Water, Fire & Mold Damage Restoration in Crivitz, WI

Crivitz is a small community in Wisconsin, home to roughly 1,100 residents, and like every community it has its share of burst pipes, basement floods, kitchen fires and hidden mold. Water Restoration gives residents and businesses one number to call for all of it: (888) 755-3821, answered around the clock and routed to a restoration company that serves ZIP code 54114.

Local properties include homes spread across the countryside, many on private wells and septic systems, along with barns, shops and seasonal cabins, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Rural properties bring their own issues: well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, and seasonal homes that sit unheated and unwatched.

Local risks: Crivitz and Marinette County

Crivitz shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Ice dams that back melting snow under shingles and into ceilings and exterior walls
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Spring snowmelt that saturates the soil and seeps into basements and foundations
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Meltwater seepage into foundations each spring
• Attic and ceiling moisture from ice dams and roof condensation

First steps for Crivitz property owners

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

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Crivitz

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

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.
