When flood water hits your St. Francis property, every hour counts. Standing water doesn’t just sit there—it’s actively penetrating deeper into your floors, walls, and foundation, making the damage exponentially worse with each passing hour.
Within 24 hours, mold spores begin multiplying. Within 48 hours, what could have been a manageable cleanup becomes a major reconstruction project costing thousands more. That’s why our emergency response team operates around the clock, ready to extract water, dry affected areas, and prevent the secondary damage that destroys properties and bank accounts.
You get your property restored to pre-flood condition quickly, your belongings salvaged whenever possible, and the confidence that comes from knowing the job was handled by professionals who understand Wisconsin flooding challenges.
We’re a family-owned company serving St. Francis and the Milwaukee metropolitan area. We understand the flooding challenges Wisconsin properties face—from spring snowmelt overwhelming storm systems to severe thunderstorms that dump inches of rain in minutes.
As St. Francis locals, we know which neighborhoods experience basement flooding during heavy rains, where aging infrastructure struggles with storm runoff, and how quickly Wisconsin weather can turn a small leak into a property-threatening disaster. When you call us, you’re working with neighbors who genuinely care about this community and possess the technical expertise to handle whatever nature delivers.
Our team has successfully restored hundreds of St. Francis homes and businesses, building a reputation for quality work and reliable service when our community needs us most.
We start with a comprehensive damage assessment using specialized moisture detection equipment to locate hidden water in walls, subfloors, and structural cavities. This thorough evaluation allows us to develop a targeted restoration plan that addresses every affected area, not just the obvious damage.
Next comes rapid water extraction using powerful truck-mounted pumps and industrial-grade vacuums. Speed matters here—the faster we remove standing water, the less structural damage occurs and the lower your total restoration costs. Our commercial equipment handles everything from basement flooding to whole-house water intrusion.
Then we deploy commercial air movers and dehumidifiers for controlled structural drying. We continuously monitor moisture levels in affected materials until they return to normal ranges, preventing mold growth and wood rot. Finally, we clean, sanitize, and restore your property using antimicrobial treatments and replacing damaged materials to return your space to its pre-flood condition.

Our comprehensive flood damage cleanup includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, mold prevention, content restoration, and complete property reconstruction. We handle basement floods, burst pipes, storm damage, sewage backups, appliance failures, and ice dam flooding with the same professional standards.
St. Francis faces unique flooding challenges due to Wisconsin’s climate patterns. Spring snowmelt can overwhelm municipal drainage systems, summer storms deliver torrential rainfall that exceeds soil absorption rates, and aging infrastructure sometimes fails under heavy loads. We also address winter flooding from ice dams and frozen pipe failures common in Wisconsin homes.
We work directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation, professional estimates, and clear communication throughout the claims process. Our restoration work meets all Wisconsin building codes and local requirements, ensuring your property passes inspections and maintains its value. You get one experienced team managing everything from emergency response through final reconstruction.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to St. Francis properties and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your initial call. Our rapid response capability is absolutely critical because flood damage accelerates exponentially with time—what starts as manageable water intrusion can become devastating structural damage within hours.
Standing water continues penetrating building materials, saturating insulation, swelling wood floors, and creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Wisconsin’s humidity levels compound these problems, especially during summer months. Every hour of delay means higher restoration costs, more extensive material replacement, and increased risk of permanent damage to your property. By responding immediately with professional equipment and expertise, we can extract water quickly, begin controlled drying, and prevent the secondary damage that turns minor floods into major disasters.
We handle the full spectrum of flood damage affecting St. Francis properties, including basement flooding from storm water intrusion, burst water lines, water heater failures, appliance malfunctions, sewage backups, roof leaks, and ice dam flooding. Wisconsin’s diverse weather patterns create unique flooding scenarios throughout the year.
Spring brings rapid snowmelt that can overwhelm storm drainage systems, particularly in older St. Francis neighborhoods with aging infrastructure. Summer thunderstorms can deliver several inches of rainfall in short periods, causing flash flooding that enters through basement windows, foundation cracks, and overwhelmed sump pumps. Winter ice dams form when snow melts and refreezes at roof edges, forcing water under shingles and into wall cavities. We also handle frozen pipe failures common during Wisconsin’s sub-zero temperatures. Regardless of the water source or damage extent, we use the same professional approach and advanced equipment to ensure complete water extraction, proper drying, and thorough restoration.
Insurance coverage for flood damage varies significantly based on the water source and your specific policy terms. Most standard homeowner’s policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from internal sources like burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks, but they typically exclude flooding from external sources such as storm water, overflowing rivers, or surface water intrusion.
We work extensively with insurance companies throughout the claims process, providing detailed damage documentation, professional photographs, moisture readings, and comprehensive estimates that support your claim. Our team understands exactly what insurance adjusters require and can help ensure you receive maximum coverage available under your policy. Given Wisconsin’s increasing frequency of severe weather events and flooding, we strongly recommend reviewing your coverage with your agent and considering separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. This additional protection has become increasingly valuable for St. Francis property owners as climate patterns bring more intense rainfall events.
Mold prevention requires rapid response and thorough moisture control within the critical first 24-48 hours after water intrusion. We immediately deploy industrial air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, and specialized drying equipment to reduce humidity levels and accelerate evaporation from affected materials. Wisconsin’s naturally high humidity levels make this process particularly challenging and critical.
Our systematic approach includes removing materials that cannot be adequately dried, such as saturated insulation, carpet padding, and portions of drywall that have absorbed excessive moisture. We apply EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces and continuously monitor moisture content in structural materials using professional-grade meters. The drying process continues until all materials reach acceptable moisture levels—typically below 15% for wood materials and under 1% for concrete. We also address hidden moisture in wall cavities and subfloor areas where mold commonly develops undetected. This comprehensive approach prevents mold establishment and protects your St. Francis property’s indoor air quality.
Flood damage cleanup timelines depend on several factors including water volume, affected materials, structural complexity, and Wisconsin’s seasonal humidity conditions. Minor flooding affecting a single room typically requires 3-5 days for complete drying and restoration, while extensive flooding can take 1-2 weeks or longer for full recovery.
Water extraction occurs within the first 24 hours, followed by 3-7 days of controlled structural drying. Wisconsin’s humidity levels can extend drying times, particularly during summer months when outdoor humidity exceeds 70%. We continuously monitor moisture levels rather than relying on arbitrary timelines, ensuring materials are thoroughly dried before proceeding with reconstruction. The final restoration phase depends on the extent of material replacement required—simple cosmetic repairs might add 1-2 days, while extensive reconstruction can take additional weeks. Throughout the process, we maintain clear communication about progress and timelines, working efficiently to restore your St. Francis property without compromising quality or thoroughness.
Your immediate priority is safety—turn off electricity to affected areas if you can safely access the electrical panel from a dry location. Never enter standing water if electrical outlets, appliances, or wiring might be submerged, as electrocution risk is severe. Document visible damage with photographs for insurance purposes, but don’t delay professional response to take extensive photos.
Contact our emergency line immediately because every minute counts in flood damage situations. While waiting for our arrival, remove valuable items from affected areas if you can do so safely, and improve ventilation by opening windows if weather conditions permit. Do not use household fans or equipment in flooded areas, as this can spread contamination and create electrical hazards. Avoid walking through contaminated water, especially if sewage backup is involved. Don’t attempt to pump out basement flooding too quickly, as rapid water removal can cause foundation walls to collapse due to external pressure. Professional flood damage cleanup requires specialized equipment, safety protocols, and technical expertise to protect both your property and your family’s health during the recovery process.
