When water invades your St. Francis home or business, every minute counts. The longer water sits, the deeper it penetrates into flooring, walls, and structural materials—turning a manageable situation into expensive reconstruction.
Our emergency water removal stops this progression immediately. Within hours of our arrival, standing water is extracted, moisture is eliminated, and your property begins the path back to normal. No lingering dampness that breeds mold. No warped floors or weakened foundations.
You get your space back quickly, safely, and without the secondary damage that often costs more than the original problem.
We’ve been serving St. Francis and the greater Milwaukee area as a local, family-owned business. We understand the unique challenges that southeastern Wisconsin properties face—from sudden spring thaws to summer storm surges that can overwhelm drainage systems.
Our team knows St. Francis neighborhoods, understands local building types, and responds fast because we’re right here in your community. When water damage strikes, you’re not waiting for a crew from across the state. You’re getting neighbors who care about getting your life back to normal.
Our water removal process starts the moment you call. We dispatch immediately to your St. Francis location with professional-grade extraction equipment and moisture detection tools.
First, we assess the full scope of water damage, including hidden moisture that standard equipment can’t detect. Then we remove all standing water using powerful pumps and vacuums, followed by strategic placement of industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate trapped moisture from walls, floors, and structural materials.
Throughout the drying process, we monitor moisture levels daily and adjust equipment as needed. Once everything reaches proper dryness standards, we conduct a final inspection to ensure your property is completely restored and protected against mold growth.

Our water removal service includes everything needed to fully restore your St. Francis property. We handle water extraction from all affected areas, structural drying of walls and floors, dehumidification to prevent mold, and complete moisture monitoring until standards are met.
St. Francis properties face specific challenges from the area’s proximity to Lake Michigan and local drainage patterns. Heavy rainfall can quickly overwhelm storm systems, leading to basement flooding and foundation water intrusion. Our team understands these local conditions and adjusts our approach accordingly.
We also provide direct insurance assistance, helping document damage and communicate with your carrier throughout the claims process. This local expertise combined with professional equipment means faster restoration and less disruption to your daily life.
We provide 24/7 emergency water removal response to St. Francis properties. Our team typically arrives within 60-90 minutes of your call, equipped with professional water extraction equipment and moisture detection tools.
Fast response is critical because water damage worsens rapidly. Within the first few hours, water begins penetrating deeper into building materials, and within 24-48 hours, mold can start developing. Our immediate response stops this progression and minimizes both damage and restoration costs.
We maintain emergency equipment ready at all times specifically for these urgent situations, so you’re not waiting for equipment to be gathered or crews to be assembled when every minute matters.
Insurance coverage for water removal depends on the cause of water damage and your specific policy terms. Sudden incidents like burst pipes or appliance failures are typically covered, while gradual leaks or flood damage may not be under standard homeowners policies.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document the damage properly for your claim. Our team understands what insurance adjusters need to see and can provide detailed moisture readings, photos, and restoration plans that support your claim.
We also provide upfront estimates and can work with you on payment options if insurance doesn’t cover the full scope of work needed to properly restore your St. Francis property.
Our complete water removal service includes immediate water extraction using industrial pumps and vacuums, moisture detection in walls and floors using specialized equipment, strategic placement of dehumidifiers and air movers, and daily monitoring until proper dryness levels are achieved.
We also handle content protection by moving salvageable items to safe areas, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth, and complete documentation for insurance purposes. If reconstruction is needed after drying, we coordinate those services as well.
Every St. Francis property receives a customized approach based on the specific water source, affected materials, and building construction. This ensures thorough restoration without unnecessary work or costs.
Most water removal projects in St. Francis take 3-5 days for complete drying, though this varies based on the amount of water, affected materials, and environmental conditions. Water extraction happens immediately, but structural drying requires time to ensure all moisture is eliminated.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to track progress and adjust equipment placement as needed. Rushing this process leads to hidden moisture problems and mold growth later, so we maintain equipment until readings confirm complete dryness.
Throughout the process, we provide daily updates and work to minimize disruption to your routine. Our goal is thorough restoration in the shortest time possible while ensuring no moisture-related problems develop after we leave.
Yes, proper water removal and drying prevent mold growth when completed within the critical 24-48 hour window. Our process eliminates the moisture that mold needs to develop and includes antimicrobial treatment of affected surfaces.
Wisconsin’s humidity levels make mold prevention especially important. We use professional-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to create conditions that prevent mold spores from taking hold, even in typically damp areas like basements.
If water damage has been present longer or mold is already visible, we can address remediation as part of the restoration process. The key is acting quickly and using proper equipment—not just fans and household dehumidifiers that can’t handle the scope of moisture removal needed.
We work with all major insurance carriers and many regional companies that serve St. Francis homeowners and businesses. Our team understands different insurers’ requirements and can adapt our documentation and communication accordingly.
We provide detailed moisture readings, photographic documentation, and written reports that insurance adjusters need to process claims efficiently. This includes before and after measurements that demonstrate the scope of work completed.
If you’re unsure about coverage or need help navigating the claims process, we can review your policy and provide guidance on what’s typically covered versus what might require separate flood insurance or out-of-pocket payment.
