When water damage hits your Riverwest property, every hour matters. The difference between a quick cleanup and months of reconstruction often comes down to how fast you act and who you call.
You get immediate water extraction that stops damage from spreading. Professional-grade drying equipment eliminates hidden moisture that causes mold and structural problems weeks later. Your insurance claim gets documented properly from day one, so you’re not fighting for coverage later.
Most importantly, you get your life back. No more plastic sheeting over furniture, no more industrial fans running 24/7, no more wondering if that smell means mold is growing behind your walls. Just your property restored to exactly how it was before the water came in.
We understand Wisconsin weather and the unique challenges Riverwest properties face. From basement flooding during spring thaws to burst pipes during brutal winter freezes, we’ve handled every type of water damage this area throws at buildings.
We’re not a national franchise following corporate scripts. We’re local restoration professionals who live in this community and understand how quickly Wisconsin weather can turn a small leak into a major problem.
Our team has restored hundreds of Riverwest homes and businesses, working directly with insurance companies to make sure you get the coverage you deserve without the runaround.
First, we assess the full extent of damage using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water you can’t see. This prevents problems from hiding behind walls or under flooring where they’ll cause expensive issues later.
Next, we extract standing water and set up industrial drying equipment designed for Wisconsin’s humidity levels. Our equipment runs continuously, monitored daily until moisture readings return to normal. No guessing, no shortcuts.
Finally, we handle repairs from replacing drywall to refinishing floors. You work with one team through the entire process instead of coordinating multiple contractors. We document everything for your insurance company and provide detailed photos showing the work completed.

Your water damage repair includes immediate water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, and complete restoration work. We handle everything from carpet replacement to drywall repairs to flooring installation.
Riverwest’s older housing stock often has unique challenges like plaster walls, hardwood floors, and basement moisture issues that require specialized knowledge. We understand how water moves through these buildings and what it takes to properly dry them.
You also get complete insurance documentation including photos, moisture readings, and detailed repair estimates. Most insurance companies in Wisconsin know our work, which speeds up your claim approval and gets repairs started faster.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Riverwest, typically arriving within 60-90 minutes of your call. Water damage spreads rapidly, especially in Wisconsin’s humid conditions, so immediate response prevents thousands of dollars in additional damage.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction, damage assessment, and temporary protection measures to prevent further damage. We bring all necessary equipment on the first visit, so work begins immediately rather than waiting for a second trip.
Even during severe weather events when multiple properties are affected, we maintain emergency crews specifically for urgent water damage situations. Your emergency doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Most Wisconsin homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage. Coverage varies by policy, but professional restoration is typically covered when the damage qualifies under your policy terms.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout Wisconsin and can often bill them directly for covered services. This eliminates upfront costs for you while ensuring the restoration meets insurance company standards for coverage approval.
Our team documents everything according to insurance industry requirements, including photos, moisture readings, and detailed repair estimates. This documentation prevents claim disputes and speeds up the approval process significantly.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture elimination within 24-48 hours of water damage. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers designed for Wisconsin’s humidity levels to ensure thorough drying of all affected materials.
Our moisture detection equipment identifies hidden water in wall cavities, under flooring, and in other areas where mold typically develops. We don’t stop drying until moisture readings return to normal levels, verified by professional-grade meters.
For Riverwest’s older homes with plaster walls or unique construction, we understand how moisture moves through these buildings and adjust our drying strategy accordingly. This prevents mold problems from developing weeks or months after the initial water damage.
We handle all categories of water damage common to Riverwest properties, from clean water from burst pipes to contaminated water from sewer backups or flooding. Each type requires different safety protocols and restoration approaches.
Clean water damage from appliance failures or pipe breaks requires immediate extraction and drying. Gray water from washing machine overflows or dishwasher leaks needs sanitization along with drying. Black water from sewage or flooding requires specialized safety equipment and disposal procedures.
Riverwest’s proximity to the Milwaukee River means we also handle flood damage from storm events. This includes contaminated water cleanup, structural drying, and complete sanitization to ensure your property is safe for occupancy.
Drying typically takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of damage and Wisconsin’s weather conditions. Humidity levels and temperature affect drying times, so we monitor progress daily with professional moisture meters rather than guessing.
Complete restoration including repairs usually takes 1-2 weeks for typical water damage situations. Extensive damage affecting multiple rooms or requiring structural work may take longer, but we provide realistic timelines upfront based on the specific damage to your property.
Riverwest’s older homes sometimes require additional time due to plaster walls, hardwood floors, or unique construction details that need specialized restoration techniques. We explain any timeline adjustments clearly and keep you updated throughout the process.
We work with all major insurance companies operating in Wisconsin and understand their specific requirements for water damage claims. Many insurers prefer working with certified restoration companies because our documentation meets their standards for claim approval.
We can bill your insurance company directly for covered services in most cases, eliminating upfront costs while ensuring the work meets insurance industry standards. This also prevents disputes about whether restoration work qualifies for coverage.
Our detailed documentation includes photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and itemized repair estimates that insurance adjusters expect. This thorough documentation speeds up claim processing and prevents coverage disputes that can delay your restoration.
