What happened in Appleton

This Appleton job was approved as private work in August 2026. The crew logged 52 photos across four visits between August 7 and August 18.

The room has wood plank flooring and painted shiplap walls, and low-angle shots across the floor show the boards no longer lying flat. The crew measured the room with a laser distance meter, took the baseboards off to expose the edge of the flooring and subfloor along the walls, and took moisture readings there. A dehumidifier ran in the room, and thermo-hygrometer readings track the humidity from one visit to the next.

Wood floors can sometimes be dried in place when the moisture is caught early and tracked closely.

Work performed

  • Laser measurements of the room
  • Baseboards removed along the floor edge
  • Moisture readings at the flooring and subfloor
  • Dehumidifier drying with humidity tracked over four visits

“I reached out to Jamie when my tenant informed me there was a backup in the drain in the basement. It was not a healthy situation and I knew it had to be taken care of quickly.”

“Our recent experience with CCS dealing with the aftermath of a flood situation falls nothing short of outstanding! From Jamie assessing and coordinating the timely demo, clean up, and sanitation of the affected areas, to being an advocate and intermediary with my insurance company, Jamie certainly…”

“Writing this for my mom who lives in Denmark, WI. “On Tuesday, April 14 my husband and I baled out our flooded basement for 3 hours carrying 5 gallon pails up the basement steps. I looked up Water Damage Restoration and called CCS Property Service LLC.”

“My husband and I noticed mold on a couple of different spots on a baseboard and outlet plugs that were below some windows. We remembered having a great experience from a few years back with Mike Wotruba at CCS about an issue we had going on in our basement, so we gave him a call right away.”

“We recently had our roof done and I wanted a second pair of eyes to ensure no mold was present due to having leaks for some time. Mike Wotruba showed up thankfully after roofing rescheduled twice and he was so accommodating. Super helpful with questions and went above and beyond for me.”

Water damage questions, answered

Does CCS Property Services do water damage in Appleton?

Yes. This project was in Appleton, WI 54915, and our crews work throughout Appleton and the surrounding area. Our Green Bay office is about 23 miles away. This is one of 13 water damage projects we've published from Appleton. Phones are answered 24/7 for emergencies.

What should I do in the first hour after a water leak?

Shut off the water at the main valve if you can, and turn off power to any wet area if it's safe to reach the panel. Move valuables and furniture off wet floors, take photos for insurance, and call a restoration company. Don't use a household vacuum on standing water.

How fast can CCS get to my home?

Phones are answered 24/7. In most cases we can have a crew on site within about an hour of your call for active water emergencies in the Green Bay area.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Wisconsin?

Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or an appliance failure. Damage from long-term leaks or neglect usually isn't covered, and flooding from surface water typically needs separate flood coverage. Sump pump backup is often an add-on endorsement. We document the loss and work directly with your adjuster.

How long does it take to dry out a flooded basement?

Most structures dry in three to five days with professional equipment, depending on how much water there was, what materials got wet and the weather. We check moisture readings daily and only pull equipment when readings confirm it's dry.

Will I get mold after water damage?

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, wood and carpet. Fast extraction and drying is what prevents it, which is why we treat water damage as an emergency.

Do you handle the repairs too?

Yes. We dry out the structure and then rebuild what was removed, so you deal with one company from the first call to the finished room.
