About Wildwood

Wildwood is a city in far western St. Louis County, incorporated on September 1, 1995. It's large, with about 66.7 square miles of land and around 35,400 residents at the 2020 Census. It's also mixed in character: the Census counted about 77% of residents in urban areas and about 23% in rural areas. It borders Chesterfield to the north and Eureka to the south, and it's home to Babler State Park, Rockwoods Reservation and the Al Foster Trail. That size and spread affect water damage calls, because homes can be far apart, so it helps to give clear directions when you call.

Flooded basement cleanup in Wildwood

Many Wildwood homes have basements, and on sloped lots heavy rain can run toward the foundation and find its way in through window wells, cracks and the floor-wall joint. Walk-out basements can take water through doors on the low side. Flooded basement cleanup removes the water, then dries finished walls and floors to prevent mold.

Burst pipe water damage in Wildwood

Larger homes mean longer pipe runs through exterior walls, over garages and into additions, and more places for a pipe to freeze during a cold snap. Pipes serving outbuildings, garages and outdoor spigots are also at risk if they aren't drained before winter. If a pipe splits, shut off the main water first, then see burst pipe water damage.

Sump pump failure water damage in Wildwood

Where a home relies on a sump pump, a failure during a storm can flood a finished lower level within hours. Power outages during storms are one of the most common reasons a pump stops, which makes a battery backup worth considering. See sump pump failure water damage.

Sewage backup cleanup in Wildwood

A sewage backup is hazardous whether the home is connected to a public sewer or a private system. If your property uses a septic system rather than a public sewer, a backup usually points to a problem with the tank or drain field, which a septic professional should inspect. The water inside the home still needs professional cleanup and disinfection. See sewage backup cleanup.

Storm and roof leak water damage in Wildwood

Wooded lots bring falling limbs during high winds, and severe storms bring hail and heavy rain. Both can let water into attics and ceilings. Storm and roof leak water damage restoration dries and repairs the interior once the roof is tarped or repaired.
