When water gets into your home, mold follows. We get both out, and we prove it’s gone.
Wood River Maintenance provides 24-hour emergency water damage restoration in Ketchum, Idaho. We extract standing water, dry the structure to a measured standard and document every reading for your insurer. Our typical response into Ketchum is about 90 minutes from our base in Hailey, and mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so the call should not wait until morning.
Ketchum sits at about 5,850 feet with serious snow load, and the north-facing roofs above Warm Springs and West Ketchum hold it the longest. Snow melts off the warm part of the roof, refreezes at the cold eave, and the backed-up water goes under the shingles and down inside the wall. The stain shows up on a ceiling two rooms away, usually weeks after the ice was there.
A great deal of Ketchum's housing near River Run and Warm Springs is attached — condos and townhomes sharing walls, floors and plumbing stacks. A single failed supply line on an upper floor does not stay in one unit. It runs down through the stack, and by the time anyone notices, three owners have a loss and an HOA has a problem. We work these jobs with the association and document unit by unit.
Rental units run hard through ski season and then sit between bookings. A line that fails the day after a guest checks out can run until the next cleaner walks in. If you manage rentals in Ketchum, our number belongs in the unit binder and with your cleaning crew.
The Big Wood runs right through town. When the snowpack goes out and the ground underneath is still frozen, water moves sideways instead of down, and the lower-lying properties along the river see it in crawl spaces and daylight basements first.
We are based in Hailey, which puts Ketchum about 20 minutes up Highway 75 in normal conditions and about 90 minutes door to door once dispatch, loading and winter driving are counted. That is the number we promise, and it holds at 2am in February.
Most Ketchum losses we respond to are in homes nobody is standing in. We take access from a caretaker, property manager, neighbor, HOA or alarm company, and we send photographs and moisture readings as we go, so an owner in Seattle or San Francisco can see what is happening in real time.
For attached buildings we document each affected unit separately, which is what both the association and the individual carriers need when more than one policy is involved.
We also cover Sun Valley and the rest of the valley. All restoration services in Ketchum.
Hayden does quality work, with any water damage, smoke damage & fire damage. He helped us kill all the mold and smoke smell in the house we renovated. Highly recommend using Wood River Maintenance for all of your emergency needs.

I couldn't be happier with the work Wood River Maintenance did on my office. As a first-time homeowner tackling my first real project, I wasn't sure what to expect — but Hayden and his team made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. From the beginning, Hayden was thorough, communicative, and walked me through every step of the process. When an unexpected PVC pipe was uncovered from the previous owner mid-project, he problem-solved on the spot and kept me informed and confident the entire way through. That kind of transparency and professionalism is hard to find. The finished work speaks for itself — the wall and baseboard were patched and blended so perfectly with the original texture that you would never know anything had been touched. The attention to detail was impressive. Wood River Maintenance will absolutely be my first call for every project and facelift going forward, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Hayden and team — you exceeded every expectation!

Although there were some bumps in the road ( delay of shipment of materials, which was beyond his control) Hayden was a very good communicator throughout my repairs as was he true to his word. He also made sure that everything was quality work and was to my satisfaction. In addition, he was personable yet professional.

About 90 minutes door to door, day or night, from our base in Hailey. That includes dispatch and loading, and it holds in winter conditions.
We do, and we document it unit by unit. In attached buildings in Ketchum a single failed line often affects several units and more than one insurance policy, so each affected space gets its own photographs, moisture readings and scope. We work directly with the association and with each carrier.
Yes. We take access from a caretaker, property manager, neighbor, HOA or alarm company with your permission, and we send photographs and moisture readings as we work so you can see the situation without flying in.
Very often, yes. Ice dam water enters at the eave and travels inside the wall or ceiling cavity before it surfaces, so the stain appears well away from the ice and weeks after it formed. We find the entry path and check whether the cavity is still wet.
Yes, including buildings near River Run and Warm Springs with shared plumbing stacks. We coordinate with the HOA and document each affected unit separately.
Sudden and accidental losses such as a burst supply line are typically covered. Gradual leaks usually are not. We document the job the way carriers require, which is usually what decides whether the claim is paid in full.
We serve Sun Valley, Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue — our Wood River Valley towns. Ketchum coverage includes Warm Springs, West Ketchum, East Ketchum, the downtown core, River Run and everything in the 83340 zip code.
