When water floods your property, every minute counts. Not just for your floors and furniture, but for preventing the hidden damage that shows up weeks later—warped wood, crumbling drywall, and mold growing inside your walls.
Our water removal process gets every drop out fast. We’re talking about professional extraction that pulls water from places you didn’t even know it could hide. Your carpets, padding, wall cavities, and subflooring get completely dried using equipment that works faster and more thoroughly than anything you can rent.
The result? Your property doesn’t just look dry—it actually is dry. No surprise mold discoveries months later. No floors that buckle next spring. Just complete water removal that lets you move forward without wondering what problems are developing behind your walls.
We’ve been handling water emergencies across Southern Wisconsin long enough to know that every property is different. The downtown building that floods from street-level storm drains needs different treatment than the basement that gets hit by a burst water heater.
We know how water behaves in Wisconsin buildings. We understand which local areas flood first during heavy rains, how our freeze-thaw cycles affect plumbing, and why some older downtown properties need extra attention during the drying process. This isn’t textbook knowledge—it’s experience from hundreds of water removal jobs right here in our community.
When you’re dealing with water damage, you want someone who’s seen your exact situation before and knows exactly how to handle it. That’s what you get with our local expertise.
We start with detection equipment that finds water you can’t see. Moisture meters and infrared cameras map out exactly where water traveled, including inside walls and under flooring. This isn’t guesswork—we know precisely what needs attention before we start removing anything.
Water extraction comes next. Truck-mounted pumps handle standing water while specialized tools extract moisture from carpets, padding, and porous materials. We’re removing water at the source, not just mopping up what’s visible on the surface.
Drying and dehumidification create the conditions needed to pull remaining moisture from structural materials. Industrial air movers and commercial dehumidifiers run continuously, monitored with digital meters until everything reaches proper dryness levels. This phase typically takes 3-5 days, depending on how much material was affected.
Finally, we handle sanitization and any necessary repairs. Affected areas get treated to prevent microbial growth, damaged materials get removed and replaced, and your property gets returned to pre-loss condition.
Ready to get started?
Your water removal service includes everything from emergency response to final cleanup. We arrive with truck-mounted extraction equipment, industrial drying equipment, moisture detection tools, and sanitization supplies. Everything needed to handle your water damage completely.
Documentation for insurance claims is included—detailed photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and repair estimates. We work directly with your insurance adjuster to make sure your claim gets processed smoothly and you receive the coverage you deserve.
In Downtown Wisconsin, we deal with unique challenges that come with older buildings and urban flooding patterns. Many downtown properties have basement vulnerabilities, aging plumbing systems, and building materials that hold moisture longer than modern construction. Our local experience means we know how to address these specific issues effectively.
You also get ongoing monitoring throughout the drying process. We don’t just drop off equipment and disappear. Daily checks ensure everything is progressing properly, equipment gets adjusted as needed, and we don’t consider the job finished until moisture levels are completely normal.
We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day. Our emergency response vehicles carry everything needed to begin water extraction immediately—no delays waiting for additional equipment or crews to arrive.
Speed matters because every hour water sits increases damage exponentially. What starts as surface water becomes absorbed into subflooring, wall materials, and insulation. The faster we start removing water, the more of your property we can save and the lower your total restoration costs.
For after-hours emergencies, we maintain the same rapid response. Water damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing, so our emergency service operates around the clock with the same professional standards and complete equipment availability.
We handle all categories of water damage using the appropriate safety protocols for each type. Clean water from burst supply lines or appliance failures is straightforward to extract and dry. Gray water from washing machines or dishwasher overflows requires additional sanitization procedures.
Black water from sewage backups or contaminated flood water demands specialized containment, safety equipment, and disposal procedures. We are trained in proper handling techniques for each category and carry the equipment needed to work safely in contaminated environments.
Each water type requires different treatment during the removal and drying process. We assess the contamination level immediately and implement the correct protocols to ensure your property is not just dry, but safe for normal occupancy when we’re finished.
Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, which includes burst pipes, appliance malfunctions, and storm-related water intrusion. Coverage varies by policy and cause, so we help document everything properly to support your claim.
We work directly with insurance companies and provide the detailed documentation they require—moisture readings, photos of affected areas, equipment logs, and itemized restoration estimates. Our experience with insurance claims helps ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
Gradual damage from long-term leaks or maintenance issues typically isn’t covered, which makes immediate professional response even more important. The faster you address water damage with proper documentation, the stronger your insurance claim becomes.
Mold prevention starts with rapid response—we begin extraction and drying within hours to prevent spores from establishing growth. Mold can start developing within 24-48 hours in the right conditions, so speed is your primary defense against mold problems.
Our drying process creates environmental conditions that prevent mold growth. Industrial dehumidifiers control humidity levels while air movers create airflow patterns that discourage mold development. We monitor these conditions continuously with digital meters throughout the drying process.
If we discover existing mold during water removal, we address it immediately with proper containment and removal procedures. This prevents a water damage situation from becoming a much more expensive mold remediation project down the road.
First, ensure safety by shutting off electricity to flooded areas if you can do so safely. Don’t walk through standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged. If the water source is still active, shut off the main water supply if possible.
Remove valuable items from the affected area and start removing standing water if you can do so safely with basic tools. However, don’t attempt large-scale water removal yourself—professional equipment is significantly more effective and prevents you from missing hidden moisture that causes problems later.
Call us immediately, even during overnight hours. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay professional response to get perfect documentation. The sooner we start the water removal process, the more of your property and belongings we can save.
Most water removal projects require 3-7 days for complete structural drying, depending on the extent of damage, materials affected, and environmental conditions. We can extract standing water within hours, but thorough drying of building materials takes additional time.
Drying time depends on several factors: amount of water present, how long it was standing, types of building materials, and current weather conditions. Dense materials like concrete and hardwood take longer to dry than drywall or carpet. High humidity or cold temperatures extend the drying timeline.
We monitor progress daily with calibrated moisture meters and adjust equipment placement as needed. We don’t consider the job complete until moisture readings in all affected materials return to normal, safe levels. Rushing this process would compromise restoration quality and risk future problems.
