Don't wait — water intrusion causes mold within 24-48 hours
Storm damage to your Green Bay property creates a rapidly deteriorating situation that becomes exponentially more expensive and dangerous with each passing hour. The combination of Lake Michigan's moisture-rich air and Wisconsin's temperature fluctuations accelerates damage progression, making immediate professional intervention critical.
Within 1 Hour: Water begins penetrating subflooring, insulation, and wall cavities. Green Bay's humid climate near the bay accelerates absorption rates, causing materials to become saturated faster than in drier climates.
Within 24 Hours: Mold spores begin colonizing wet materials throughout your home. Wisconsin's varying temperatures and humidity create ideal conditions for rapid mold growth, especially in basements and lower levels common to Green Bay homes.
Within 48 Hours: Structural wood begins warping and losing integrity. Drywall deteriorates rapidly, requiring replacement rather than repair. The musty odor of mold becomes noticeable as colonies establish themselves in your home's building materials.
Within 72 Hours: Mold growth becomes visible to the naked eye. Metal components start showing signs of corrosion from moisture exposure. Restoration costs typically increase 2-3 times compared to immediate response.
Within 1 Week: Widespread contamination creates potential health hazards for your family. Structural repairs become necessary as damage extends beyond surface materials into the building's framework.

Green Bay's unique position on the shores of Green Bay and Lake Michigan creates some of Wisconsin's most challenging weather conditions for property owners. The city's location in northeastern Wisconsin places it directly in the path of severe weather systems that develop over the Great Lakes, resulting in intense storms, lake-effect precipitation, and damaging winds that regularly impact properties from the East Side to Allouez and throughout Brown County.
The diverse neighborhoods throughout Green Bay — from the historic downtown district near the Fox River to the residential areas surrounding the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, from the East Side communities near the bay to the West Side developments near Lambeau Field — each face distinct storm damage challenges. Properties in the Bay Area neighborhoods often experience more severe wind damage due to their exposure to lake-effect winds, while homes in the Fox River valley may face flooding risks during severe storm events. The established neighborhoods around De Pere and Ashwaubenon frequently deal with tree damage from the mature canopy that makes these areas so desirable.
Allied Emergency Services has extensive experience serving Green Bay families and businesses, understanding the local weather patterns, building characteristics, and insurance requirements specific to Brown County and northeastern Wisconsin. Whether your property is located near the National Railroad Museum, in the Bellevue area, or anywhere throughout the greater Green Bay metropolitan area, our teams are familiar with the local building codes, permitting processes, and the specific challenges posed by Wisconsin's climate extremes.
The seasonal weather patterns that bring beautiful Wisconsin summers and the excitement of Packers season also bring severe thunderstorm activity from April through September, with peak severe weather occurring during late spring and summer months. Lake Michigan's influence creates additional complexity, with lake-effect storms that can produce intense localized damage and rapidly changing conditions. Our local expertise means we understand exactly what types of damage to look for after the storms that regularly impact the Green Bay area, from waterfront properties to inland communities throughout Brown County.

Green Bay's location on Lake Michigan has resulted in numerous significant weather events that demonstrate the importance of professional storm damage restoration services.
Derecho Storm System: The August 10, 2020 derecho brought sustained winds over 80 mph across northeastern Wisconsin, causing widespread damage throughout Green Bay. The storm knocked down hundreds of trees, damaged roofing systems across the city, and left many neighborhoods without power for extended periods. Properties near the bay experienced additional damage from wind-driven water.
Severe Hailstorm: A supercell thunderstorm produced tennis ball to softball-sized hail across parts of Green Bay and Brown County, causing millions of dollars in damage to vehicles, roofing systems, and siding. The storm demonstrated how quickly severe weather can develop over Lake Michigan and move inland with devastating intensity.
Flash Flooding Event: Heavy rains overwhelmed drainage systems throughout Green Bay, causing significant flooding in low-lying areas and near the Fox River. Many homes experienced basement flooding and water damage, highlighting the importance of immediate water extraction and drying services.
Straight-Line Wind Event: Severe thunderstorms produced damaging straight-line winds that toppled trees and caused significant property damage throughout the Green Bay metro area. The storm affected everything from downtown properties to suburban neighborhoods, requiring extensive cleanup and restoration services.
Extreme Ice Storm: A significant ice storm coated the Green Bay area with over an inch of ice, causing widespread tree damage, power outages, and roof damage from falling branches. The storm highlighted how Wisconsin's winter weather can be just as damaging as summer storms.
These events illustrate the diverse weather challenges facing Green Bay property owners and the critical importance of having access to professional storm damage restoration services. Lake Michigan's influence on local weather patterns creates unique conditions that can generate severe storms with little warning. When severe weather strikes Green Bay again, will you be prepared with a trusted restoration partner?
The moments immediately following storm damage to your Green Bay property are crucial for preventing secondary damage that often exceeds the cost of the original storm damage. Understanding what to do—and what not to do—can save you thousands of dollars and protect your family's health and safety in Green Bay's challenging climate conditions.
Immediate Safety Assessment: Before entering damaged areas of your property, conduct a thorough safety evaluation. Look for sagging ceilings, exposed electrical wiring, gas line damage, or structural instability. Green Bay's older homes may have additional vulnerabilities, so exercise extreme caution. If you detect gas odors or see electrical hazards, evacuate immediately and contact emergency services.
Document Everything Before Moving Items: Use your smartphone or camera to thoroughly document all damage from multiple angles before touching or moving anything. Take wide shots showing the overall damage and close-ups of specific items and structural damage. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims and can be lost once cleanup begins. Green Bay's insurance market requires detailed documentation for storm damage claims.
Stop Water Intrusion Immediately: If it's safe to do so, cover broken windows with plastic sheeting or plywood and place tarps over roof damage to prevent additional water intrusion. Move valuable items away from active leaks, but do not attempt repairs involving ladders or roof access during dangerous conditions. Professional emergency services can safely secure your property even in challenging weather.
Contact Your Insurance Company Promptly: Report your storm damage claim as soon as possible, typically within 24-48 hours of the event. Provide them with your preliminary documentation and obtain a claim number. Ask about coverage for emergency repairs and temporary living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable. Insurance companies serving the Green Bay market expect prompt notification of storm damage.
Begin Water Removal Carefully: If you have standing water, start removal as soon as it's safe to do so using mops, towels, and wet/dry vacuums for manageable amounts. However, significant water intrusion requires professional-grade extraction equipment to prevent mold growth in Green Bay's humid conditions. Never use regular household vacuum cleaners on standing water.
Promote Air Circulation: Open windows and doors when outdoor conditions are favorable to increase airflow and promote drying. Use fans strategically to circulate air, but avoid using fans if you suspect mold contamination, as this can spread harmful spores throughout your home.
Professional Assessment is Essential: While these immediate steps help minimize damage, professional restoration companies have specialized equipment and expertise that homeowners cannot replicate. Moisture detection equipment, commercial-grade dehumidifiers, and professional assessment techniques are necessary to identify hidden damage that commonly occurs in wall cavities, subflooring, and other concealed areas.
Don't Delay Professional Help: Green Bay's climate conditions make professional intervention even more critical than in drier climates. Many homeowners underestimate the extent of damage and attempt DIY restoration, only to discover weeks later that mold has developed or structural damage is more severe than initially apparent. Professional restoration contractors understand Wisconsin's building codes, climate challenges, and insurance requirements.
Remember: Your insurance policy likely requires you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Professional emergency services meet this requirement while ensuring your safety and proper restoration procedures.
