About this Service
Bunker maintenance for Billings properties focuses on the Yellowstone Valley soils and suburban or rural acreage typical to the area. The service suits homeowners with basements converted to shelters and new excavations where clay and silt soils affect drainage. The angle is preventative waterproofing and routine system tests tailored to Billings’ valley terrain.
Inspections verify HEPA H13 filtration flow and activated carbon performance, and measure differential pressure across housings. Power diagnostics include 48 V battery load tests and generator run cycles under typical bunker loads. Structural checks emphasize drainage: perimeter drain inspection, sump pump cycling, and camera checks of shoring where clay and silt can pond water against foundation walls. Thermal imaging identifies moisture intrusion behind sheathing and concrete.
Practical qualifiers: clay-rich sites often need more frequent sump and perimeter drain maintenance, so expect a six- to twelve-month check on drainage components in addition to the annual system check. Generator run tests require fuel on site. Major exterior work should be scheduled in spring or fall when ground conditions allow safer excavation.
