Great Falls properties are large, frequently on well and septic, and often carry high value finishes and contents. Two consequences follow. Water losses can affect a very large floor area, which raises the drying load and the equipment count considerably. And the contents decision, particularly around solid wood furniture, rugs, artwork and stored items in lower levels, has to be made early because the salvage windows are short.
Well systems introduce a failure mode that municipal properties do not have. A pressure tank failure, a pump running on with a stuck switch, or a burst line between the well head and the house can deliver a large volume of water without anyone touching a fixture. On a property where the mechanical room is in a basement or an outbuilding, that can run for hours.
