Water, Fire & Mold Damage Restoration in Livingston, Montana

Our Belgrade shop is about 35 miles away, roughly 40 minutes over Bozeman Pass on I-90. We dispatch 24/7, and a crew can leave as soon as you call. Wind, snow or a closure on the pass can add time.

Usually not. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage from a rising river. That coverage comes from a separate flood policy. Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe, is often covered. Either way, we document the damage with photos and moisture readings for your adjuster.

Start before spring runoff. Test your sump pump, move valuables off basement floors, and learn where your water and power shutoffs are. If you want flood insurance, buy it early, since new policies often have a waiting period. If Park County orders an evacuation, leave.

Yes. Plaster walls, original wood floors and brick need a different drying approach than newer drywall. We find the moisture with meters, save original materials where we can, and photograph everything before anything is removed.

Set the thermostat no lower than 55°F, even when you’re away. Open the cabinets under sinks on outside walls and seal drafts into the crawlspace, since wind drives cold air into those spaces. If the house will sit empty, turn off the water at the main and have someone check on it.

Most take three to five days. Water that soaked into old foundations, framing or plaster can take longer. We check moisture readings every day and keep the dehumidifiers and air movers running until the numbers say it’s dry.

It depends on the job: how much water there was, what it soaked and how long it sat. With a covered claim, most homeowners pay just their deductible. The inspection is free, you get the estimate in writing before we start, and 0% financing can cover your deductible or anything insurance doesn’t.

Yes. We work with landlords, property managers and HOAs. If water or smoke reaches several units or storefronts, we dry and document each one separately. That gives every owner and insurer a clear record.

Yes. We also work in the Paradise Valley and the Shields Valley, in Big Timber, Bozeman and Belgrade, and across much of Southwest Montana.
