When water damage hits your Shorewood home, every minute counts. You’re not just dealing with standing water—you’re racing against mold growth, structural damage, and mounting costs.
Our emergency response team understands what’s at stake. We arrive fast, work systematically, and restore your property to its pre-damage condition. No surprises, no shortcuts, just thorough restoration that protects your investment.
Most Shorewood homeowners are back in their fully restored spaces within days, not weeks. Your family deserves that same quick return to normal life.
We’ve been serving Shorewood and the greater Milwaukee area as a family-owned restoration company. We understand the unique challenges that come with Shorewood’s older homes—many built before 1951 with aging plumbing systems and infrastructure.
Our local knowledge matters. We know which areas flood during heavy rains, understand the common pipe issues in vintage homes, and work directly with insurance companies familiar with Shorewood properties.
When disaster strikes your neighborhood, we’re the team your neighbors trust to get the job done right the first time.
First, we conduct a comprehensive assessment using advanced moisture detection equipment. This isn’t a quick glance—we identify all affected areas, including hidden water pockets that could cause problems later.
Next comes immediate water extraction using powerful pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water quickly, then begin the critical drying phase with industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers positioned strategically throughout your property.
Throughout the process, we monitor moisture levels with precision instruments. Only when everything meets our strict drying standards do we move to repairs and restoration. Your property isn’t just dry—it’s restored to its original condition with materials that match your home’s character.

Shorewood’s homes, many built before 1951, present unique restoration challenges that require specialized knowledge and techniques. Older plumbing systems, original hardwood floors, and vintage construction materials need careful handling during the restoration process.
We’re experienced in working with lead service lines, original plaster walls, and hardwood floors that may have historical significance. Our restoration approach preserves the character of your home while ensuring modern safety and drying standards.
Additionally, older homes often have hidden moisture pathways that standard restoration companies miss. Our comprehensive assessment identifies these potential problem areas before they become costly issues down the road.
Insurance coverage for water damage depends on the cause and your specific policy terms. Sudden and accidental damage, like burst pipes or appliance malfunctions, is typically covered by most homeowner’s policies.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the claims process, providing detailed documentation, photos, and estimates that help expedite your claim. Our team understands what insurance adjusters need to see and how to present restoration costs effectively.
However, gradual damage from long-term leaks or flood damage may require separate flood insurance. We’ll review your situation and help you understand what’s covered before beginning any work, so there are no surprises with your claim.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water removal and proper drying techniques. We begin extraction immediately and use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to create optimal drying conditions throughout your property.
Our moisture monitoring equipment tracks humidity levels in real-time, ensuring we achieve the proper drying standards before moving to repairs. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas when necessary to prevent mold spores from taking hold.
The key is maintaining proper airflow and humidity levels throughout the entire restoration process. Our systematic approach ensures that even hidden moisture in wall cavities and subfloors is properly addressed, eliminating the conditions mold needs to grow.
First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or fixtures. Then, if possible, locate and stop the water source—shut off the main water valve for plumbing leaks or place tarps over roof damage.
Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t attempt to remove standing water or damaged materials yourself. This can spread contamination or cause additional damage, especially in older homes with delicate materials.
Call us immediately for emergency response. While our team is en route, move valuable items to dry areas if you can do so safely. The faster professional restoration begins, the more of your property we can save and the lower your overall costs will be.
Most residential water damage restoration projects in Shorewood take 3-7 days from start to finish, depending on the extent of damage and the size of the affected area. Emergency water extraction typically happens within hours of our arrival.
The drying phase usually takes 2-4 days with our industrial equipment running continuously. We monitor moisture levels throughout this period and only proceed to repairs when everything meets our strict drying standards.
Reconstruction and final restoration work varies based on the materials involved and the scope of repairs needed. We provide detailed timelines upfront and keep you informed of progress throughout the entire process, so you know exactly when you can expect to return to normal life.
