24/7 Emergency
24/7 Emergency Water Extraction in Neenah, 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
Does de-icing cable solve ice dams?
It manages them rather than solves them. The cable melts a path through the ice so that water at the eave has somewhere to run, which prevents the worst backups. It does nothing about the heat loss into the roof space that is melting snow higher up, which is where the dam comes from.
What are the drawbacks of heating cable?
The fastenings and the false confidence. Every clip is a small hole in the covering along the most exposed course of the roof, and the cables age and fail in sections without anybody noticing. A household that has cable frequently stops watching the eaves at all.
What deals with the cause?
Air sealing and insulation at the ceiling, and ventilation above it. The dam forms because heat from the house melts snow on the upper roof and the water refreezes at the cold eave. Keeping the roof deck cold is the actual fix, and it makes the cable unnecessary rather than merely supplemented.
