Storm and Flood Damage in Eau Claire
Water intrusion after heavy rain, wind, hail, or ice events across the Chippewa Valley.
Storms put water into buildings in ways plumbing never does — through roofs, windows, window wells, and saturated ground. The cleanup often has to happen alongside a temporary repair that keeps more water out.
What this service covers
- Water removal after storm intrusion
- Drying of areas affected by roof or window leaks
- Cleanup after window well and egress flooding
- Handling of saturated insulation and materials
- Coordination with temporary protective measures
Common warning signs
- Ceiling stains or drips after a storm
- Water at windows, sills, or egress wells
- Wet insulation in an attic or crawl space
- Water entering where the ground meets the foundation
Typical causes
- Wind-driven rain and roof damage
- Hail damage opening the building envelope
- Ice dams forcing melt backward under shingles
