Job completed for Plum Tree Apartments

Completion date: February 25, 2026

Location: Shelby, MT

Why did the customer contact us?

A hot water heater malfunction in Apartment #202 (source unit) led to significant water damage across multiple units (Apt #101, #102, #201, #202) and a common hallway within the Plum Tree Apartments. The water intrusion resulted in elevated moisture content in drywall, subfloors, and carpets, with assumed microbial growth detected in the source unit's closet.

Solutions provided:

Dayspring Restoration responded by performing water extraction, removing affected materials such as baseboards, drywall, insulation, and compromised OSB underlayment. Containment was established for mold remediation in Apt #202. Comprehensive drying equipment, including dehumidifiers, axial fans, and air movers, was strategically placed. Drying holes were drilled into walls and under cabinets to facilitate air circulation. Continuous monitoring using IR cameras and moisture meters ensured that all affected areas reached target dry standards. Equipment was adjusted and removed progressively as drying goals were met, culminating in the complete drying of all materials and removal of equipment.

Our Customer Reviews

“Following a devastating fire, Dayspring’s ability to pull resources from all over the state within hours was incredible. They had over 50 workers onsite within 2-3 hours! We would never have been able to have our students back in school within 2 days were it not for the quick response and the quality of work provided by them. Their quality of work was excellent!

“Over the past eighteen years I have worked with Dayspring on a daily basis. I have worked with them professionally and have had them work for me personally. In both instances I have found them to be professional, courteous, and helpful.
