We’ve been serving Southern Wisconsin homeowners when disaster strikes. We’re the local company that answers the phone at 2 AM and actually shows up within the hour.
Hampton Heights residents know they can count on us because we’ve been handling water emergencies in this area for years. We understand how quickly Wisconsin weather can turn, and we know the specific challenges homes in this region face with basement flooding and storm damage.
When your neighbor recommends us, it’s because we did right by them when they needed help most.
We start with a thorough assessment of your property within the first hour. Our technicians use specialized moisture detection equipment to find water you can’t see – behind walls, under flooring, in crawl spaces.
Next comes immediate water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water fast, then set up commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry everything completely. This isn’t a quick fix – we monitor moisture levels daily until everything reaches safe, dry standards.
The final step is restoration and repairs. We replace damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation. We handle everything from minor repairs to complete room reconstruction, so you’re not juggling multiple contractors while dealing with insurance paperwork.

Hampton Heights homes face unique water damage risks. Spring snowmelt combines with heavy rains to overwhelm drainage systems. Older homes in the area often have basement vulnerabilities that need specialized attention.
Our service includes complete water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, and full restoration. We handle insurance documentation and work directly with adjusters to make sure your claim covers everything it should. Wisconsin homeowners deal with enough insurance complications – we remove that stress.
We also provide emergency board-up services when storms damage windows or roofs. Time matters when water is entering your home, and we’re equipped to stop further damage while we plan the full restoration.
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, especially in Wisconsin’s humid climate. This is why immediate action is critical when you discover water damage.
The combination of moisture and organic materials like drywall or wood creates perfect conditions for mold growth. Once mold takes hold, it spreads rapidly and becomes much more expensive to remediate. Professional water extraction and drying within the first 24 hours significantly reduces mold risk.
We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from the air and materials quickly. Our technicians also monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process to ensure conditions don’t support mold growth.
Coverage depends on the source of the water damage. Most Wisconsin homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like burst pipes or appliance failures. However, gradual leaks or flood damage typically aren’t covered.
Insurance companies often try to deny claims by arguing the damage was preventable or pre-existing. That’s why proper documentation from the start is crucial. We photograph everything, document moisture readings, and provide detailed reports that support your claim.
We work directly with insurance adjusters and understand how to present damage in a way that maximizes your coverage. Many Hampton Heights homeowners have saved thousands by having us handle the insurance documentation properly from day one.
Water extraction is just removing visible water – it’s only the first step. Complete restoration addresses hidden moisture, prevents secondary damage, and returns your property to pre-loss condition.
Many companies stop after extracting standing water, leaving moisture trapped in walls and subfloors. This leads to mold growth, structural damage, and failed insurance inspections. Professional restoration includes moisture detection, complete drying, antimicrobial treatment, and full repairs.
We don’t consider a job complete until moisture readings are back to normal levels and all damaged materials are properly restored or replaced. This comprehensive approach prevents problems that show up weeks or months later.
Hampton Heights basements present unique challenges due to the area’s soil conditions and older foundation systems. We start by identifying the water source – whether it’s groundwater seepage, sump pump failure, or storm-related flooding.
Our approach includes specialized basement water extraction equipment that can handle large volumes quickly. We remove damaged materials like carpet and drywall that can’t be properly dried. Then we set up a controlled drying environment using commercial dehumidifiers positioned specifically for below-grade spaces.
Basement restoration also requires careful moisture monitoring because concrete and foundation walls hold water differently than upper-level materials. We track moisture levels for several days to ensure complete drying before beginning repairs.
Stop the water source if it’s safe to do so – shut off the main water valve or the specific supply line that’s leaking. Then call us immediately for emergency response. Time is critical in preventing secondary damage.
Don’t try to extract large amounts of water yourself. Standard household equipment isn’t powerful enough, and you might miss hidden moisture that leads to mold growth. Take photos for insurance purposes, but avoid walking through standing water if there’s any chance of electrical hazards.
Move valuable items to dry areas if you can do so safely, but don’t delay calling professionals. Every hour of delay increases the scope of damage and the cost of restoration. We’re available 24/7 specifically because water damage emergencies can’t wait until business hours.
Most residential water damage restoration takes 3-7 days for drying, plus additional time for repairs depending on the extent of damage. Basement flooding or extensive damage can take longer, while minor leaks might be resolved in 2-3 days.
The drying phase can’t be rushed – materials need time to release moisture completely. We monitor progress daily and adjust equipment as needed. Trying to speed up this process often leads to incomplete drying and future problems.
Repair and reconstruction timing depends on the scope of work and insurance approval processes. We coordinate with your insurance company to minimize delays and keep you informed of progress throughout the restoration. Our goal is getting you back to normal as quickly as possible while doing the job right.
