EMS is headquartered at 10629 Widmer Road in Lenexa, which means Johnson County losses get our fastest response of all. Trucks, industrial drying equipment and crews stage here around the clock, covering Lenexa, Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Mission, Leawood, Prairie Village and the rest of the county in minutes, and the wider metro beyond it. Local line: (913) 675-2278. Metro-wide 24/7: (913) 773-6777. We are a mitigation company. We stop the damage, dry and clean the structure, document it, and hand your rebuild contractor a stabilized property with the smallest scope the loss allows. Why we don’t sell the rebuild.

Water damage mitigation in Lenexa and Johnson County

Johnson County water losses split along an age line. East of I-35 — Mission, Merriam, Prairie Village, older Overland Park — the housing is mid-century ranches and split-levels with original supply lines, cast-iron drains and basements finished long after they were poured. West of the interstate — newer Lenexa, Olathe, Shawnee — it is builder-grade PEX manifolds, second-floor laundry rooms and finished lower levels where a failed water heater takes out drywall, carpet pad and cabinetry in one night. Both fail. They just fail differently, and the drying plan for a 1958 plaster ranch is not the plan for a 2004 open-plan two-story. We meter every affected material separately and log daily readings against a material-specific dry standard until every point reaches it — the same method that dried a 25,000 square foot raised floor in place on the Husqvarna Olathe dry-out and brought nine drying chambers to standard in eleven days on the Village Gardens flood. See residential water damage mitigation for homes and commercial water damage mitigation for offices, retail, industrial and multi-family.

Why Johnson County calls Lenexa first

Fastest response in the metro. Everything stages here. A Lenexa dispatch reaches most of Johnson County before water has finished migrating into the wall cavity. Documented for the claim. Daily readings per material, timestamped photographs, and a scope in the format your adjuster reviews. We are a contractor, not a public adjuster — our files are built by someone who used to read them. No rebuild revenue. Every decision about what comes out is one we have no financial stake in.

Frequently asked questions

Are your technicians IICRC certified?

Yes. Emergency Mitigation Services is IICRC Certified Firm #59937490. Our Director of Operations holds all three IICRC Master designations — Master Water Restorer, Master Fire & Smoke Restorer, and Master Textile Cleaner. You can verify us in the IICRC Global Locator by searching ZIP 66215.

How quickly can you get to my property?

We dispatch 24 hours a day from our Lenexa headquarters at 10629 Widmer Road, covering Johnson County and the Kansas City metro. Most Johnson County addresses are within a short drive. Call (913) 675-2278 and we’ll give you a real arrival time for your address.

Do you work with my insurance company?

We document every job to the standard adjusters need: daily moisture readings per material, timestamped photos taken before anything is moved, and a scope written in Xactimate — the platform most carriers use. Our owner and general manager worked as an insurance adjuster before co-founding EMS. We are a contractor, not a public adjuster, so we don’t represent you to your carrier or interpret your policy — but our files are built by someone who used to read them.

Do you also do the repairs after the water damage is cleaned up?

No, and that’s deliberate. We do mitigation only — extraction, drying, removal of what can’t be dried, cleaning, and documentation. When a company that decides what to tear out is the same company that bills to rebuild it, the incentive points one direction. We have no reconstruction revenue riding on our decisions, so we leave as little rebuild as the loss allows. Then a restoration contractor of your choosing takes it from there.

How do you know when my house is actually dry?

Dry to the touch is not dry. Drywall can read normal while the sill plate behind it still holds water. We take daily moisture readings on every affected material against a dry standard specific to that material, and the job is done when every reading reaches standard — not when the surface feels fine. It’s a number in your file, not a judgment call.
