Burlington, Wisconsin Restoration Services

When water is spreading across a floor, smoke has filled the house or mold has shown up behind a wall, you need a crew in Burlington today, not a callback next week. Water Restoration connects property owners in Burlington and the surrounding Racine County area with local restoration companies that handle water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation and sewage cleanup, 24 hours a day.

Local properties include single-family homes of varying ages, a few apartment and townhome communities, and locally owned businesses, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Crews serving smaller communities typically cover a wider radius, so calling early helps get you on the schedule.

Common property damage problems in Burlington

Property owners in Burlington deal with the same regional risks found throughout Wisconsin. Wisconsin's hard winters freeze pipes and build ice dams, spring melt and intense summer rain flood basements, and many homes have aging sump systems that fail exactly when they are needed most. Problems tend to peak during winter and the spring thaw, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Heavy lake-effect snow loads and the meltwater and ice dams that follow
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Space heater, fireplace and chimney fires during cold weather
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring

What to do right now

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances

Building types, timing and seasonal risk

Every property type in Burlington has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
