Portable ozone generators like this one from a job in Middleton, WI, eliminates a variety of odors caused by animals, cigarette smoke, mold and mildew, fire, and water damage. This machine generates “ozone”, which consists of unstable oxygen molecules (containing three oxygen atoms). Ozone chemically reacts with odor-causing molecules to oxidize residues and remove the odors. Once the deodorization process is complete, ozone quickly reverts to the typical oxygen molecule, leaving no residues.

Often times pipes break, sinks overflow and dishwashers leak.

Thank you, Brandon! 

If I could rate this company and the owners higher than a 5 star I would. I lost my home to a house fire and about the only thing I was able to retrieve was a oil painting of my father. It smelled awful so I turned to Heather at SERVPRO of Dane County West in Verona. She was able to get the smell out after using their ozone chamber. So thankful for her efforts and unbelievable customer service. Highly recommend to anyone that needs fire or water restoration.

SERVPRO of Dane County West and the owners Jim and Heather have done a wonderful job for the many clients I have referred to them. "Responsive", " so helpful and kind", and "hard working" are just a few of the comments I have received about their service. SERVPRO usually shows up when life is stressful--flooding, mold, fire--not fun stuff...I cannot think of better people to call than Jim and Heather when life throws you a curve ball. Highly recommend their service.

After a leak in our refrigerator, we were so thankful that SERVPRO of Dane County West came, pulled out the damaged flooring, and got fans and dehumidifiers going to dry any remaining water.  After my children accidentally changed the settings on the dehumidifier, they promptly returned my phone call to talk me through resetting the machine.  Very friendly and helpful, and worked seamlessly with our insurance agent. Thank you!

I was extremely satisfied with the work performed by SERVPRO of Dane County West at my residence.  Their first visit was to resolve water related issues to carpet and drywall.  The staff was fast, efficient, polite and friendly.  The second visit was to put everything back in order: drywall replacement, carpet pad, touch-up paint and furniture return. 

I don't wish a bad situation on anyone but if one occurs, I highly recommend calling SERVPRO of Dane County West.  When I called my insurance company to report the incident, the first thing they said was to call SERVPRO.  I told them I already did.  I don't know if all SERVPRO offices are this good but SERVPRO of Dane County West is.  Thank you to all.  

My experience with SERVPRO of Dane County West was outstanding. Imagine coming home on a Saturday to the most horrific sewer smell coming from my basement only to discover that the septic had backed up into our home from the storm. The SERVPRO owners sent 2 professionals over and had everything cleaned up in a matter of hours. They worked extremely hard and efficiently in some disgusting conditions and in addition to all of that they were polite and showed concern for our home.  When we received our bill it had a hand written note from the franchise owner. Needless to say I was impressed with the entire experience and would most definitely recommend SERVPRO of Dane County.

SERVPRO of Dane County West was referred to me by my insurance agent when the first floor of my house flooded. The technicians who came in to diagnose the problem were very professional, knowledgeable and proactive. They deployed many dryers and removed many old, damaged layers of flooring in my kitchen. When they left, the job site (my precious kitchen!) was very clean. The owner was onsite supervising and was very helpful and knowledgeable coordinating with my insurance company. I love that the owners are involved in the community and local chambers. Strongly recommend their services!

A Verona, WI residence had a sump pump fail causing extensive loss. Over a foot of rain in six hours on August 20 caused the pump to fail consequently flooding the basement and ruining fifteen hundred feet of carpet. SERVPRO of Dane County West mitigated the water damage by removing the carpet and pad, removing baseboard and drilling holes in the drywall to allow ventilation into drywall. We positioned fans and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture content to acceptable levels.

Our hearts are heavy for losses in the community we work, love, and live in. Be safe out there!

Visible mold growth was found on the concrete walls and wood subfloor of this basement room in Fitchburg, WI.  We remediated the mold and disinfected the area thoroughly.  We instructed the home owner to increase air circulation and to use dehumidification to prevent any further microbial growth.

We were called out to this residence in New Glarus, WI, because heavy rains caused seepage into the original part of the house causing water damage to this three-season porch that a builder was in the process of adding. One of the unique ways we dealt with this loss was by coming from the outside of the house and cutting away some sheathing to remove wet blown-in insulation. We also needed to dry hardwood floors and used a tenting method as seen in the after picture to dry the hardwood floors. This technique allowed us to save the hardwood floors.

Due to extensive water damage from a broken supply line in this kitchen in Oregon, WI, existing cabinets were damaged beyond repair. We needed to remove and replace the granite countertops as well as provide and install several new kitchen cabinets. Dane County West Professionals were able to mitigate all water damage behind cabinets and in the floor by using advanced water drying technologies.
The Professionals at SERVPRO of Dane County West can simplify the restoration process by handling both the initial damage mitigation and rebuilding the affected areas. Having one qualified company for the entire process can save time and keeps costs low.

