 125 miles from our Belgrade shop, via I-90 to Columbus and then Highway 78 south. Dispatch runs around the clock, so a crew can leave whenever you call. Bad weather or road conditions can lengthen the trip.

Not under a standard homeowners policy. Rising river water and surface flooding need separate flood insurance. Damage from a burst pipe or broken water heater is another matter, and it’s often covered when it’s sudden and accidental. We document both kinds of loss for your adjuster.

Follow any evacuation order from local authorities first. If there’s time, move valuables and documents up high, and shut off power only if you can do it safely. Once the water recedes and officials say it’s safe, call us to start cleanup.

Yes. Floodwater is treated as contaminated. We extract it, tear out saturated materials that can’t be saved, sanitize, and set dehumidifiers and air movers. Daily moisture readings tell us when the house is dry.

Yes. Sewage is classed as Category 3 water, so everything it reached gets disinfected after extraction, then dried. Carpet pad and other porous materials it soaked usually can’t be saved.

Yes. Soot gets cleaned off walls, ceilings and belongings, and we clean the furnace and ductwork so smoke isn’t blown back through the house. Odor is removed at the source using hydroxyl treatment and thermal fogging.

Never let the thermostat drop below 55°F, even when nobody’s home. For a house that will stand vacant, close the main water valve. Heat or insulate well houses and crawlspaces, and have a neighbor check after a hard freeze.

No two jobs are priced the same. Square footage, drying time and the materials that must come out all affect the bill. A covered claim usually leaves you with just your deductible. Inspections cost nothing, estimates come in writing, and 0% financing is available.

Yes. Our service area also includes Big Timber, Livingston, Bozeman and Belgrade, plus other Southwest Montana towns. Near Fishtail, Nye or Columbus? Call, and the dispatcher will tell you how soon a crew can get there.

Water on the Floor Right Now? Do This First.

  1. Shut the main valve. On a private well, also turn off the pump breaker so it stops pushing water.
  2. Stay out of floodwater. River water can carry sewage and debris and hide electrical hazards.
  3. Document everything. Photograph standing water, damaged rooms and belongings before cleanup starts.
  4. Leave the electrical panel alone if you’d have to stand in water to reach it.
  5. Then call 406-404-9826. Our dispatcher answers day and night and gets a crew started toward Absarokee.
