Your home dry, safe, and restored to exactly how it was before the water hit. No lingering odors, no hidden moisture, no mold growing behind walls six months later. You’ll have documentation for insurance, a warranty on our work, and peace of mind that the job was done right the first time.
Most homeowners don’t realize that water damage keeps spreading for days after the initial incident. Every hour of delay means higher repair costs and more extensive damage. We stop that progression immediately with industrial-grade extraction equipment and strategic drying techniques.
When we’re finished, you’ll walk through your home with one of our technicians for a final inspection. Nothing gets signed off until you’re completely satisfied with the restoration.
We’ve been serving Washington Heights and the greater Milwaukee area for years, and we understand exactly what Wisconsin weather does to homes. From burst pipes during brutal February freezes to basement flooding from those intense summer storms that dump 8+ inches in a few hours, we’ve seen it all.
We’re a local, family-owned business with IICRC-certified technicians who live and work in your community. When you call us, you’re getting neighbors who understand that your home isn’t just property—it’s where your family builds memories.
Our team knows Washington Heights specifically. We understand the older home construction, the soil conditions, and the drainage challenges that make certain areas more flood-prone during Wisconsin’s increasingly intense weather events.
First, we’re on-site within 60 minutes to assess the damage and stop water at its source. Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find every drop of hidden water, even behind walls and under flooring. You’ll know exactly what we found and what needs to happen next.
Next comes water extraction using truck-mounted pumps and portable units that remove thousands of gallons per hour. We set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers strategically throughout your home to create optimal drying conditions. This isn’t guesswork—we monitor moisture levels daily until everything meets industry standards.
The final phase covers repairs and restoration. We replace damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation, then paint and finish everything to match your existing home. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you updated on progress.

Your water damage restoration includes complete water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, and repairs to return your home to pre-damage condition. We handle insurance paperwork, take photos for your claim, and work directly with adjusters to streamline the process.
Washington Heights homes face unique challenges during Wisconsin’s severe weather seasons. The area’s mix of older and newer construction means we often deal with everything from century-old basements that flood during heavy rains to modern homes with burst pipes from rapid temperature changes. Our team knows how to handle both.
We also provide emergency board-up services, content cleaning and restoration, and temporary storage for your belongings during the restoration process. If your home isn’t livable during repairs, we’ll help coordinate temporary housing arrangements with your insurance company.
Call immediately—within the first hour if possible. Water damage spreads rapidly, and mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in Wisconsin’s humid conditions. Every hour of delay increases both the extent of damage and your total repair costs.
The sooner we start extraction and drying, the more of your belongings and building materials we can save. What might be a $3,000 repair today could become a $15,000 rebuild if you wait until tomorrow. Wisconsin’s climate makes this timeline even more critical because of our humidity levels and temperature fluctuations.
Coverage depends on the source of water damage and your specific policy terms. Sudden, accidental damage like burst pipes or appliance failures is typically covered. Gradual leaks, sewer backups, or flood damage usually require separate coverage.
We work directly with insurance companies and know exactly how to document damage for maximum claim approval. Our team will take detailed photos, create moisture maps, and provide the technical documentation adjusters need. We can even bill your insurance directly in many cases, so you don’t have to pay out of pocket upfront.
The key is calling us quickly so we can properly document the initial damage before starting any work.
We handle all categories of water damage, from clean water pipe breaks to contaminated sewer backups. This includes basement flooding, burst pipes, appliance leaks, roof leaks, storm damage, and sewage overflows. Each type requires different safety protocols and restoration approaches.
Clean water damage from supply lines is the simplest to restore. Gray water from appliances or sump pump failures requires additional sanitization. Black water from sewage or flooding needs specialized containment and disposal procedures to protect your family’s health.
Our IICRC-certified technicians are trained in all water damage categories and follow strict safety protocols for each situation. We’ll explain exactly what type of damage you’re dealing with and what that means for the restoration process.
Drying typically takes 3-5 days, but total restoration time depends on the extent of damage. A small pipe leak might be complete in a week, while major basement flooding could take 2-3 weeks including repairs and reconstruction.
Wisconsin’s weather affects drying times significantly. High humidity in summer or heating system complications in winter can extend the process. We use commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to create optimal drying conditions regardless of outside weather.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and update you daily on progress. Our goal is to get you back in your home safely as quickly as possible without cutting corners that could cause problems later.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Washington Heights and the greater Milwaukee area. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. We typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call, even on weekends and holidays.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction, source identification and shutdown, and temporary protection measures like tarping or board-up services. We’ll stabilize the situation first, then develop a comprehensive restoration plan.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling because we know that quick response dramatically reduces total damage and restoration costs. The difference between calling at midnight versus waiting until morning can save thousands in repairs.
First, ensure everyone’s safety by turning off electricity to affected areas if it’s safe to do so. Stop the water source if possible—shut off the main water supply for pipe breaks or turn off appliances for equipment failures. Then call us immediately for professional assessment.
Take photos for insurance documentation, but don’t start cleanup yourself. Moving furniture or attempting to remove water can actually spread contamination or cause additional damage. Professional equipment extracts water much more effectively than household tools.
Avoid walking through standing water, especially if electrical outlets or appliances are nearby. Don’t use regular household fans or heaters for drying—they can actually promote mold growth by spreading moisture around rather than removing it from your home.
