Posted on Seri NorbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am located in Dell Rapids, SD. My house is new construction only two years old. Sewer backed up in my fully finished basement. I called DCR and they were able to come that same day. I didn’t realize at the time that they were located in Platte, SD. Sewage damage was so extensive in the living area plus two bedrooms and the bathroom that he had to rip out carpeting, cut out drywall, and rip out everything in the bathroom except for the toilet and shower stall. He then thoroughly sanitized all surfaces. He brought in giant fans to dry everything out. He came back in two days to check the moisture content. DCR really helped me out of a horrible situation and I no longer felt like I was living in a contaminated home. I would highly recommend DCR for any cleaning job. Nothing is too big or too small for DCR and I thank them profusely for completing a job that was not a pleasant one. I also had them come back later to clean out my vents.Posted on Stacey ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

How Mold and Water Damage Cleanup Usually Works
Every job is different, but the process often includes:

Inspection
Find where moisture is coming from and what materials are affected.

Containment
Keep dust and spores from spreading to clean areas when needed.

Removal or Cleaning
Remove damaged materials when required, and clean surfaces the correct way.

Drying and Dehumidifying
Dry structure and contents to reduce the chance of mold returning.

Documentation
Helpful notes and photos, especially when insurance is involved.
DCR communicates the process daily — what will happen, what was done, and why it matters — so you’re not left guessing.

Local Roots in Platte, Mitchell, and Rural South Central SD
DCR serves Platte and Mitchell, plus the small towns and wide-open areas in between. In rural communities—especially farming and ranching areas — damage problems can look a little different. A long driveway, a home on a well or septic system, a shop building with equipment, or a seasonal property can all change how cleanup and restoration needs to be handled.
Because DCR works throughout South Central SD, they understand the pace and the realities of rural life. They know that:
- Access can take planning: Rural properties may have gates, gravel roads, or long distances between services.
- Water issues can spread fast: Leaks in basements, crawlspaces, and utility rooms can go unnoticed longer.
- Septic and sewage situations require care: Sewage cleanup needs the right steps to protect your home and your family.
- Clear communication matters: When you’re juggling family, work, and property needs, you deserve daily updates and a simple plan.
They’re also active in the community through Chamber of Commerce memberships in Winner, Chamberlain-Oacoma, and Platte, which helps them stay connected to the people they serve.
