Family-Owned Restoration for Big Timber Homes and Ranches

Treasure State Restoration is an IICRC-certified, family-owned restoration company working out of Belgrade. We cover Big Timber (59011) and the ranch country around it in Sweet Grass County. That includes homes near downtown’s McLeod Street, Hatchery Hill, the Sweet Grass Addition and houses along the Boulder and Yellowstone rivers. Call us for water damage, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleanup, duct cleaning and insulation removal at homes, ranch houses and businesses, any time.

This is work we’ve done for more than 30 years, across more than 1,000 Montana homes. Your insurance company gets billed directly, so most homeowners only cover their deductible. Nothing starts until you have the estimate in writing.

What Causes the Most Damage in Big Timber Homes

Big Timber is bordered by the Yellowstone and Boulder rivers and averages about 55 inches of snow a year. Here’s what tends to damage homes and ranch houses here most, and what to watch for.

Flooding on the Boulder and Yellowstone

In June 2022, heavy rain and snowmelt flooded rivers across the region. Sweet Grass County had to repair flood-damaged roads and bridges, including roads up the Main Boulder. Floodwater carries silt and bacteria, so flooded rooms need sanitizing as well as drying.

Wind Damage to Roofs and Trees

Winter chinooks and windy springs are normal here. In one windstorm, the National Weather Service recorded a 97 mph gust at Big Timber’s airport. The Livingston Enterprise reported crushed cars, toppled trees and roofs ripped askew. Once a roof opens up, rain and snow follow.

Frozen Pipes and Well Lines

Big Timber’s record low is -47°F, and in mid-January 2024 the wind chill reached -59°F. Pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces and well houses freeze first. When a split line thaws, it can soak floors and walls before anyone notices.

Older Homes, Older Plumbing

About 3 in 10 Big Timber homes were built before 1940, according to Census estimates. Original supply lines, old drains and patched plumbing tend to leak slowly behind walls and under floors. That water can sit for weeks before a stain or smell gives it away.

Grass Fires, House Fires and Smoke

In 1908, a fire destroyed most of the businesses along McLeod Street. Dry grass and strong wind can still push a fire fast. City code treats weeds and grass over eight inches tall as a fire hazard after July 1. Smoke from any fire settles into ductwork, insulation and furniture.

What Happens When You Call

1. Call Anytime, Talk to a Person

A dispatcher answers day or night, gets the address and details, and sends a crew east on I-90 to Big Timber.

2. We Shut Down the Source

We stop the water, whether the source is a split line, a running well pump or a backed-up septic line. Then we check for electrical and structural dangers.

3. Proof for Your Insurance Claim

We photograph the damage, log moisture readings and write up the estimate, then send copies to you and your adjuster.

4. Extraction and Drying

Truck-mounted units pull out the water. Then dehumidifiers and air movers run until our daily readings show the floors, walls and framing are dry.

5. Cleanup and Final Walkthrough

We sanitize affected areas, apply mold prevention, deodorize and clean contents. Then we walk the house with you so you can see the finished work.

Ranches and Rural Homes on Wells and Septic

Farming and ranching are still the backbone of the Big Timber area. Homes outside town usually run on private wells and septic systems. A frozen well line, a failed pressure tank or a septic backup can soak a house before anyone finds it.

We bring truck-mounted extraction and commercial drying equipment out to rural properties. We sanitize after septic backups and send your adjuster photos and moisture logs straight from the site.

Our Water Damage Restoration Services

Water Damage Restoration in Big Timber, Montana

A split pipe, a failed water heater or a river over its banks can put a lot of water where it doesn’t belong. It soaks subfloors, climbs drywall and pools in basements and crawlspaces. Mold can begin growing within a couple of days. We remove standing water fast, track hidden moisture with meters, and keep drying until the readings say the job is done.

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 Are Saying

Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services

Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration in Big Timber, Montana

Fire damage keeps spreading after the flames are out. Acidic soot discolors metal, glass and finishes. Smoke odor soaks into wood and fabric, and water from the hoses starts its own damage. Out here, wind can also carry grass fire smoke into a house from miles away. We board up and secure the house, salvage and clean what we can, and treat odor where it starts.

Big Timber Restoration FAQs

Big Timber is about 70 miles east of our Belgrade shop, a little over an hour on I-90 over Bozeman Pass. We dispatch 24/7. Once you call, a crew loads up and heads east. High winds, snow and interstate closures can add time.

Often, if the pipe broke suddenly and you kept the house heated. Damage from a slow leak or from flooding usually isn’t covered by a standard homeowners policy. If the house sits empty for stretches, read the vacancy section of your policy. We’ll photograph and log everything your adjuster needs.

Yes. Septic and sewage backups are Category 3 water, so we remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect the area, and dry the structure. Have the septic system pumped or repaired before you use the plumbing again.

Take photos, keep clear of sagging ceilings and move belongings away from leaks. Then call us. We dry out wet ceilings, walls and insulation and document the damage for your insurance claim.

Yes. Older houses and brick buildings often hide moisture in plaster, wood floors and old plumbing. We locate it with moisture meters, dry it carefully and photograph everything for your records and your insurer.

Keep the thermostat at 55°F or above and insulate the well house and any exposed lines. For a long absence, close the main water valve and drain the lines. Have a neighbor stop by when the temperature plunges or the power goes out.

Usually three to five days. Thick hardwood, plaster or water that sat for a while can stretch that out. We take readings daily and remove equipment only when the numbers confirm everything is dry.

There’s no flat price. Cost depends on how much water there is, what got wet and how long it sat. If the claim is covered, most homeowners owe only the deductible. The inspection is free, the estimate comes in writing first, and 0% financing is available.

Yes. Beyond town, we cover ranches and rural homes across Sweet Grass County. We also serve Livingston, Bozeman, Belgrade and other Southwest Montana communities.

Water on the Floor Right Now? Do This First.

  1. Stop the water. Close the main shutoff, or turn off the well pump at its breaker if you’re on a well.
  2. Mind the power. Keep away from wet outlets and cords, and don’t wade in to reach the electrical panel.
  3. Document it. Take photos and video of the damage before you clean or move anything.
  4. Septic backing up? Stop using sinks, toilets and the washer until the system is checked.
  5. Call 406-404-9826 any time. A real person will answer and get a crew moving.
