24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Fond du Lac, 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
How can a well flow without a pump?
Because the water in it is under pressure. The layer it draws from is confined between beds that water cannot pass through, and it is fed from higher ground some distance away, so the pressure pushes the water up the bore and out at the surface.
What happens to an abandoned one?
It usually keeps flowing. Unless a well was properly sealed when it went out of use, and a great many were not, the water carries on coming up at whatever rate it always did, saturating the ground around it indefinitely and quietly.
What is involved in dealing with one?
Proper sealing by a well driller who does that work rather than anything improvised, and there are rules about it for good reason. Capping a flowing well badly can drive the water sideways into the surrounding ground, which makes the situation worse rather than better.
