Disclaimer: Montana Restoration Pros is a free service to assist homeowners in connecting with local service providers. All contractors/providers are independent and Montana Restoration Pros does not warrant or guarantee any work performed. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to verify that the hired contractor furnishes the necessary license and insurance required for the work being performed.

Same-day and 24/7 emergency services are subject to provider participation, location, technician availability, and demand. Availability is not guaranteed and may vary by market and appointment capacity.

Content on this site — including guides about frozen pipes, flooding, mold, and insurance — is general information for Montana homeowners, not professional advice. Conditions in your home may differ. When sewage, electricity, structural damage, or health symptoms are involved, treat the situation as urgent: leave unsafe areas, call 911 for life-safety emergencies, and call (888) 217-5329 for restoration dispatch.

Verifying your contractor matters more than anything else on this page. Before authorizing work, ask the provider to show current license and insurance documentation applicable to the job, confirm the full scope in writing (what gets dried in place versus removed, how drying progress is measured, and what repairs follow), and confirm how daily moisture readings will be shared with you and your insurer. Reputable crews welcome these questions. Keep copies of everything, including photographs taken before, during, and after drying.

Insurance and health notes: sudden losses such as burst pipes are often covered under standard homeowners policies, while gradual leaks and most groundwater flooding usually are not — but only your carrier can determine coverage for your claim, so report promptly and keep receipts. Treat sewage-contaminated water (Category 3), water near electrical systems, sagging ceilings, and buckled flooring as hazards: keep children and pets away, avoid wading in, and call for professional handling. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours in damp materials, which is why rapid extraction and verified structural drying come before cosmetic repairs.

Photos and illustrations: any people shown in imagery on this site are actors or models rather than the contractors who will perform your work, as stated in the disclaimer above. Likewise, service descriptions summarize typical approaches — extraction equipment, moisture meters, air movers, dehumidifiers, containment where needed — but the actual plan for your home is set on site after assessment. If any statement on this site appears to conflict with what your provider or insurer tells you about your specific situation, follow their guidance for your home and call (888) 217-5329 with questions about dispatch.
