Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Sheridan, Wyoming Area

What Makes Sheridan, Wyoming Different

Sheridan sits at about 3,700 feet on the plains just east of the Bighorn Mountains, where Big Goose and Little Goose creeks join to form Goose Creek. Heavy spring rain on melting mountain snow can push these creeks over their banks, and homes on low ground near them can take water in basements and crawlspaces. Creek floodwater is contaminated, so treat anything it soaked as dirty, not just wet.

Winters are cold and windy, and a sudden drop after a mild spell can freeze pipes in outside walls and garages. Summer storms rolling off the mountains can drop large hail that breaks shingles, skylights and siding, and rain then gets in through the damage. Photograph hail damage the same day and cover openings before the next storm.

Many homes near downtown are older brick or frame houses with basements, and some were built before 1978, so lead paint and older insulation may be present. The air is dry most of the year, which helps drying, but a basement that stays damp after a leak can still grow mold in a few days. Run fans and a dehumidifier until the walls read dry.
