What Causes the Most Damage in Butte Homes

Butte sits more than a mile high on the Continental Divide and has recorded temperatures as low as 52 below zero. Its housing is also among the oldest in Montana, and that shapes the damage we see most.

Frozen and Burst Pipes

Butte averages about 57 inches of snow a year, and a cold snap can keep temperatures below zero for days. Pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces and unheated porches freeze first. The leak often shows up when the ice thaws and the split pipe starts to run.

Century-Old Homes and Foundations

More than a third of the homes in Silver Bow County were built before 1940, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Aging supply lines, old drains and stone or brick foundations can let water in slowly, so damage often hides behind plaster or under floors.

Leaks in Historic Uptown Buildings

Uptown Butte sits inside one of the largest National Historic Landmark districts in the country, with nearly 6,000 contributing properties. In older multi-story buildings, one failed pipe can send water through several floors and units before anyone sees it.

Basement Water and Spring Runoff

Snowmelt, spring storms and sewer backups push water into basements all over town. In June 2017, heavy rain put Butte-Silver Bow under a flood advisory for Blacktail Creek, which runs through the center of Butte.

Wildfire Smoke and House Fires

In July 2024, the Blacktail Canyon Fire southeast of Butte put homes along Blacktail Canyon Road and Homestake Road under an evacuation warning. Smoke from wildfires, chimney fires and kitchen fires settles into ductwork, insulation and furniture.

What Happens When You Call

1. A Real Person Picks Up

Call any hour and a dispatcher answers, not a recording. We get the details, tell you what to do next, and send a crew west on I-90 toward Butte.

2. We Stop the Source and Check for Hazards

Our first job on site is stopping the water. Then we check for hazards, from live wiring near water to sagging ceilings, which matters in older houses and Uptown buildings.

3. We Measure and Document

Moisture meters show how far the water traveled into walls, floors and foundations. You and your adjuster get photos, moisture logs and a written estimate.

4. We Extract and Dry

We pull out standing water with truck-mounted extraction, then set commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. Moisture readings are logged daily until every material is dry.

5. We Clean, Restore and Walk Through

We sanitize the affected areas, treat them to help prevent mold, remove odors and clean your belongings. A final walkthrough with you closes out the job.

For Historic Homes, Rentals and Uptown Buildings

Many Butte homes date to the mining boom, and most houses in Centerville were built before 1900. Plaster walls, original wood floors and masonry foundations hold water differently than newer materials. We map the moisture with meters, dry what can be saved, and document each step for your insurance company.

Landlords and property managers get one contact, written records for every unit, and updates as the work moves along.

Our Water Damage Restoration Services

Water Damage Restoration in Butte, Montana

Water travels in an old house. It runs along joists, soaks into plaster and lath, and collects in the basement. Left for a day or two, wet wood and drywall can start to grow mold. We get the water out fast, then dry the framing, subfloors and wall cavities where hidden moisture causes trouble later.

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.

Butte Restoration FAQs

Our shop in Belgrade is about 78 miles from Butte, roughly an hour and 15 minutes on I-90. Dispatch runs 24/7, and a crew can be on the road as soon as you call. Snow and ice on Homestake Pass can add time in winter.

Often, yes, if the break was sudden and accidental. Damage from a slow leak or long-term wear is often excluded, and flood damage needs a separate flood policy. We document everything and work with your adjuster either way.

Keep the heat at 55°F or warmer, day and night, including when you travel. On bitter nights, open the cabinets under sinks and leave a faucet dripping. If the house will sit empty, shut the main valve and drain the lines.

Yes. Masonry soaks up water and gives it back slowly, so we monitor the walls and floor with moisture meters every day. The dehumidifiers stay until the readings show the basement is dry, and then we treat the area to help prevent mold.

Yes. We work with landlords and property managers, dry every affected unit, and provide written documentation for each one. That helps when several tenants or insurance policies are involved.

Three to five days is typical once commercial dehumidifiers and air movers are running. Thick plaster, heavy framing and masonry in older homes can take longer. We check moisture daily and only remove equipment when the readings confirm the materials are dry.

There’s no flat price. Cost depends on the amount of water, how long it was there and which materials it reached. If your policy covers the loss, you’ll usually owe just the deductible. We inspect for free, write the estimate before any work begins, and offer 0% financing for deductibles and uncovered costs.

Yes. We clean soot from walls and belongings, clean the furnace and ductwork, and remove smoke odor with thermal fogging and hydroxyl treatment. We handle everything from a small kitchen fire to wildfire smoke that drifted in through the vents.

Yes. We also serve Walkerville, Whitehall, Three Forks, Helena and much of Southwest Montana from our shop in Belgrade.

Water on the Floor Right Now? Do This First.

  1. Close the main valve. In older Butte houses it’s usually in the basement or crawlspace where the water line comes in.
  2. Stay clear of wet wiring. Shut off power to flooded rooms only if the panel is dry and safe to reach.
  3. Take pictures of the damage before you move anything. Your adjuster will want to see them.
  4. Renting? Let your landlord or property manager know right away, then give us a call.
  5. Call 406-404-9826. Someone answers around the clock and gets a crew moving.
