24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Butler, WI
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the side yard always the wet one?
Because two houses drain into it. The lots here are narrow and the buildings sit close, so a strip of ground a few feet wide takes the runoff from one roof plane on each side. It receives far more water per square yard than the front or the back.
Is there room to fix the grading?
Rarely as much as one would like. With buildings that close, there is not the width to build a proper fall away from both walls, so the work is usually about catching the water in a channel and piping it out to the front or the back instead.
Does the neighboring house need to be involved?
Often, and it goes better when that conversation happens first. Half of what lands in that strip comes off their roof, so a downspout extension on their side can be worth more than anything done on this one. It is a shared strip and a shared result.
