You walk back into a space that feels like home again. No lingering moisture smell. No warped floors or soggy drywall. No wondering if mold is growing behind your walls.
That’s what happens when water removal is done right the first time. Your basement becomes usable again. Your belongings get saved instead of thrown away. Your insurance claim moves smoothly because everything was documented properly from day one.
The stress lifts because you know the job was handled by people who’ve seen it all before and know exactly how to fix it.
We understand what Menomonee River Valley homeowners face. We’ve seen how quickly the river can rise during heavy rains, just like the record-breaking floods in August 2025 that caught so many people off guard.
We’re not some big franchise that treats every job the same. We know the local soil conditions, the older foundation issues in this area, and how Wisconsin’s humidity makes mold a serious concern after any water event.
Our team has been helping neighbors in Menomonee River Valley recover from water damage for years. We work directly with your insurance company and understand the local building codes that matter for proper restoration.
First, we stop the source if it’s still flowing and assess what can be saved versus what needs to go. No guesswork—we use moisture meters to find hidden water you can’t see.
Next comes extraction. We bring in powerful pumps and truck-mounted units that pull thousands of gallons per hour. Then we set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry out everything properly, including inside wall cavities.
We monitor moisture levels daily until everything reads completely dry. Finally, we sanitize all affected areas and document everything for your insurance. You get a detailed report showing the work was done to industry standards.

Every water removal job includes 24/7 emergency response, complete water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, and antimicrobial treatment. We handle the insurance paperwork and provide detailed photo documentation of the damage and restoration process.
In Menomonee River Valley, we see a lot of basement flooding from groundwater intrusion and sump pump failures, especially during Wisconsin’s spring thaw and heavy summer storms. Our equipment is specifically chosen to handle the clay soil conditions common in this area that can hold water against foundations.
We also coordinate with local plumbers and electricians when needed, so you’re not juggling multiple contractors. One call handles everything from initial water removal through final restoration.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and can typically be on-site within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with water damage—every hour that water sits increases the damage and the chance of mold growth.
Our trucks are stocked with extraction equipment, so we start removing water immediately upon arrival. We don’t need to go back to the shop for equipment or wait for another crew to bring the right tools.
For Menomonee River Valley residents, we understand that basement flooding often happens during storms when other services might be overwhelmed. That’s why we maintain multiple crews and equipment sets ready to deploy.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like burst pipes, appliance leaks, or storm damage. However, gradual leaks or flood damage from external sources typically require separate flood insurance.
We work directly with insurance companies and can help determine coverage before starting work. Our technicians document everything with photos and moisture readings that insurers need for claims processing.
We’ll also provide a detailed estimate upfront so you know what to expect. Many of our Menomonee River Valley clients have found that professional water removal actually saves them money by preventing more extensive damage that would cost much more to repair later.
Water removal is the immediate emergency response—extracting standing water, removing wet materials, and starting the drying process. This typically takes 3-5 days depending on how much water and what materials were affected.
Water damage restoration comes after everything is completely dry. This includes rebuilding walls, replacing flooring, repainting, and returning your space to pre-loss condition. Restoration can take weeks depending on the extent of damage.
We handle both phases. We start with emergency water removal to stop further damage, then transition to full restoration once everything is properly dried and sanitized. This keeps you working with one trusted team throughout the entire process.
Mold prevention starts with fast water removal and proper drying. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, so speed is essential. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to reduce humidity levels below 50% where mold cannot thrive.
We also apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces and monitor moisture levels in walls and subfloors using specialized meters. Nothing gets signed off as complete until moisture readings are back to normal levels.
Wisconsin’s naturally humid climate makes this especially important. We’ve seen too many DIY water cleanup attempts fail because homeowners don’t have the equipment to properly dry hidden moisture in wall cavities and under flooring. That hidden moisture always leads to mold problems later.
It depends on how long the water sat and what type of water was involved. Clean water from a burst pipe caught within hours often allows us to save hardwood floors through specialized drying techniques.
We use floor drying systems that create suction under the flooring to pull moisture out without removing the boards. We also inject warm, dry air into the subfloor cavity to accelerate drying from underneath.
However, if contaminated water was involved or the floors stayed wet for more than 24 hours, replacement is usually necessary for health and safety reasons. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations about what can realistically be saved versus what needs replacement.
First, ensure your safety—shut off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from the main panel. Don’t walk through standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged.
Stop the water source if possible, like shutting off the main water valve for burst pipes. Then call us immediately for emergency water removal. Take photos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling professionals to start water extraction.
Don’t try to clean up extensive water damage yourself. Home shop vacuums and fans aren’t powerful enough to properly extract water and dry structural materials. Inadequate drying leads to mold growth, wood rot, and much more expensive repairs later. Professional equipment makes the difference between a successful restoration and ongoing problems.
