Family-Owned Restoration for McAllister Lake Homes and Cabins

Treasure State Restoration brings family-owned, IICRC-certified restoration to McAllister from our shop in Belgrade. Our work area covers ZIP code 59740, from homes along U.S. 287 and Meadow Creek Road to the places off North Ennis Lake Road. We handle water damage from frozen lines and failed well equipment. Our crews also do insulation removal and mold remediation, along with duct cleaning and fire and smoke cleanup. Full-time residents, weekend owners and rental hosts can reach us around the clock.

Our people bring more than 30 years in restoration, and the company has restored over 1,000 Montana homes. Insurers get our bill directly, which usually leaves the owner paying only the deductible. The written estimate always comes before the work.

What Causes the Most Damage in McAllister Homes

McAllister sits at about 4,900 feet along the west side of Ennis Lake, a reservoir on the Madison River. Lake homes and cabins here face a handful of recurring problems.

Frozen Pipes in Closed-Up Cabins

The weather station in Ennis, about 6 miles south, has recorded 43 below zero. A power outage in an empty lake home can let lines freeze, and a split pipe keeps flowing until someone finds it.

Well Lines and Septic Backups

The county’s 2023 housing needs assessment lists McAllister as served by residential wells and septic. A split well line, a leaking pressure tank fitting or sewage backing up from the septic system can soak a basement or crawlspace.

Wildfire Smoke Near Ennis Lake

In August 2025, the lightning-caused McAllister Fire burned about 3,500 acres between Ennis Lake and Norris. Residents along part of U.S. 287 were put on evacuation warning. Smoke and ash work into ducts, insulation and soft furnishings.

Summer Guests and Hidden Leaks

Madison County’s population grows by about 3,000 people each summer, according to Cushing Terrell data reported by The Madisonian. With guests coming and going, a running toilet or cracked washer hose can leak for days unreported.

Ice Dams and Spring Melt

Snow on cabin roofs melts on sunny days and refreezes at the eaves. The trapped water works under roofing and drips into walls and ceilings, often where no one sees it until spring.

What Happens When You Call

1. Call Any Hour

A dispatcher takes down what happened, day or night. A crew then heads out from Belgrade over MT 84 toward Ennis Lake.

2. We Shut Off the Source

Stopping the leak comes first, which may mean shutting off the well pump. Next, we make sure wet wiring or a sagging ceiling won’t hurt anyone.

3. We Record the Damage

We take moisture readings room by room and photograph the damage. Your adjuster gets those records with our written estimate.

4. We Pump, Extract and Dry

We extract standing water with truck-mounted equipment. Air movers and dehumidifiers then run, and we check them every day until the wood and drywall read dry.

5. We Clean Up and Hand It Back

Sanitizing, odor removal, mold prevention and contents cleaning finish the job. Last, you or whoever minds the cabin walks the finished job with us.

For Lake Homes and Seasonal Cabins on Ennis Lake

If your place near the lake sits empty for part of the year, a slow leak has plenty of time to spread. We coordinate access with your caretaker, a neighbor or your property manager. Expect pictures and meter readings from us while the work is underway.

Homes here draw from private wells and drain to septic, so stopping the water can mean switching off the well pump first. We take care of that, then get the drying started.

Our Water Damage Restoration Services

Water Damage Restoration in McAllister, Montana

A small leak in a lake cabin rarely stays small. Water slides under flooring, climbs drywall and soaks into the subfloor and the crawlspace below. Mold can take hold within 24–48 hours, which makes the first day count. We extract the water quickly, then dry the framing and subfloor until our meters say they’re dry.

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.

Our Mold Remediation Services

Mold Remediation in McAllister, Montana

Mold needs moisture, and a leak in a closed-up cabin can supply it for weeks. Clues include an earthy odor when you walk in, black flecks on drywall and paint that bubbles or peels. Our IAQA-certified techs find where the moisture is coming from, seal off the affected rooms and take out the growth. Then everything gets dried so mold has nothing to come back to.

McAllister Restoration FAQs

McAllister is about 48 miles from our Belgrade shop, close to an hour’s drive through Four Corners and Norris. We dispatch 24/7, but snow and ice on those roads can add time.

It depends on your policy. Many standard policies exclude sewer and septic backups unless you’ve added a water backup endorsement. Wear and tear on the septic system itself usually isn’t covered. Read your declarations page or call your agent. Whatever the answer, we’ll photograph the damage and log moisture readings for the claim.

Leave the furnace set to at least 55°F. For a long absence, shut off the well pump and main valve, and empty the water lines. Ask a neighbor to check the place after any deep freeze or outage.

Most jobs take 3–5 days of drying. Crawlspaces and thick timbers can take longer. We read moisture levels every day and remove the equipment once the wood and drywall test dry.

No two losses cost the same. Price depends on the volume of water, which materials it reached and how many days it sat. Covered claims usually leave you paying only the deductible. We inspect free of charge, write up the estimate first and offer 0% financing.

Yes. Let us know who can let us in, whether that’s a caretaker, a neighbor or a property manager. We’ll handle access, text or email photos and readings as the job progresses, and deal directly with your adjuster.

Yes. Ash and fine soot get cleaned off walls, windows and contents first. After that, the ductwork and furnace are cleaned, and thermal fogging or hydroxyl treatment takes care of the lingering smell.

Yes, and the inspection is free. Our IAQA-certified techs check for moisture and mold and explain what they find. If work is needed, the estimate comes in writing.

Yes. Our crews also work in Ennis, Three Forks, Four Corners, Bozeman, Belgrade, Gallatin Gateway and communities across Southwest Montana.

Water on the Floor Right Now? Do This First.

  1. Shut it off. Turn the main valve clockwise. Homes with a well should also flip off the pump breaker.
  2. Keep clear of wiring. If reaching the breaker panel means stepping in water, leave it alone.
  3. Get photos first. Shoot every wet room before cleanup starts, for your adjuster.
  4. Away from the lake? A neighbor or caretaker can shut the valve or pump for you.
  5. Call 406-404-9826. Tell dispatch you’re in McAllister so a crew can head your way.
