Reconstruction in Franklin
Southeast Wisconsin rebuilds after more than water: tornado damage in Racine County, lakeshore storms in Pleasant Prairie and Racine, and summer storms across the lake towns. 911 Restoration of Southeast Wisconsin handles reconstruction in Franklin, Racine, Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie and Bristol, Oak Creek, Caledonia and Franksville, Sturtevant, Muskego, New Berlin, Brookfield and Elm Grove, Waukesha, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc and Okauchee, Delafield and Hartland, Mukwonago and Big Bend, Burlington and Waterford, Lake Geneva, and Twin Lakes and Salem, so the crew that dries your property can also rebuild it.
Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Southeast Wisconsin provides reconstruction after water, fire, storm and mold losses: drywall, flooring, framing, roofing repairs, cabinets and paint, handled by the same local team as the cleanup, with a typical 45-minute arrival in Franklin, Racine, Oak Creek, Waukesha and nearby towns. Call (262) 294-6366.
What Rebuilding Involves in This Part of Wisconsin
Storm and tornado repairs
Storms on April 17, 2026 crushed a greenhouse at a Caledonia farm, damaged a barn roof and dropped a tree on a house, and the National Weather Service confirmed five tornadoes in Racine County that night. Rebuilding after wind means tarping, structural checks, roof and sheathing repair, then interior finishes once the shell is dry.
Foundation and basement walls under water pressure
In Muskego in August 2025, flooding collapsed several basement walls near Saroyan Road and Fennimore Lane. Saturated soil pushes on foundation walls, so we have the wall and floor assessed before finishing anything, then rebuild with moisture in mind.
Lakeshore and river-edge damage
The January 2020 lakeshore storm destroyed part of a backyard in Pleasant Prairie, and the village deemed a partly destroyed home uninhabitable. Rebuilds near water start with structure and drying, and finishes come last.
How We Handle Reconstruction in Franklin
- Call (262) 294-6366. We learn what was damaged, whether the building is dry and who is handling the claim, then schedule a site visit.
- A project manager walks every affected room, checks framing, subfloor and basement walls for moisture or movement, and flags anything needing an engineer.
- You receive a written scope and a sequence for demolition, structural repair, mechanical and electrical, then finishes.
- Our crews rebuild walls, floors, ceilings, cabinets and trim, with moisture readings taken before anything is closed in.
- We finish with paint and flooring, a walkthrough with you, and photo documentation for your adjuster.

Signs a Loss Needs Rebuilding, and What to Do First
- Drywall that crumbles, bows or stays soft after drying
- Warped or lifting flooring over a basement or crawl area
- Roof sheathing or ceilings stained after a storm
- Cracks, bowing or new gaps in a basement wall
- Doors and windows that stick after water or frost movement
- Charred or smoke-stained framing after a fire
Keep the area dry and ventilated, photograph the damage before anything is moved, and avoid closing in wet walls. Then call (262) 294-6366 and we will inspect, tell you what needs replacing and what can be saved, and build a plan around your claim.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
Rebuilding here follows the weather: wind and tornado repairs in Racine County, waves and erosion along the lakeshore, groundwater pressing on basement walls in river towns, and frozen lines in lake homes left cold over winter. The same trades are involved, but the sequence changes with the cause.
Because our reconstruction crews work from the same file as the dry-out team, they start with the moisture readings, photos and scope already in hand. That avoids duplicate estimates and keeps the schedule moving.
What We Rebuild
- Drywall, insulation and framing
- Subfloors and finished flooring
- Basement finishes and stairs
- Roof sections, sheathing and ceilings
- Kitchens, baths and cabinetry
- Doors, windows and trim
- Interior and exterior paint
- Lake and seasonal home repairs
Insurance and Documentation for Reconstruction
We provide Direct Insurance Coordination from first photo to final invoice, with scopes and records your adjuster can use. In Wisconsin, sewer backup and sump pump overflow need a special endorsement, and flood is typically not covered by homeowner's policies, so confirm what your policy includes before the scope is approved.
