Our Water & Sewage Damage Repair Services
A split pipe can soak a floor in minutes, so the clock starts the moment you see water. Sewage coming up through a floor drain needs action even faster. Allied 24/7 Restoration provides water damage restoration and sewage cleanup for homes and businesses across Kalispell and the Flathead Valley.
We answer (406) 756-4357 around the clock. For ongoing emergencies in the Kalispell area, we can often send a technician on site within 60 minutes. They will help contain the damage and will also find out why the water got in, so you’re not dealing with the same leak again.
How We Handle Water and Sewage Damage
Water Damage Mitigation Comes First
Water damage mitigation is the first-response stage: it keeps a wet room from turning into a wet house. Restoration is the repair work that follows. Both are equally important, and need to happen in the right order.
Our water removal services start with extraction. Our crew pumps out standing water and pulls trapped water from carpet and pad. Next, our crew places industrial dehumidifiers and air movers around the affected rooms to fully dry them up.
Water wicks up drywall and soaks into framing and subfloors, well past what you can see. We periodically check moisture levels with moisture meters and keep drying until materials return to normal. Repairs start only after that.
Sewage Cleanup Is a Different Job
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses, so it is treated as the most contaminated type of water damage. The crew dealing with it must wear appropriate protective gear to limit liability. Our experienced crew does the same and seals off the affected area from the rest of the building.
Porous materials that sewage touched, like drywall, carpet and insulation, usually can’t be saved and have to be removed. Hard surfaces such as concrete and framing can be cleaned instead. We disinfect every affected surface before drying and repair begin.
Non-sewage water that comes in from outside, such as snowmelt seeping through a foundation, is a flood job. Good news is you don’t need a separate flood cleanup company for that, because the same Allied crew handles that work too.
Repairs and Commercial Work
Once everything is dry and clean, we replace the drywall, flooring and insulation that came out. The team that removed the water also does the rebuild, so there is no handoff to another contractor.
Commercial water damage repair follows the same steps. For businesses, we plan the work in phases so undamaged areas can stay open where it’s safe.

How to Spot Water Damage and Protect Your Property
Not every leak announces itself. Watch for these signs:
- Stains or sagging on ceilings below bathrooms or laundry rooms
- Warped, soft or cupping floors
- Bubbling paint or loose baseboards
- A persistent musty smell
- Gurgling drains or water rising in a floor drain, which often points to a sewer line problem
In the Flathead Valley, frozen pipes cause many winter leaks. A pipe can split inside a cold exterior wall and only start leaking once it thaws.
While you wait for us:
- Close the main water valve, as long as you can reach it without wading through water.
- Turn off power to wet areas.
- Move valuables away from the water.
- Photograph the damage for your insurance claim.
- Stay out of any area with sewage.
Mitigation speed matters a lot as mold can start growing on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. Standing sewage keeps soaking into porous materials, which means more has to be removed later.

Will Insurance Cover Water or Sewage Damage?
It depends on where the water came from. Most homeowner policies cover sudden, accidental damage, such as a burst pipe situation or a water heater leak. Damage from a slow leak that went unnoticed for months is usually excluded.
Sewage backups are often covered only if your policy includes sewer backup coverage, which is usually an add-on. Water entering from outside, such as rising groundwater, typically needs a separate flood policy.
We work with most insurers, including Travelers, AAA, Farmers and Progressive. Our team documents the damage with photos and moisture readings, then provides detailed reports for your claim.
Why Allied 24/7 Restoration Doesn’t Rush the Rebuild
The costliest mistake after water damage is closing up walls before they are truly dry. Drywall can feel dry to the touch while the stud behind it is still holding water. Seal that moisture in, and you’re paying for mold removal a few months later.
Our crew keeps taking moisture meter readings until the framing and subfloor reach normal levels. New drywall goes up only after that. Because the same team handles both the drying and the rebuild, nobody has a reason to hurry the job along to the next contractor.
Tim checks in with you as the drying progresses, so you’re never left wondering why the equipment is still humming in the corner. Customers dealing with water intrusion describe him as calm and good at explaining what happens next. That patience comes from more than 1,500 local jobs, where waiting an extra day for dry readings has saved far more than it cost.
Water and Sewage Damage FAQs
A typical water damage job needs 3 to 5 days of structural drying before repairs can start. Sewage contamination or a arger mess can take longer. After the inspection, you'll get a plan and an estimated completion date.
Sometimes, if the water was clean and you were able to start the drying quickly. Drywall that got swollen needs replacing, and carpet pad often does too. Anything soaked by sewage is removed.
It depends on where the sewage went. If it stayed in a basement or one room, you can often stay while keeping people and pets out of that area. If it reached living spaces or the HVAC system, you are better off staying elsewhere until cleanup is done.
