The historic Public Service Building at We Energies’ downtown Milwaukee headquarters sustained substantial damage caused by a superheated steam release during a storm in May 2020. Temperatures in the underground steam-powered tunnel reached 400 degrees and flooded the basement with water. Damage was sustained on all four floors of the historic building. Findorff provided emergency response services to We Energies and immediately began assessing the damage.
