Water Damage Restoration – Missoula, MT
Water damage is almost inevitable as there are many different things that can cause water damage in a home or building. Rain and flooding can result in water damage, but it can also be caused by things on the property such as leaks, plumbing issues, burst pipes, and sewage backups. The reason water is such a problem in homes and businesses is because it gets absorbed into porous building materials and furnishings and spreads throughout the property. Structural damage and mold growth can result if water damage is not addressed. South Pacific Environmental provides water damage restoration in Missoula, MT to help homes and businesses damaged by water and flooding. Our certified technicians can contain and remove the water and dry and restore the affected areas.
Sewage Cleanup – Missoula, MT
Dealing with water damage in your property is already a serious issue, but the situation is much more dangerous if the water contains sewage. A problem within the sewage system can cause a sewage backup and homes can also be affected by sewage if they are flooded by water that is already contaminated. Sewage is dangerous because it quickly causes permanent damage to the affected materials, and it contains harmful toxins that can spread infection and disease. South Pacific Environmental provides sewage cleanup in Missoula, MT to safely clean and restore affected homes and businesses. Our technicians can completely remove all sewage water and restore the property back to safe conditions.
Fire Damage Restoration – Missoula, MT
Fires within homes and businesses are devastating as they can cause major damage that can disrupt your life and business operations. After a fire is put out, it is important to start the fire damage restoration because damage will continue to occur. Structural damage caused by the fire can worsen and increase the risk of collapse, and the smoke and soot left behind will keep spreading and settling throughout the property. At South Pacific Environmental, we provide fire damage restoration services to help restore and rebuild homes and businesses damaged by a fire in Missoula, MT. Our technicians are equipped to repair structural damage and we use advanced products and methods to clean smoke and soot damage.
Mold Remediation – Missoula, MT
When mold appears within your home or building, it is a threat to your health and your property. Mold generally appears in areas affected by excess water or moisture, and it eats away at the materials it grows on. If mold growth is not quickly removed, it will cause serious damage to the affected surfaces and spread to other areas. There is also a higher risk of negative health effects from exposure. At South Pacific Environmental, we provide mold remediation services in Missoula, MT to remove mold from homes and buildings. Our technicians will find all mold growth using infrared technology and ensure it is removed using advanced remediation methods.
Air Duct Cleaning – Missoula, MT
The HVAC system in homes and buildings is often forgotten about until there is damage to the system or a buildup of dirt and debris in the air ducts. As air passes through the system, airborne debris builds up within the air ducts and on the component parts which can decrease the efficiency of the system and even lead to damage. It is important for air ducts to be cleaned for more efficient operation and cleaner breathing air. At South Pacific Environmental, we provide air duct cleaning services to help homes and businesses in Missoula, MT. Our technicians will remove dust and debris from the air ducts for more efficient heating and cooling and improved indoor air quality.

"I had a sky light leak causing my whole upstairs to flood, of course this was a Sunday but Gary answered the phone and within the hour, was on the job. I highly recommend this company."

"For capable, communicative, and confidence-instilling service, you can do no better than Gary Ashcraft when you have a frozen-pipe home disaster. Gary came out on Christmas day for us, to place fans and dehumidifiers. His prompt mitigation of the flood in our dining room/kitchen prevented mold from developing, and saved our flooring. He kept us apprised of the process and progress, set up the required sub-contractor work, assuaged our worry, and appropriately set our expectations."
