Water Damage Restoration in Delmont

Un-Flood-It has dried out homes and shops since 2009. We work out of 214 Ross Street in Tarentum. Delmont is about 20 miles away, an easy run out through Murrysville to the Route 22 and Route 66 interchange. We treat it like home turf, not a long haul. It is one stop among every Westmoreland and Allegheny County town we cover.

Owner Brian Marra runs a tight crew. Every tech is IICRC certified. We carry PA HIC #PA080868. We also stay in our lane. We do water cleanup, water extraction, structural drying, sewage cleanup, mold work, crawl space work, and burst pipe cleanup. We do not do fire jobs. We do not do rebuilds. We do not fix the pipe itself. If a pipe needs a fix, we point you to our sister company, 1-Tom-Plumber. You get the right hand for each part of the job.

Delmont starts high, at about 1,260 feet. That is where Turtle Creek begins. From here the creek runs 21.1 miles west, through Export and Murrysville and on down to the Monongahela River. Its watershed drains about 147.41 square miles. Delmont is the very top of that funnel. When hard rain hits the ridge, the runoff starts its long trip right here, and the low ground in town feels it first.

The same creek runs past our water damage cleanup next door in Murrysville and on to our water damage crew downstream in Monroeville before it reaches the river. We work the whole watershed, so we know how fast this water moves.

The valley has a long memory for high water. Turtle Creek flooded hard in 1911, 1942, and 1950. Hurricane Hazel set the flood of record in 1954. Later floods came with Hurricane Agnes, Hurricane Ivan, and a 2009 flash flood that hit nearby Export. Big-creek floods are the rare kind. The everyday kind is closer to home.

Delmont is not on Pittsburgh's old combined sewers. It runs its own separate storm sewer, called an MS4, under a state permit. Those pipes are built to move rain off your street, not to mix it with sewage. The borough takes this seriously. Delmont started a monthly stormwater fee in 2025 to fund projects that slow runoff and cut the mud washing into the creek. Even so, a hard rain can drop more water than the ground and the drains can move. That water finds the lowest opening it can. Usually that is a basement floor drain or a crawl space.

Your sanitary sewage runs on a different system, handled by the Franklin Township Municipal Sanitary Authority. When the ground is soaked and lines run full, dirty water can push back into a basement through the lowest drain. That is when you want sewage backup cleanup done the safe way. Winter brings its own trouble. The storm on January 24 and 25, 2026 froze and split pipes all over the region. Burst-pipe calls kept us busy for weeks after.

Delmont is easy for us to reach fast, and fast matters. Every hour lets water soak deeper into wood, drywall, and subfloor. We come out Route 22 and drop into town at the Route 66 cloverleaf. From there we reach the streets off the old New Salem grid and the newer homes on the edge of the borough. We run the same play just west for water damage help over in Plum Borough, so a Delmont call is routine for our crew.

Here is what happens once we arrive. First we find the water, including the water you cannot see inside walls and under floors. We use moisture meters to find it. Then we pull it out with pumps and truck-mounted gear. Then we set air movers and dehumidifiers. We dry the structure back to its normal moisture reading. Dry is a number, not a feeling. So we measure instead of guess. We do not pack up until the numbers say the house is dry.

You will know what we know, the whole way through. We log the loss with photos and readings. We bill your insurance company direct, so you are not fronting the cost while a claim crawls along. If insurance falls short, we offer financing through Foundation Finance. If we find mold, we clean it up and bring in a third-party hygienist for any testing, so the clearance is honest.
