Technician insight
In Milwaukee, the thing that catches most people out with residential water damage restoration is how quickly mold can take hold, especially in older homes common in neighborhoods like Bay View or Riverwest. Our humid continental climate means moisture lingers, and if a basement or wall cavity isn't dried properly after a flood, you can have secondary mold issues within 24-48 hours, which complicates the entire restoration process.
