Is insurance usually required for these types of services?

Depending on the unique circumstances surrounding both type and severity levels associated thereof service needs, insurance might not always be essential.

How can I tell if a weather related claim is covered under my insurance policy?

It depends on the specifics of your policy and what type of coverage you have. Generally, most policies cover damage that results from very specific types of events like hail or windstorms. If in doubt it’s best to contact your insurer directly for more information about potential coverage.

How often should I check my policy details?

You should review your insurance documentation each time a change is made or at least annually in order to ensure that it meets all applicable state laws and regulations. Additionally, if there are changes within your company’s operations or area of operation (such as acquiring new property) then those matters need immediate attention so that any necessary adjustments can be made quickly an efficiently without delay.

When damage goes beyond routine cleanup, our specialty services help you recover. That includes damage serious enough to need rebuilding, snow or storm damage that leaves your home open, and soot or debris trapped in your ductwork.

Wausau's long, snowy winters raise the stakes, especially for the older homes of the Andrew Warren, East Hill, and Highland Park districts. We also handle trauma and biohazard cleanup, hoarding cleanup, packout, and vehicle impact repair.

Does Your Wausau Home Need More Than a Cleanup? Our team answers 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call now!

Reconstruction Services

Serious storm, water, or fire damage often calls for structural repair, not just cleanup. That's especially true in the Andrew Warren Historic District, with homes built between 1870 and 1934, and in the East Hill and Highland Park districts, where original woodwork, plaster, and details need careful handling.

Our home reconstruction services take you from cleanup through rebuild with one team. We guide you through the assessment, help with material selection, and complete the repairs, so the finished work fits the character of your home.

Tarping & Board-Up

Emergency tarping and board-up keeps the weather out until permanent repairs can begin. In Wausau, heavy snow, ice, and summer storms can bring mature trees down onto roofs, especially in older, tree-lined neighborhoods.

An open roof or broken window lets in more snow, meltwater, and cold every hour it stays exposed. Our team covers damaged roofs and boards up broken windows and doors to secure your home. That protection keeps the belongings inside safe while you plan next steps.

Packout & Content Management

After a fire, flood, or smoke event, the damage to a Wausau home often reaches well beyond walls and floors. Furniture, clothing, electronics, family photos, and everyday belongings can keep deteriorating if they stay in the affected space. Packout and content management services give homeowners a way to move those items out while cleanup and repairs are underway. This can be especially helpful for older homes near the Wisconsin River and downtown neighborhoods, as well as properties across Marathon County where basements and lower levels take on water. Work may include inventory and transport, climate-controlled storage, and cleaning or deodorization before items come home.

Why Choose ServiceMaster Recovery by Restoration Holdings – Wausau for Specialty Services

Experience With Older Homes

We match repairs to the materials and construction of historic houses, from original plaster to period woodwork. Older homes need a different approach than new builds, and generic fixes can erase their character.

One Team From Cleanup to Rebuild

We handle cleanup and reconstruction together, keeping your project moving under one coordinated plan. Fewer handoffs mean less stress for your family and a faster return to your home.

Fast Home Securing

We can tarp and board up your home within hours, even in winter conditions. Speed matters, because an open roof or window lets in more damage with every storm that passes.

Cleaner Indoor Air

Our HEPA-filtered duct cleaning removes soot, dust, and debris from your system. Without it, dirty ducts keep spreading contaminants through your rooms every time the heat runs.

Why Specialty Restoration Can't Wait in Wausau Homes

Within hours: weather gets in. Snow, meltwater, and cold keep reaching exposed rooms, damaging floors, walls, and belongings that escaped the first hit.

Within days: damage sets deeper. Moisture, odor, and soot absorb into plaster, wood, and ductwork. What could have been cleaned now has to be replaced, and the smoke smell lingers every time the furnace kicks on.

Beyond a week: recovery gets costlier. Frozen pipes, mold growth, and a growing rebuild scope can turn a manageable repair into a major project that keeps you out of your home longer.

The sooner you call for specialty services, the sooner your family is back home, warm, and settled.

What to Do Immediately After a Specialty Loss in Your Wausau Home

1

Step 1

Ensure Everyone's Safety

Stay away from damaged roofs, fallen trees, and downed power lines. If the structure feels unsafe, get everyone out, including pets, and wait for professionals to assess the risk.
2

Step 2

Shut Off Utilities if Needed

If you can reach them safely, turn off water and power to affected areas. This helps prevent more flooding, electrical hazards, and damage spreading to rooms that are still dry.

Step 3

Document Everything for Insurance

Take photos and video of the damage and your belongings before moving or throwing anything away. Clear records support your claim and help you account for every loss.
