Water Damage Restoration Services in Helena

In Montana, it can be hard to find help. Even in the capital of Helena, there’s a spirit of independence in this state that leads directly to a DIY attitude. While this attitude has been foundational in taming the rough wilderness of Montana into a livable place, it’s not very effective when it comes time to repair water damage.

Thankfully, there are professionals like Rainbow Restoration® of Helena who specialize in water damage restoration services. Our goal is to restore properties after natural disasters, plumbing issues, roof leaks, defective appliances, or other factors have compromised them.

This article highlights the importance of professional water damage restoration and explains the process of repairing a damaged property.

  • Water damage to your property can go from bad to worse fast. Acting quickly can prevent further issues and potential further damages. Rainbow Restoration offers guidance and assistance at each stage of this process. Having a reliable partner during restoration efforts is particularly important in a place like Helena, where climate conditions like heavy rain and intense snowstorms increase the risk of water damage.

    Once you contact Rainbow Restoration, our team of specialists will evaluate and assess the damage using moisture detection devices like thermal imaging cameras. We also assess contamination levels to develop an action plan for restoration.

  • We use industrial-grade vacuums and pumps to remove water from your property. This step of restoration is particularly crucial during cold months and during the summer. The humid weather of the summers can foster mold growth, while frigid winter weather can freeze the moisture in your walls and floor, causing significant damage.

    To prevent mold growth, we use dehumidifiers and industrial-grade dryers to eliminate excess moisture. This also helps maintain the structural integrity of your property.

  • Finally, we clean up any remaining mold using deep cleaning techniques. If there are any items that we deem irreparable, we will dispose of them in a safe, environmentally friendly manner.

    Significant Local Event: Each year in Helena, Montana hosts the Montana State Fair which showcases local culture, agriculture and entertainment. Rainbow Restoration's restoration services ensure that its buildings and facilities will be prepared for this significant local event so both residents and visitors alike can fully experience its festivities.

FAQs About Water Damage Restoration in Helena

    1. Safety first: Before entering your property, ensure that it is safe. Turn off the electricity and gas supply and check for any potential hazards such as structural damage or mold growth.
    2. Document the damage: Take photos and videos of the affected areas for insurance purposes. This will help you during the claims process and provide evidence of the extent of the damage.
    3. Remove standing water: Use a submersible pump or a wet/dry vacuum to remove any standing water. Do this quickly to prevent mold growth.
    4. Dry out the affected areas: Use fans, dehumidifiers, and open windows to promote airflow and aid in the drying process. Consider renting industrial-grade equipment if necessary.
    5. Salvage what you can: Inspect damaged items and determine what can be salvaged. Porous materials usually need to be discarded, while hard surfaces can be saved.
    6. Clean and disinfect: Use antibacterial soaps and mild detergents to remove any traces of mold. Be sure to wear a mask and gloves when working near mold.
    7. Repair structural damage: Engage a professional contractor to assess and repair any structural damage caused by the water.
    8. Address mold growth: If mold is present, hire a certified mold remediation specialist to safely eliminate it.
    9. Test for hidden damage: Water can seep into hidden spaces such as wall cavities or underflooring. Consider hiring a professional to conduct moisture testing and thermal imaging to identify any hidden damage.
    10. Rebuild and restore: Once the property is completely dry and all repairs have been made, you can begin the process of rebuilding and restoring your space. This may involve painting, re-flooring, and replacing damaged fixtures.

    By following these steps, you can effectively restore your property after water damage.