This was a broken spigot in Fitchburg, WI due to subzero temperatures during this past winter. Upon attempting to fill their pool the owner’s basement flooded with water. We extracted the water and removed the carpet and ended up having to move quite a bit of drywall and cabinets that were affected as well.

This is a fire that started in an apartment behind a popular restaurant in Verona. The apartment structure was a total loss but the restaurant was affected by both smoke damage and water damage from the fire hoses. We are working to make sure that the restaurant structure is cleaned and repaired so they can reopen as soon as possible.

We are using Air Filtration Devices (AFD) as well as hydroxyl generators to both clean the air and remove as much odor as possible.

As with most fires, extensive water mitigation from putting the fire out as well as content manipulation and rebuilds are common.

This is a water loss in Middleton due to a spigot that had split during sub-zero temperatures this past winter. Often times these problems are not discovered until the spring when the homeowner turns on their hoses to start watering plants and lawn. Water ran down through the ceiling and down the walls and affected the flooring in the basement. SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals removed the affected flooring to dry the subfloor below and removed the drywall in the wall due to the blown in insulation behind it. Once blown in insulation gets wet it compresses and loses its effectiveness. Rebuild is in process.

This was a water loss in Oregon, Wisconsin. A walk-in shower had cracks in the grout lines leading to water leaking through the shower pan and into the ceiling and room below. Unfortunately, this problem was not diagnosed right away and went on for quite some time. Mitigation required removing drywall and insulation that had been affected. Once those materials were removed we then set up an appointment to dry the sub-floor and floor joists.

SERVPRO of Dane County West was able to extract over and inch of standing water in an unfinished basement in Verona, WI.  Using the portable extractor, we were able to remove over 100 gallons of water from the structure. 

An extractor has three major components: a heater, a pump, and a vacuum system. Our technicians use this machine for variable heat-controlled cleaning, including to heat the rinse solutions to clean more effectively. The vacuum system and waste recovery tank remove soils and moisture from the surface and collects it in tank.

When the temperatures drop, one major issue that could come up is a frozen water pipe and it’s potential to bust, leading to flooding and water damage in your commercial or residential property.

http://www.SERVPROdanecountywest.com/water-damage-restoration

Frozen pipes are a problem for a couple of reasons.

• Frozen Pipes Shut Off the Water–
• Burst Pipes Create Flooding-

Pipes That Are Vulnerable to Freezing

• Exterior Walls-  
• Attics and Basements-

There are a few clues which can help you determine if you have frozen pipes at your property:

• The Temperature Is Right- 
• There Is Frost on the Pipe-.
• No Water Is Coming Out of the Faucet-
• Strange Smells- 

Recently in Monticello, WI, SERVPRO of Dane County West was called to a local café to mitigate extensive water damage from flood damage caused by the Sugar River overflow.  The café was next door to the river and despite having a 5-foot berm protecting the structure, water unfortunately still got in.  Up to 8 feet of water flooded their business and SERVPRO of Dane County West is diligently working to make it "Like it never even happened."

A standard toilet has at least five seals with the potential for leaking. In each case, the solution
is to identify the faulty seal and tighten or replace it. Should the leak go unnoticed for many
days, like in this picture above, it’s important to remove the toilet and replace the water
damaged floor.

When water saturates flooring and sub-flooring for an extensive amount of time,
mold and decay is inevitable, as also seen in this picture.

SERVPRO of Dane County West has
the expertise to assess the degree of the water damage and if the flooring is unsalvageable, we
can rebuild your space and make it “Like it never even happened.”

Once the excess water has been removed, the floors and walls may appear dry, but a quick inspection will reveal they are wet to the touch. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and flooring materials, are porous and therefore retain water. After Water Extraction has occurred SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals use advanced industrial drying and dehumidification equipment as seen in the picture above.

SERVPRO of Dane County West Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home or business. We’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.

SERVPRO of Dane County West uses HEPA Industry-Standard Air Scrubbers to handle indoor air quality that’s needed on most restoration jobs.  Jobs that involve sewage, mold, or fire damage clearly involves significant amounts of particulates and smelly gases – a direct result of the damage itself.  In a water damage restoration environment, the high-velocity airflow needed for drying can stir up particles that have settled in carpet or on other materials.  The HEPA 500 can address indoor air quality quickly and efficiently and help restore any environment to a preloss condition.

SERVPRO of Dane County West we utilize the latest in drying technologies to restore damaged materials instead of replacing.  This saves everyone time and money.  One great example of this is the floor drying system we use to save hardwood floors after a water loss.  The attached photo is from a home in Madison, WI that had a water loss.  We were able to save their hardwood floors using our floor drying system that utilizes the power of a high-pressure blower that vacuums water vapor right through the surface of the floor.
