We’ve seen what recent storms have done to properties right here in Hales Corners, including the flooding that caused over a million dollars in damage to local buildings. That’s why we maintain our 24/7 emergency response capability and keep our average response time under 90 minutes.
When you call us for storm damage cleanup, here’s exactly what happens. First, we arrive within 90 minutes to assess the full extent of the damage—not just what’s obvious, but hidden issues like moisture penetration and structural concerns that could cause problems later.

Storm damage cleanup in Hales Corners involves more than just removing water and debris. Wisconsin storms bring unique challenges that require specific expertise and equipment to handle properly.
When severe weather hits our area—like the recent storms that dropped nearly seven inches of rain and caused widespread flooding—the damage often includes multiple elements. Wind damage to roofing and siding. Water intrusion from driving rain. Fallen trees creating structural damage. Sometimes even hail damage to windows and exterior surfaces.
Our storm damage cleanup service addresses all of these issues comprehensively. We handle water extraction and structural drying using professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. We provide emergency board-up and roof tarping to secure your property. We remove storm debris and fallen trees. We repair structural damage and restore damaged interiors.
Because we serve the Milwaukee County area, we also understand the local insurance requirements and building codes that apply to storm damage repairs in Hales Corners. We work directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure all necessary work is covered and completed to code. This local knowledge makes your restoration process smoother and helps prevent delays that can extend your recovery time.
We maintain 24/7 emergency response capability specifically for situations like storm damage where immediate action prevents additional damage. Our average response time to Hales Corners properties is under 90 minutes from the time you call.
This rapid response is crucial because storm damage often creates ongoing threats to your property. A damaged roof continues to let water in with every passing hour. Broken windows expose your interior to the elements. Standing water begins promoting mold growth within 24-48 hours. The sooner we arrive and begin securing your property, the less total damage you’ll experience and the lower your restoration costs will be.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover storm damage when it results from sudden and accidental events like wind, hail, or rain intrusion through storm-damaged roofing. However, coverage specifics depend on your individual policy and the exact cause of damage.
We work directly with insurance adjusters throughout the Milwaukee County area and understand how local claims are typically handled. We provide detailed documentation of all damage, including photographs and moisture readings, to support your claim. We also understand which repairs insurance companies expect to be completed immediately to prevent further damage versus which repairs can be scheduled for later completion.
Our experience with insurance claims means we can often identify coverage issues early and help you understand what to expect from your claim. This prevents surprises and helps ensure you get the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
We handle all types of storm damage common to southeastern Wisconsin, including water damage from heavy rainfall and flooding, wind damage to roofing and siding, fallen tree damage, hail damage to exterior surfaces, and ice damage from winter storms.
Wisconsin storms can be particularly destructive because they often involve multiple elements simultaneously. A severe thunderstorm might bring high winds, heavy rain, and hail all at once. Winter storms combine ice, snow, and wind that can bring down trees and damage roofs. We’re equipped to handle these complex damage scenarios because we understand the weather patterns that affect Hales Corners and surrounding areas.
Our comprehensive approach means you don’t need to coordinate between multiple contractors for different types of damage. We handle everything from initial emergency securing through complete restoration, which simplifies your recovery process and ensures all work is properly coordinated.
Mold prevention starts with immediate water extraction and rapid structural drying, which is why our emergency response capability is so important. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours after water intrusion, so time is critical.
We use professional-grade water extraction equipment to remove standing water, followed by industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry affected materials thoroughly. We also use moisture meters to monitor drying progress and ensure materials reach appropriate moisture levels before we consider them properly dried. Simply removing visible water isn’t sufficient—materials like drywall, insulation, and subflooring can retain moisture that promotes mold growth if not properly addressed.
In cases where materials have been saturated for extended periods or where contaminated water is involved, we remove and replace affected materials rather than attempting to dry them. This approach eliminates the risk of mold growth and ensures your property is truly restored to a safe, healthy condition.
Yes, emergency board-up and roof tarping services are a crucial part of our storm damage response. When storms damage your roof, windows, or exterior walls, these openings allow continued water intrusion and create security vulnerabilities that must be addressed immediately.
We carry emergency materials on our response vehicles and can secure most storm damage immediately upon arrival. This includes heavy-duty tarping for roof damage, plywood boarding for broken windows and doors, and temporary structural supports when needed. These emergency measures prevent additional damage while we develop a complete restoration plan.
Your insurance company expects you to take reasonable measures to prevent further damage after a storm, and emergency securing services typically qualify as covered expenses under most policies. We document all emergency work with photographs and detailed records to support your insurance claim and ensure you’re reimbursed for these necessary protective measures.
The timeline for complete storm damage restoration depends on the extent of damage, but most residential properties are fully restored within 5-10 business days from the start of work. Commercial properties or those with extensive structural damage may require 2-3 weeks for complete restoration.
Several factors affect restoration timelines, including the extent of water damage requiring drying time, availability of materials for repairs, insurance approval processes for extensive repairs, and weather conditions that might affect certain types of repair work. We provide realistic timeline estimates after completing our initial damage assessment and update you regularly as work progresses.
Our goal is always to restore your property as quickly as possible while ensuring all work meets professional standards and local building codes. We don’t rush work that needs to be done properly, but we also understand that extended restoration timelines disrupt your life and business operations. Our systematic approach and experienced crews help us complete restorations efficiently without compromising quality.
