What Can You Expect When You Work With NorthStar Restoration?
Customers can expect a clear restoration process, an inspection before work begins, help with emergency mitigation, and a service plan based on the damage, access conditions, and property involved. NorthStar Restoration focuses on making disaster recovery easier without relying on exaggerated promises or unsupported ranking claims.
Local Wisconsin Service Knowledge
Different properties present different restoration challenges. Apartments may involve shared walls or narrow access, homes may contain basement or attic damage, and commercial projects may require coordinated work around ongoing business operations.
Complete Mitigation, Cleanup, and Reconstruction
You should not have to arrange separate labor, drying, and general contracting services. NorthStar Restoration can manage the entire physical recovery process from initial water extraction through structural rebuilding.
Clear Assessment and Documentation Process
Project scope and documentation should be reviewed before major restoration work proceeds. The damage assessment considers moisture levels, structural integrity, material contamination, safety factors, labor, equipment, and insurance carrier requirements.
Respectful Property Care
Restoration work should be completed carefully around unaffected areas, contents, shared spaces, and surrounding property. Let the team know about structural concerns, tight access, or specific building requirements before work begins.
Responsible Material Handling
Salvageable items and building materials follow a systematic drying and restoration path, while unsalvageable or contaminated debris is safely removed following local environmental protocols.

Insurance Documentation and Communication
Coverage depends on the cause of the loss and the terms of the policy. Sudden and accidental events may be covered, while flooding, deferred maintenance, or long-term leakage may be handled differently. Your insurer makes the final coverage decision.
NorthStar provides practical insurance claim support by documenting affected areas, taking photos, recording moisture readings, defining the work performed, and communicating with the owner, agent, or adjuster. Before discarding damaged materials, photograph the loss and follow guidance from your insurer and restoration team.

Frequently Asked Questions!
NorthStar Restoration maintains a 24/7 dispatch system. Rapid deployment teams are dispatched immediately to help arrive as quickly as travel and weather conditions permit.
Highly porous items exposed to raw sewage (black water) or heavy fire charring—such as mattresses, unsealed insulation, padded carpets, and ceiling tiles—frequently must be safely removed and replaced rather than restored.
If power must be shut off, if biohazards/sewage are present, or if severe fire smoke affects air quality, temporary relocation is strongly recommended. Our inspectors will advise you on safety conditions during the initial walkthrough.
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like burst pipes), fire, smoke, and storm losses. Gradual maintenance leaks or surface flooding often require specific policy endorsements. We assist directly with claim documentation.
Yes. Mold spores can germinate and begin colonizing damp organic surfaces (like drywall paper and wood subfloors) within 24 to 48 hours of moisture exposure.
Clean water (Category 1) comes from broken freshwater lines. Black water (Category 3) contains raw sewage, bacteria, or floodwater and poses severe health risks, requiring certified biohazard cleaning procedures.
Yes. NorthStar Restoration provides turn-key services, meaning we handle the initial water/fire mitigation as well as the structural rebuilding, drywall repair, painting, and flooring replacement.
If safe, shut off the main water valve or circuit breaker. Do not enter rooms with standing water near electrical outlets, and avoid walking across wet, slick floors.
Most water damage drying projects take between 3 to 5 days of continuous equipment operation, depending on material density and humidity levels.
Yes, using professional thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators that neutralize odor molecules embedded inside porous wall and ceiling materials.
We use truck-mounted extractors, LGR dehumidifiers, high-velocity axial air movers, HEPA air scrubbers, and infrared thermal imaging cameras.
No. NorthStar Restoration manages all debris collection, hauling, and disposal as part of our comprehensive mitigation scope.
We serve Wausau, Green Bay, Appleton, Stevens Point, Marshfield, and surrounding Central/Northern Wisconsin communities.
Yes. Shop-vacs cannot pull bound water out of subfloors, insulation, or drywall cavities, leaving your structure vulnerable to hidden rot and severe mold.
