Water Damage Restoration in Boise: what's different here

Boise's most common water emergencies are winter burst pipes, flooded basements in the North End and Bench, and leaks in crawl spaces that soak insulation and subfloors before showing inside. Ice dams in snowy winters can also push water through ceilings.

Drying basements and crawl spaces takes different equipment than drying a slab home: dehumidifiers and air movers in confined spaces, plus removing wet insulation.
