Our water damage restoration process starts with a comprehensive assessment of your Fox Point property.

This thorough inspection allows us to create a restoration plan tailored specifically to your home and situation.
Water extraction comes next using industrial-grade pumps and extraction equipment. We remove standing water quickly, then use specialized moisture detection tools to locate hidden water that could cause problems later.

The drying process typically takes 3-5 days, during which we monitor moisture levels daily and adjust equipment as needed.

Our comprehensive water damage restoration services cover every aspect of recovery for Fox Point homeowners. We handle basement flooding, burst pipe cleanup, sewage backup remediation, storm damage restoration, and mold prevention—all with the attention to detail Fox Point residents expect from their service providers.
Fox Point’s location along Lake Michigan and connection to Milwaukee’s combined sewer system creates specific water damage challenges during heavy rainfall events. We’ve responded to emergencies during Milwaukee’s historic flooding events, including the record-breaking storms that overwhelmed the area’s drainage infrastructure. Our team understands how quickly water can rise in Fox Point basements and how the area’s clay soil affects water movement around home foundations.
We work directly with major insurance companies to document water damage properly and help ensure you receive appropriate coverage. Our detailed photo documentation, moisture readings, and repair estimates help expedite claims processing, often reducing the stress of dealing with insurance adjusters. For Fox Point residents, this means faster claim resolution and quicker return to normal life—important when dealing with a home that represents a significant investment.
We provide 24/7 emergency water damage restoration response to Fox Point and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Water damage emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Time is absolutely critical in water damage situations because mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours of initial water exposure. The sooner we start the extraction and drying process, the better chance we have of preventing secondary damage like mold growth, wood warping, and structural issues. Our rapid emergency response also means we can often save materials that might otherwise need complete replacement, potentially reducing your overall restoration costs and insurance claim amounts.
Water damage restoration coverage depends on the source of damage and your specific policy terms, but we work directly with insurance companies to help maximize your benefits and streamline the claims process.
Generally, sudden and accidental water damage—like burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related damage—is covered by most homeowner’s insurance policies. However, gradual damage from slow leaks or flooding from external sources may have different coverage requirements. We document everything thoroughly, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure proper coverage evaluation. Our extensive experience with Fox Point insurance claims means we know how to present damage documentation in ways that insurance companies understand and approve efficiently.
First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so, then call us immediately for emergency water damage restoration response.
Never enter standing water in your basement unless you’re absolutely certain the electricity is completely shut off—electrocution is a serious and potentially fatal risk. If the water damage involves sewage backup or contaminated water, avoid all contact and keep family members and pets away from the affected area. Take photos for insurance documentation if you can do so safely, but don’t delay calling for professional help. The faster we can begin water extraction and drying, the better your outcome will be in terms of both property preservation and overall restoration costs.
We use professional-grade drying equipment and continuous moisture monitoring to ensure all materials reach safe moisture levels before we consider any water damage restoration job complete.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water removal and proper drying techniques specifically designed for the humid conditions near Lake Michigan. We place commercial dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout your Fox Point home to create optimal drying conditions. Our certified technicians use professional moisture meters to check not just surface moisture, but also moisture levels inside walls, under flooring, and in other hidden areas where mold typically develops first. We don’t consider a restoration project finished until all materials test at safe moisture levels—typically below 15% for wood materials and appropriate levels for other building materials.
Fox Point’s location near Lake Michigan, combined with Milwaukee’s aging combined sewer system and the area’s clay soil conditions, creates unique water damage risks during heavy rainfall events that affect the entire North Shore area.
The village has experienced significant flooding during major storm events, including the historic 2010 and 2025 Milwaukee floods that completely overwhelmed drainage systems throughout the region. Fox Point’s clay soil doesn’t absorb water quickly, which leads to surface water pooling around foundations and increased basement flooding risk during storms. Additionally, many Fox Point homes connect to Milwaukee’s combined sewer system, which can back up during heavy rainfall, sending contaminated water into basements through floor drains and creating serious water damage and health hazards.
Most water damage restoration projects in Fox Point take 3-7 days for the complete drying process, with total project completion time depending on the extent of repairs needed after water extraction is complete.
The initial water extraction usually happens within the first 24 hours of our arrival. Our commercial drying equipment then runs continuously for 3-5 days on average, though timing can vary based on the amount of water involved, the materials affected, and current humidity conditions. We monitor moisture levels daily and adjust our equipment placement and settings as needed throughout the process. Once everything is properly dried, cleaning and sanitizing typically require 1-2 additional days. If repairs are needed—such as replacing drywall, flooring, or other damaged materials—that work begins after the drying process is complete and can add several more days depending on the scope of restoration work required.
