Basement water extraction and carpet drying in Manitowoc

What happened in Manitowoc

CCS answered this water emergency in Manitowoc on July 23, 2025, and took 23 photos over two days.

The water was in a finished basement with berber carpet. On the first day the carpet was pulled back from the walls to the tack strip, and blue air movers were set to blow along the edges. Moisture readings were taken at the base of the walls in each corner.

On July 24 the crew came back for another round. A thermo-hygrometer recorded the conditions in the unfinished utility area by the water lines and drain pipes, where some of the lower wall had been opened. Extraction hoses ran through the room, and the meter was pressed into the carpet and pad across the floor to find the wet spots. A pointer marked damp concrete next to the paneled wall. Taking readings on back-to-back days shows whether the carpet and pad are drying or need to come out.

Water damage questions, answered

Does CCS Property Services do water damage in Manitowoc?

Yes. This project was in Manitowoc, WI 54220, and our crews work throughout Manitowoc and the surrounding area. Our Green Bay office is about 35 miles away. This is one of 2 water damage projects we've published from Manitowoc. 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.

“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.”

“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.”

Sarah R. · Google review · 2026

“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.”
