The hours after a storm are critical. Water intrusion leads to mold growth within 24-48 hours. Structural damage worsens without proper stabilization. Insurance claims become complicated when you wait.
That’s why we respond immediately to storm calls in Harbor View. Our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade equipment to extract water, stabilize structures, and document everything for your insurance company. You get your property dried out properly, structural integrity restored, and the peace of mind that comes from working with professionals who’ve handled hundreds of storm cleanup projects.
When we’re done, your property isn’t just cleaned up—it’s restored to pre-storm condition with protections in place to prevent future issues.
We’ve been Harbor View’s go-to storm damage restoration company because we understand what Wisconsin weather can do to your property. We’re not a national franchise—we’re your neighbors who live and work in this community.
Our IICRC-certified technicians have cleaned up after countless storms across southern Wisconsin. We know how quickly our summer thunderstorms can turn destructive, and we’ve seen what happens when property owners try to handle cleanup themselves or hire inexperienced contractors.
Every storm cleanup project gets the same systematic approach: immediate response, thorough assessment, professional-grade equipment, and complete restoration. We work directly with your insurance company to make the process as smooth as possible during an already stressful time.
Your storm cleanup starts with our emergency response team arriving within hours of your call. We immediately assess the damage, identify safety hazards, and begin stabilization to prevent further destruction.
Next comes water extraction and structural drying using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels throughout your property to ensure complete drying—not just what you can see on the surface.
While drying equipment runs, we document all damage with detailed photos and measurements for your insurance claim. We handle the paperwork and communicate directly with adjusters to streamline your claim process.
Once everything is thoroughly dry, we begin repairs and restoration. This includes replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and structural elements. Our goal is returning your property to pre-storm condition, not just getting it “functional” again.

Our storm damage cleanup covers every aspect of recovery: emergency board-up services, water extraction, structural drying, debris removal, and complete reconstruction. We handle roof tarping, window protection, and emergency stabilization to secure your property immediately after storm damage.
Harbor View properties face unique challenges from Wisconsin’s severe weather patterns. Our summer thunderstorms can produce winds over 70 mph, hail larger than golf balls, and flash flooding that overwhelms drainage systems. We’ve restored homes and businesses after derecho winds, tornado damage, and the kind of severe hailstorms that strip roofs and shatter windows.
Each project includes comprehensive mold prevention, since Wisconsin’s humidity creates perfect conditions for rapid mold growth after water intrusion. We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments and ensure proper ventilation during the drying process. Your restoration includes air quality testing to verify safe conditions before we consider the job complete.
We maintain 24/7 emergency response for Harbor View storm damage calls. Our typical response time is within 2-4 hours, depending on weather conditions and road accessibility.
During major storm events affecting multiple properties, we triage calls based on safety hazards and severity of damage. Properties with active water intrusion, structural instability, or electrical hazards receive priority response. We’ll give you an accurate arrival time when you call and keep you updated if conditions change our timeline.
Our emergency response includes immediate stabilization, water extraction, and temporary protection measures. Even if full restoration can’t begin immediately due to weather, we’ll secure your property and begin the drying process to prevent secondary damage like mold growth.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden storm damage, including wind, hail, and resulting water intrusion. However, coverage depends on your specific policy terms and the cause of damage.
We work directly with insurance companies and adjusters throughout Harbor View. Our team documents all damage with detailed photos, moisture readings, and written assessments that meet insurance requirements. We can often bill your insurance company directly, so you only pay your deductible upfront.
Flood damage from rising water typically requires separate flood insurance coverage. But water damage from wind-driven rain, roof leaks, or broken windows during storms is usually covered under standard homeowner’s policies. We’ll review your situation and help you understand what’s covered before beginning any work that might not be included in your policy.
Storm cleanup focuses on immediate safety and damage mitigation—removing debris, extracting water, and stabilizing structures. Storm restoration goes further to completely repair and rebuild damaged areas back to pre-storm condition.
Cleanup might involve tarping a damaged roof, boarding up broken windows, and removing fallen trees. Restoration includes replacing the roof, installing new windows, repairing structural damage, and refinishing interior spaces affected by water intrusion.
Many Harbor View property owners start with emergency cleanup to prevent further damage, then move to full restoration once insurance claims are processed. We handle both phases seamlessly, so you work with one company from emergency response through final walkthrough. This continuity ensures better results and eliminates coordination problems between different contractors.
Mold prevention starts within hours of storm damage, not days later. Wisconsin’s humidity creates ideal conditions for mold growth, especially after water intrusion from storms.
We begin water extraction immediately and use commercial-grade dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels below 60% relative humidity. Air movers create circulation to speed evaporation from building materials. We monitor moisture content in walls, floors, and ceilings using specialized meters—not just surface drying.
Any materials that can’t be properly dried within 48 hours get removed and replaced. This includes insulation, drywall, and flooring that has absorbed significant water. We also apply EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and conduct air quality testing before considering restoration complete. These steps cost more upfront but prevent expensive mold remediation projects later.
Your safety comes first. Don’t enter damaged buildings until you’re certain there are no electrical hazards, gas leaks, or structural instability. If you smell gas or see downed power lines, stay away and call utilities immediately.
If it’s safe to enter, take photos of all damage for insurance documentation. Don’t throw away damaged items yet—your adjuster may need to see them. Move valuable items to dry areas if possible, but don’t risk injury moving heavy furniture or debris.
Try to minimize additional water intrusion by placing buckets under active leaks or covering broken windows with plastic sheeting. However, don’t attempt major repairs like roof tarping yourself—these jobs require proper equipment and safety training. Document what you do with photos and receipts, as temporary protective measures are usually covered by insurance.
Timeline depends on damage severity, insurance processing, and material availability. Emergency stabilization and water extraction happen within 24-48 hours. Structural drying takes 3-7 days for most properties.
Minor storm damage—roof repairs, window replacement, interior drying—often completes within 2-3 weeks. Major restoration involving structural repairs, flooring replacement, and interior reconstruction can take 6-12 weeks.
Insurance claim processing affects timeline significantly. We work directly with adjusters to expedite approvals, but complex claims involving multiple damage types can add weeks to the process. Weather also impacts scheduling, as we can’t complete exterior work during active storms. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after our initial assessment and update you regularly as work progresses.
