Water Damage Restoration in Murrysville

Un-Flood-It has dried out homes and shops since 2009. We work out of 214 Ross Street in Tarentum. That is about 15 miles from Murrysville, roughly a 27-minute run down the Orange Belt. We treat Murrysville like home turf, not a long haul. It is one stop among every community we serve across greater Pittsburgh.

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 send you to our sister company, 1-Tom-Plumber. You get the right hand for each part of the job. Fast emergency water removal is where we start on almost every call.

Murrysville sits at the top of the Turtle Creek watershed. Turtle Creek runs 21.1 miles and feeds the Monongahela River. It starts up in Delmont, then flows west right through Export and Murrysville. Feeder runs like Abers Creek, Haymaker Run, and Steels Run thread through town. The whole watershed drains about 147.41 square miles, and most of that land sits in Westmoreland County. When hard rain hits that much ground at once, the low spots and old basements feel it first.

This is not a maybe. On June 6, 2025, flash flooding along Turtle Creek and Steele's Run pushed first responders to evacuate 95 people in the Murrysville and Export area. Crews closed Old William Penn Highway, Pleasant Valley Road, and Hills Church Road. Local police said Turtle Creek had not run that high since 2009. When a creek jumps its banks like that, the water goes straight for the lowest opening in the house. That is usually a basement floor drain, a crawl space, or a walk-out door.

Murrysville spreads across 36.84 square miles of hills, lots, and roofs. The town runs a separate storm sewer system, an MS4, to move all that runoff. Pennsylvania regulates these municipal storm sewers under state stormwater permits. Here is the plain problem. A hard rain drops more water than the ground and the drains can carry. The extra water pools on the low ground and works its way inside.

Downstream, the same creek carries on toward Turtle Creek valley water damage help in Monroeville. In the older Allegheny County river towns, a combined sewer can back up during wet weather too. That is why sewage jobs stay steady across the metro. 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.

Murrysville is easy for us to reach fast. That matters, since every hour lets water soak deeper. We come in and pick up U.S. Route 22, the main line through town, or Interstate 376. From there we reach the streets in Newlonsburg, Sardis, White Valley, and Franklin Estates, and out to the small borough of Export that Murrysville wraps around. Down near the old Haymaker Gas Well or up in Murrysville Heights, the drive is the same short trip for us.

Water spreads by the hour. Mold can start in a day or two. So a short drive is part of keeping your home whole. When the job is bigger than one home, our crews handle commercial and large-loss drying the same way. Just west, we bring water damage cleanup for nearby Plum homes, and it is all the same water damage response from our Tarentum home base.

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, our team cleans it up, and we bring in a third-party hygienist for any testing so the clearance is honest. If the water is dirty, we bring sewage backup cleanup for Murrysville homes and disinfect the safe way.
