You walk into a dry, clean space that smells fresh and feels safe again. Your floors are solid underfoot, your walls are moisture-free, and there’s no lingering worry about mold or structural damage lurking behind the scenes.
That’s what proper water damage repairs deliver. No shortcuts, no hoping the problem goes away on its own, no wondering if you’ll face bigger issues down the road.
Your insurance claim gets handled professionally. Your belongings get protected or properly restored. And you get your peace of mind back, knowing the job was done right the first time.
We’ve been serving Fox Point and the greater Milwaukee area as a family-owned water restoration company. We’ve seen firsthand how the North Shore’s older homes and Fox Point’s unique drainage challenges can turn a small leak into a major headache.
After Fox Point’s recent historic flooding affected over 300 homes, we’ve helped dozens of neighbors get back on their feet. We know which basements flood first during heavy rains, which streets see the worst storm water backup, and how quickly you need to act to prevent permanent damage.
When you call us, you’re working with people who live and work in this community. We’re not some national chain that disappears after the check clears.
First, we assess the full scope of damage within hours of your call. Our technicians identify where water traveled, what materials are affected, and what needs immediate attention to prevent further damage.
Next comes water extraction using professional-grade equipment. We remove standing water quickly, then focus on moisture that’s soaked into floors, walls, and furniture. Speed matters here—every hour of delay increases your restoration costs.
Then we dry and dehumidify everything systematically. Industrial fans and dehumidifiers run continuously while we monitor moisture levels in affected materials. This prevents mold growth and saves materials that might otherwise need replacement.
Finally, we clean, disinfect, and restore your space to pre-damage condition. That includes odor removal, sanitizing, and any necessary repairs to get your home back to normal.

Your water damage repair includes complete water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, mold prevention, content cleaning, and odor removal. We handle insurance documentation, coordinate with adjusters, and provide detailed photo documentation of all damage and repairs.
Fox Point’s clay soil and older sewer systems mean basement flooding often involves more than just clean water. We’re equipped to handle contaminated water cleanup, sewage backup remediation, and the specialized cleaning protocols these situations require.
You also get our guarantee that the work will be done right. If moisture returns or mold appears in areas we’ve treated, we come back and make it right at no additional cost. That’s the level of confidence we have in our process and the peace of mind you deserve.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Fox Point and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with water damage—every hour of delay increases restoration costs and the likelihood of permanent damage.
Our rapid response includes immediate water extraction to stop ongoing damage, moisture assessment using professional-grade meters, and emergency board-up or tarping if needed to prevent additional water intrusion. We start the drying process immediately, even if it’s the middle of the night, because waiting until morning often means the difference between saving your hardwood floors or replacing them entirely.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks from storm damage. However, gradual leaks, flood damage, or maintenance-related issues typically aren’t covered under standard policies.
We work directly with insurance companies and adjusters throughout the Fox Point area. We document everything with detailed photos, moisture readings, and comprehensive reports that help support your claim. Our team handles the paperwork and communication with your adjuster, so you don’t have to navigate the claims process alone while dealing with the stress of water damage.
We also provide upfront estimates so you know what to expect, whether insurance covers the full amount or you’re paying out of pocket.
Water damage typically refers to water from internal sources—burst pipes, water heater failures, appliance leaks, or roof damage that lets rain inside. This type of damage is usually covered by homeowner’s insurance and is what we handle most often in Fox Point homes.
Flood damage comes from external water sources like overflowing rivers, storm surge, or the kind of street flooding Fox Point experienced during recent severe storms. This requires separate flood insurance and often involves contaminated water that requires specialized cleanup protocols.
The distinction matters for both insurance coverage and cleanup procedures. Even if your basement flooded from street water backing up through floor drains, the cleanup process is more complex than a clean water pipe break and may require different equipment and safety measures.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water removal and thorough drying within 24-48 hours of the initial damage. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels before we consider the job complete.
Fox Point’s older homes often have unique challenges—plaster walls that hold moisture longer than drywall, hardwood floors that can cup and warp, and basement stone foundations that require special attention. We monitor moisture levels in these materials continuously and adjust our drying strategy accordingly.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and provide documentation of moisture levels throughout the drying process. If any area doesn’t reach proper dryness standards, we continue treatment until it does. This systematic approach is why we can guarantee against mold growth in areas we’ve properly treated.
First, ensure your safety—if there’s any risk of electrical hazards, standing water near outlets, or structural damage, evacuate the area immediately. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from a dry location.
Next, stop the water source if possible. This might mean shutting off the main water line, turning off appliance water supplies, or placing buckets under active leaks. Take photos of all damage for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling for professional help to document everything.
Remove valuable items from the affected area if you can do so safely, but don’t attempt major cleanup yourself. Walking through contaminated water or using regular household fans can actually spread damage and create health hazards. Call us immediately—even if it’s 2 AM—because professional water extraction within the first few hours often means the difference between minor repairs and major reconstruction.
Most water damage repairs in Fox Point take 3-5 days for the drying process, followed by 1-2 weeks for any necessary reconstruction work. However, the timeline depends on several factors: the extent of damage, the materials affected, weather conditions, and how quickly we can begin the drying process.
Basement flooding in Fox Point’s older homes often takes longer to dry completely due to stone foundations and limited ventilation. Hardwood floors may need additional time to stabilize before we can determine if they need replacement or can be saved through professional drying techniques.
We provide daily updates on moisture levels and drying progress, so you know exactly where things stand. Our goal is to get you back in your home as quickly as possible while ensuring the job is done thoroughly enough to prevent future problems. Rushing the drying process to save a few days often leads to mold problems weeks later, which is why we don’t cut corners on proper drying times.
