Learn about storm damage →What Damages Property in Shorewood and the East Side
A combined sewer carries sewage and stormwater in one pipe. When a storm fills it, the overflow can come back up through basement floor drains, which means the water is contaminated and needs disinfection as well as drying. On July 22, 2010, 8.5 inches of rain fell on Shorewood in eight hours, causing basement back-ups and street flooding, and the Atwater bluff collapsed.
Near the lake and around UWM, water can also come from ordinary causes: burst pipes in unheated spaces during deep cold, roof leaks and ice dams, and failed appliance lines. We map moisture with meters and thermal imaging so drying reaches wall cavities and floors, not just surfaces.
How We Handle Losses in Shorewood and the East Side
Shorewood and the East Side face heavy rain, combined sewer surcharges, deep winter cold and lake-effect weather, any of which can put water inside a building.
Mold usually follows water in Shorewood and the East Side 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 Shorewood and the East Side 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.
