Not every flood comes from a storm. A failed valve or a broken water main can put water in the street, and street water can find its way to a basement through foundation cracks, window wells and floor drains. The City of Milwaukee also operates a combined sewer system, so heavy rain can push sewage and stormwater back toward the lowest drain in a building.
Whatever the source, we identify it first. Clean water from a supply line is handled differently from groundwater or sewage, and we match extraction, cleaning and drying to the category of water so contaminated materials come out and the rest dries to verified targets.
How We Handle Losses in Riverwest
Riverwest homes and businesses face storm runoff, sewer surcharges, utility failures in the street and deep winter cold. A basement is the usual place water collects, whichever way it arrives.
Mold usually follows water in Riverwest homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Riverwest usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
