Water, Fire & Storm Restoration in Wildwood, MO

Hills, woods and wide-open lots

Wildwood sits at the far western edge of St. Louis County, where hills, creek valleys and woodland replace the dense suburbs closer to the city. Many properties are large, with long driveways and houses set far from neighbors. Getting to us from St. Charles takes a trip across the Missouri River on I-64, then out toward the west, and in storm weather the roads can be slow. That distance and terrain shape both the risks and the way we prepare.

Trees, wind and outages

Heavily wooded lots mean trees close to houses. High winds and saturated ground can bring down large limbs or whole trunks, damaging roofs, siding, decks and power lines. Our storm damage service covers roof openings and broken windows with temporary protection, removes the water that came in, and plans permanent repairs. Photograph the tree and the damage before it is moved, and be cautious around any lines that are down. When the structure needs rebuilding, our reconstruction service picks up from there.

When the power goes out, the pump stops

Storms that knock out power can also stop sump pumps right when groundwater rises. A basement that stays dry on a normal day may take on water during a long outage and heavy rain. Our flood and basement service extracts the water and dries the structure. If your home is prone to this, consider a battery backup for the pump, and keep valuables off the floor in a lower level. Our water damage service covers other sources, such as supply failures on a property with a well and a pressure tank.

Wells and rural plumbing

Wells add a few wrinkles, such as a pressure tank in the basement or a pump that can keep running into a broken line. When a pipe breaks, the water does not stop on its own the way it might on a city supply with a main shutoff. Know where the well pump’s breaker is and how to turn it off, then call us. We handle the cleanup and drying once the flow is stopped.

Fireplaces, wood stoves and smoke

A cozy hearth is part of many Wildwood homes, and so is the chance of a chimney flare-up, a flue that backs up or a stove that puffs smoke into a room. The result can be soot over walls and a persistent smell in drapes, rugs and clothing. Our fire and smoke service cleans the building, and contents cleaning works on soft goods and keepsakes. Have your flue inspected before the burning season to lower the odds.

Working with insurance

Larger properties often mean larger claims with several structures. We keep photos and records, and we can work with your carrier and bill them directly. See the insurance page, and the process page for the order of work. If something is happening right now, the emergency page has first steps.
