Emergency Response
Slides, washouts, fallen trees, road blockages, and storm damage. We load up and dispatch from 100 Mile House — same-day response across the Cariboo. Call any time, day or night.
When You Need Us Fast
You call. We load the right machine and we're on the road. Self-contained mobilization means no waiting on a third-party transport company, no coordination delays. For emergencies in the 100 Mile House area, we can have equipment on site within the hour.
We handle the immediate problem first — clear the road, stabilize the slide, remove the tree, stop the water. Then we assess what needs to happen next. Some emergencies are a four-hour fix. Others need follow-up work over the next few days. Either way, we're already there with the equipment to do it.
We've responded to access road washouts, slides, culvert failures, fallen trees blocking access, and storm damage across the Cariboo. When the ground moves or the water rises, the people who call first get help first.
After the emergency is handled, we can follow up with permanent repairs — rebuild the washed-out section, replace the failed culvert, regrade the road, stabilize the slope. One contractor from emergency response through to permanent fix.

Common Emergency Calls
Access Road Slides
Material blocking your access needs to be cleared and the slope stabilized. We remove debris, restore access, and address the slide source.
Site Washouts
When water takes the access road, the yard, or the drainage. We restore access, rebuild the washed-out section, and fix the drainage.
Fallen Trees
Trees across access roads and power line corridors. We clear fallen timber with machines and restore access — root balls and all.
Culvert Failures
Blocked, crushed, or undersized culverts cause road washouts and flooding. We pull the old one, install the replacement, and restore the road.
Storm Damage
Wind, water, and ice cause access problems across rural sites. We clear debris, restore drainage, and repair road surfaces.
Post-Wildfire Erosion
Burned slopes shed water and debris. We stabilize access, install erosion control, and clear debris flows.
Wildfire response
Active fire response runs through BC Wildfire Service. When fire is on the landscape, crews and equipment work under their direction — that's the system, and it's the right one. Our crews carry S-100 and S-185, and equipment in our classes is in the BCWS hire rate schedule.
While an area is under evacuation order or closure, nobody's machines belong in there — ours included. Where we help directly is either side of the fire: fuel management and fireguard before and during the season, and recovery on your own ground after — danger trees over your access, washouts on burned slopes, drainage before the fall rains, roads that need to carry a truck again.
