Milwaukie sits at the confluence of the Willamette River and Kellogg Creek, which means low-lying areas near the waterfront and the creek corridor carry persistent flood and drainage risk, especially during heavy Pacific Northwest rainfall events. From the historic homes in Milwaukie’s downtown core along Main Street to the mid-century ranch neighborhoods near Ardenwald and the newer multifamily developments that have grown up around the Orange Line MAX station, this city’s building stock spans more than a century of construction. Each era responds differently to water intrusion, and restoration plans must account for those differences.
Lovett Restoration has served Clackamas County properties since 1997. Our Portland Metro headquarters on NE 42nd Ave puts us a short drive from Milwaukie via SE McLoughlin Boulevard, enabling rapid emergency dispatch for both commercial facilities near the industrial areas along the Willamette and residential homeowners throughout the city. Whether a pipe burst has flooded multiple units in a Milwaukie apartment complex or heavy rains have saturated a basement in an older craftsman home, our crews arrive equipped and ready to start extraction immediately.
We specialize strictly in restoration and cleanup. We stop the active damage, contain the hazards, extract the water, and sanitize the environment. We do not perform the subsequent repairs or reconstruction. This focused model means faster dispatch, zero conflicts of interest, and a property handed off clean and dry to your chosen repair contractor, so work can begin without waiting for us to finish a rebuild phase we do not do.
We serve Milwaukie and these nearby Clackamas County communities:
Founded in 1997 by Dale Lovett with one excavator and a dump truck, Lovett has grown into a four-division operation under CEO Gary Cosmer (Partner since 2018). Pacific Northwest properties battle persistent moisture, seasonal flooding, and year-round mold pressure. Every Milwaukie job runs on Toyota Production System and Six Sigma discipline, fast mobilization, tight scope, no surprises.
When water is actively spreading through your Milwaukie property, every minute multiplies the damage. Our 24/7 dispatch model puts fully equipped crews on the road fast, a short drive from our NE 42nd Ave headquarters via SE McLoughlin Blvd.
CEO Gary Cosmer implemented the Toyota Production System and Six Sigma in 2018. For Milwaukie multifamily and commercial property managers, this means minimized tenant displacement and reduced site impact, from first call to project closeout.
Fully licensed (CCB #125507), bonded, and insured. We stand behind every restoration job with a straightforward 1-year workmanship warranty. If something is not right, we make it right, no runaround, no excuses.
A structured, Lean-driven process refined over 28 years, so every emergency response in Milwaukie is predictable, efficient, and thorough.
You call 503.737.8423 day or night. Our dispatch team verifies the Milwaukie location and scope, then immediately mobilizes the nearest available crew. Our Portland Metro headquarters provides efficient access down the SE McLoughlin corridor to Clackamas County.
On arrival, we assess the exact extent of the damage, moisture mapping, visual analysis, and air quality checks where applicable. We deploy physical barriers and negative air pressure systems immediately to isolate affected zones and prevent cross-contamination into clean areas.
Our team deploys industrial-grade vacuum and pumping systems to remove standing water, then sets up commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to pull trapped moisture from framing, subfloor, and wall cavities. We monitor readings continuously until the structure reaches target moisture levels.
We thoroughly sanitize the site, treating biological hazards and eliminating odors with professional-grade deodorization methods. All hazardous debris is cleared and disposed of properly, ensuring a safe environment for tenants, employees, and your repair contractors.
We provide a complete project closeout with documented drying logs and a full accounting of work performed. Your Milwaukie property is clean, dry, and stabilized, ready for your chosen reconstruction contractor to begin repairs without delay.
From industrial facilities and multifamily complexes near the Willamette to private residences throughout Milwaukie neighborhoods, our response model is calibrated for the specific demands of your property.
Apartment complexes, mixed-use buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities along the Willamette, and municipal properties throughout Clackamas County. We work around your tenants and operations with Lean-driven scheduling and clear daily communication.
Craftsman homes near downtown Milwaukie, mid-century ranches in Ardenwald, and newer construction throughout the city, we treat every home with the same urgency and respect as a commercial site. Clear communication, honest scope, and a property ready for your repair contractor.
Family-owned since 1997. Real reviews from Portland Metro and SW Washington property owners and managers
“We had a sudden water emergency when a hose on our drinking fountain broke and flooded part of our space. Shawn and Jason from Lovett were absolutely fantastic. They showed up quickly, were kind and professional, and walked us through the entire remediation process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lovett.”

“We had a great experience with Lovett after a water line on our drinking fountain broke and soaked part of our floors and walls. Shawn and Jason showed up quickly and were super professional, friendly, and clearly experienced. They kept us in the loop the whole time and made sure the space was drying out properly.”

“My frostproof hose bib froze and burst over the weekend, but I didn’t realize it for a couple of days when I felt a wet area in my carpet. Lovett had Cody out to replace the burst pipe, and Daniel and Steve from the Remediation Team were thorough and efficient. They were super great guys, smiles and a great attitude every day.”
