Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Butte-area homeowners facing basement floods or sewer backups who want a multi-location Montana restoration company that also handles mold remediation, asbestos removal, and fire damage under one operation.
Best for
- Butte homeowners dealing with basement floods, sewer backups, or burst pipes who need a crew on-site within an hour.
- Property owners in southwest Montana who need mold remediation after water damage and want a company with IAQA membership and IICRC training.
- Commercial property managers (schools, churches, offices) needing large-loss restoration with the crew capacity to mobilize dozens of workers quickly.
- Homeowners who need asbestos removal coordinated alongside water or mold damage work, avoiding separate contractors for each.
About this company
Dayspring Restoration of Butte is one of seven Dayspring locations across Montana, operating from 57 Sportsman Way in Butte. Their Google listing categorizes them as a water damage restoration service, and the overwhelming majority of their reviews involve basement floods, sewer backups, and burst pipe emergencies. They also handle mold remediation, fire and smoke damage restoration, asbestos removal, biohazard cleanup, crawl space encapsulation, contents pack-out, and storm damage. They serve both residential and commercial properties.
What stands out is the multi-location footprint. Seven offices across Montana (Butte, Missoula, Bozeman, Helena, Billings, Great Falls, and Hamilton) give them geographic reach that most local restoration companies cannot match. They partner with FLEET Response, a nationwide restoration network, which means they can scale up crew size for large losses. Their website references IICRC training, IAQA (Indoor Air Quality Association) membership, and RIA certification. For mold work, their website states that Montana law requires an independent industrial hygienist to perform testing and set the remediation plan, and Dayspring then executes that plan using containment and HEPA filtration.
The Butte office has a stable field crew that shows up repeatedly in reviews: Cody, Brian, Brock, Mark, Jeff, and Joe appear across dozens of jobs spanning 2024 through mid-2026. That kind of crew continuity is a good sign for consistency. Jennifer handles operations, and Aaron Jones handles estimating. Brock coordinates projects and stays in contact with homeowners throughout the drying process.
The 4.7-star rating across 69 reviews is solid. Two one-star reviews in the last 18 months pull the average below 5.0, and both involve the reconstruction phase rather than the initial emergency cleanup. The cleanup work itself draws near-universal praise.

Review consensus
Cody is the most frequently named employee across the entire review set, praised for fast response, clear communication, and hands-on cleanup work in basement floods and sewer backups. Brian appears almost as often, typically alongside Cody, with reviewers describing them as a reliable pair. Brock handles project coordination and follow-up calls, drawing praise for responsiveness and keeping homeowners informed throughout drying periods that stretch over days or weeks. Mark, Jeff, and Joe round out the field crew with consistent positive mentions. Multiple reviewers specifically noted sub-one-hour response times for emergency calls. Agata Stypula-Hasiec described a mold remediation job handled by Brock, Cody, Jeff, Mark, Brian, and Bryce, followed by a content move-back months later. Donna Jones praised Jennifer (operations manager) and Aaron Jones (estimator) for navigating insurance claim frustrations. Holly Herring named Cody and Brian for inventory and salvage work after a house fire.
2 found across 69 total reviews at 4.7★. Mar Nakwas left a 1-star review (May 2025) that started as praise for the sewage cleanup by Cody, Memphis, Mark, Mat, and Mike, then turned negative during the basement reconstruction. The complaint: the bid grew after a deposit, with additional charges claimed for work the reviewer believed was already included. When the reviewer canceled, Jen deducted money from the refund for pack-out work the reviewer says had already been paid. The owner response acknowledged the frustration, apologized, and offered to review documentation but did not dispute the specific billing claims. Kathleen Scott left a 1-star review (April 2025) describing abandoned basement work on her elderly parents' home with no communication that the company had decided not to return. The owner response said their calls were not returned and that they helped secure a bid from another contractor and assisted with the insurance claim. The two accounts directly conflict on who stopped communicating.
A clear split runs through the reviews: the emergency mitigation side (water extraction, sewage cleanup, fire board-up) draws almost uniformly enthusiastic feedback, while the two negatives both involve the reconstruction and billing phase. This is a common pattern in restoration companies where the fast-response field crew and the longer-term rebuild operation function almost as separate businesses. The owner responds to both negatives with detailed, personalized replies rather than templates, which suggests active reputation management. One reviewer, Brock Babbitt, left a 5-star review with no text and zero other reviews; the name matches a frequently praised project coordinator, which is worth noting as a possible employee review.

For emergency water extraction and sewage cleanup, this crew delivers fast response and clear communication. Ask for Cody and Brian by name. The risk point is the reconstruction phase: get the full scope and cost in writing before any deposit, and confirm what happens to your money if either side cancels. If you need mold remediation, request the name of the independent industrial hygienist they work with and verify that person has no financial relationship with Dayspring.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing referrals and mold remediation. While their website says Montana law requires an independent industrial hygienist for testing, the company still guides you to the tester and then performs the remediation. Get your own independent assessment before committing to remediation work.
- The two one-star reviews both involve the reconstruction and billing phase, not the initial cleanup. One reviewer described a bid that grew after work started, with disputed charges deducted from a refund. The other described abandoned reconstruction work with poor communication about the decision to stop. If you hire them, get the reconstruction scope and price locked down in writing before work begins.
- This Google listing is specifically for the Butte location. Dayspring operates six other offices across Montana. Confirm which crew and office will handle your project, especially if you are between service areas.
- The 4.7-star rating is strong, but 65 of 69 reviews are 5 stars and most of the remaining are 4 stars. The two 1-star reviews both came from situations that started well and soured during reconstruction, suggesting the initial mitigation and the rebuild may operate as functionally different experiences.
