Water doesn’t wait, and neither do we. You get your property back to normal condition fast, without the headaches of dealing with insurance alone or wondering if the job was done right.
Our 24/7 response means we’re extracting water and setting up drying equipment while other companies are still answering their phones. You avoid the nightmare scenarios – mold growth, structural damage, and repair bills that spiral out of control.
Most importantly, you get back to your normal routine. No more plastic sheeting, no more industrial fans running for weeks, no more questions about whether your home is safe for your family.
We’re family-owned and operated, serving Story Hill and the greater Milwaukee area. We understand this neighborhood – from the historic homes near Miller Park to the tight-knit community that values quality and reliability.
We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and doing what we promise. Our team lives and works in this area, so your emergency becomes our priority.
When your neighbors recommend a water damage company, they recommend us. That’s not marketing – that’s earned trust from years of helping Story Hill families get their lives back on track after water disasters.
First, we assess the damage completely. Our trained technicians use specialized equipment to find every drop of water, including moisture you can’t see behind walls or under floors. We identify the source, stop it, and map out exactly what needs to be done.
Next comes water extraction and drying. We bring in industrial-grade pumps, dehumidifiers, and air movers to remove standing water and moisture from affected areas. This isn’t a one-day process – we monitor moisture levels until everything is completely dry.
Finally, we restore your property. This means repairing damaged drywall, replacing flooring if necessary, and making sure everything looks and functions like it did before the water damage occurred. We handle the insurance paperwork so you can focus on getting back to normal.

You get comprehensive water damage restoration that covers everything from initial emergency response to final repairs. We handle burst pipes, basement flooding, appliance leaks, storm damage, and sewage backups.
Story Hill’s older homes and proximity to the Menomonee River make quick response especially important. We understand the unique challenges of this area – from the historic architecture that requires careful restoration to the basement flooding issues common in central Milwaukee neighborhoods.
Our service includes water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, damage repair, and insurance claim assistance. We use advanced moisture detection equipment and industrial drying systems specifically designed for Wisconsin’s humidity levels and weather patterns.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Story Hill and can typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with water damage – the faster we start extraction and drying, the less damage you’ll have and the lower your costs will be.
Our rapid response helps prevent secondary damage like mold growth, which can start within 24-48 hours in Wisconsin’s humid climate. We keep emergency equipment ready and technicians on call specifically because we know water damage doesn’t happen on a convenient schedule.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related issues. However, coverage varies significantly based on the cause of damage and your specific policy terms.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document everything properly for your claim. This includes taking photos, providing detailed estimates, and communicating with adjusters throughout the process. We’ve handled hundreds of insurance claims and know exactly what documentation they need.
Coverage typically excludes flood damage from external sources or damage from long-term leaks that weren’t addressed promptly. We’ll review your situation and help you understand what’s likely to be covered before we begin work.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying within the first 24-48 hours. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring equipment to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and remove any materials that can’t be properly dried, like soaked insulation or severely damaged drywall. Our technicians are trained to identify conditions that promote mold growth and address them proactively.
Milwaukee’s humidity makes mold prevention especially important. We monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process and don’t consider the job complete until everything tests at safe levels. This thorough approach prevents mold problems that could develop weeks or months later.
We handle all categories of water damage, from clean water from burst pipes to contaminated water from sewage backups. This includes basement flooding, appliance leaks, storm damage, roof leaks, and plumbing failures.
Story Hill’s older homes often have unique challenges like galvanized pipes, basement moisture issues, and storm water problems. We’re experienced with the specific issues common in this neighborhood and have the equipment to handle everything from minor leaks to major flooding.
Each type of water damage requires different safety protocols and restoration approaches. We assess the contamination level and health risks, then use appropriate cleaning and sanitization methods to ensure your home is safe when we’re finished.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential water damage projects take 3-5 days for drying and 1-2 weeks for complete restoration including repairs. Emergency response and water extraction typically happen within hours of your call.
Drying is the longest phase and can’t be rushed – materials need to reach proper moisture levels to prevent future problems. We use moisture meters to track progress and only move to repairs once everything is completely dry.
More extensive damage involving structural repairs, flooring replacement, or contaminated water cleanup can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you can plan accordingly.
