24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Caledonia, WI
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows. Free water is pumped and extracted first, from hard floors and out of carpet and pad, before it climbs further into drywall and subfloor. The wet edge is metered and marked while the water is fresh, and drying equipment goes in the same day, because extraction is where the size of the job is decided.

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
What does a woodpile do to the wall behind it?
Keeps it wet. The stack holds rain and then snow against the siding and shades it from any sun or wind that would dry it, so that stretch of wall stays damp continuously from autumn until the pile comes down in spring.
Why does it matter more here than the rain does?
Because of the duration. Thirty-two inches of rain is not a great deal, and a wall sheds it in hours. A woodpile turns intermittent wetting into six months of constant contact, and that is what actually rots siding and sheathing.
Where should the wood go instead?
Anywhere with a gap behind it. A few inches of clear air between the stack and the wall changes the outcome entirely, and standing it off on rails away from the building is better still. It costs nothing and it is rarely done.
