SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County was called to a home after a highly caustic chemical was accidentally spilled in a walk in closet. The homeowner dropped the bottle and the chemical spilled all over.  

SERVPRO has the experience you need to properly clean up almost every spill. We take the time to research each chemical we are asked to clean up if we aren't familiar with it in order to avoid any additional problems. This particular chemical was extremely difficult to clean up and our hard work did get rid of the chemical but the floor damage was not able to be reversed. This floor will have to be taken out and replaced in order to get rid of the damage. You can trust that SERVPRO will handle any hazardous job with knowledge, skill and understanding that will leave your home or business safe.

An overflowing toilet caused significant water damage to this home in New Berlin, WI.  Because this was contaminated water, all the porous materials that came in contact with the water had to be thrown away or replaced.

A home in Helenville, WI that had a flood in their basement had water enter in from their exposed entrance.  They also had a secondary kitchen with hardwood floors that get wet.  SERVPRO was called to inspect.  This picture shows the "cupping" of the floor.  Even though SERVPRO has the equipment to dry hardwood floor, this flooring was beyond repair and had to be removed.  SERVPRO's technicians have the training and experience to help determine if and when materials can be salvaged or not.  In this case, the charge and cost to the customer to try and save this floor would not be worth it.  The technicians at were able to remove the hardwood floor safely and efficiently in order to dry the structure so replacement floor could be installed.

SERVPRO of SW Waukesha County was called out to this property in Brookfield, WI because heavy rain from a storm caused water to back up into the basement.  This was not a small job.  The entire partially finished basement was filled with water.  This job required many different types and pieces of equipment.  

The water needs a place to drain and since there was no floor drain close to the dehumidifiers, we needed to use a water receptacle, a shelf to stack the equipment, axial fans to concentrate air straight down and standard fans to concentrate air across the floor.  This particular structure was dry within 4 days.
