Servpro Of Southeast Milwaukee County: Damage Restoration in Franklin, WI

The biggest signs include a sudden spike in your water bill without increased usage, warm spots on the floor (if it's a hot water line), the sound of running water when no faucets are on, or damp carpeting and flooring with no visible roof leak. If you notice any of these, it's a good idea to have Servpro come out with moisture meters to check for a slab leak before it causes foundation cracks or mold.

The repeated freeze-thaw cycle causes meltwater to run under garage doors and into gaps in concrete, especially if your garage floor slopes toward the house. That trapped water can soak drywall and saturate the slab. Servpro extracts the standing water, uses floor mats and air movers to dry the concrete and framing, then treats the area with antimicrobials to prevent mold. They also help seal the garage floor and door threshold to reduce future seepage.

Yes, we work directly with most insurance companies in Franklin to help document the damage from ice dam roof leaks. We'll take photos, measure moisture levels in your attic and walls, and provide detailed estimates. This makes the claim process easier and ensures the water staining, soaked insulation, and any ceiling repairs are covered. We can often tarp the roof temporarily if needed to stop more water from coming in while you wait for the insurance adjuster.
