Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. When your East Side basement floods or pipes burst, you’re facing potential mold growth within 24 hours, structural damage, and belongings you might lose forever.
Here’s what changes when you call Flood Guys Restoration. Your property gets professionally dried using equipment that finds moisture hiding in walls and under floors. Your insurance claim gets handled by people who know how to talk to adjusters and get approvals. Your family gets their home back while we handle everything else.
You get peace of mind knowing it’s done right. No missed spots. No corner-cutting. No nasty surprises when mold shows up months later because someone didn’t dry everything properly.
We’re not some national chain that rolled into Milwaukee last month. Flood Guys Restoration is family-owned, locally operated, and we know exactly what East Side homeowners face when water damage hits.
This neighborhood’s older homes and aging infrastructure create specific challenges. We’ve handled basement flooding during Milwaukee’s extreme weather events, and we understand how quickly things can go wrong in properties built decades before anyone thought about today’s rainfall patterns.
When you work with us, you get people who live in this community, understand local building styles, and know how to get things done with insurance companies that serve Milwaukee. That local knowledge means faster response and solutions that actually work for homes in this area.
First, we assess everything using moisture detection equipment that reveals water hiding in places you can’t see. No guessing—we measure moisture levels throughout your East Side property to understand exactly what needs attention.
Water extraction comes next using professional pumps and vacuums designed for emergency restoration work. We pull out standing water first, then target moisture soaked into materials like drywall, insulation, and flooring.
Drying happens with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers placed strategically around affected areas. We check moisture levels daily, moving equipment as needed until everything reaches completely dry conditions. Then we handle repairs and restoration to get your property back to its original condition, working directly with your insurance company so you don’t have to.

Your water damage restoration service includes everything needed to get your East Side home completely back to normal. We handle water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, mold prevention, and repairs—all with equipment specifically chosen for Milwaukee’s climate and building types.
Recent flooding events in Milwaukee have shown us how quickly water damage escalates in this area. East Side properties face unique risks from older infrastructure and storm water systems that get overwhelmed during heavy rainfall events like the record-breaking floods we’ve seen recently.
Our complete service includes mold prevention protocols essential in Milwaukee’s humid climate, direct insurance communication to speed up claims, and true 24/7 availability because water emergencies don’t follow schedules. You also get detailed documentation of the entire restoration process, giving you records for insurance and proof that everything was handled properly.
Call immediately—within the first hour if possible. Water damage moves fast in Milwaukee’s humid climate, and mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of initial water exposure.
Every hour you wait lets water soak deeper into building materials, making restoration more expensive and complicated. Quick action also prevents secondary damage like warped flooring, ruined drywall, and structural problems that often cost more to fix than the original water damage itself.
Our 24/7 emergency response means we can reach your East Side property quickly, even at 3 AM when these things always seem to happen. The faster we start extraction and drying, the more of your property and belongings we can save.
It depends on what caused the water damage and your specific policy details. Sudden, accidental damage like burst pipes is usually covered, while gradual leaks or external flooding typically require separate flood insurance.
We work with insurance companies throughout Milwaukee and understand how Wisconsin policies handle water damage claims. Our team documents everything thoroughly, provides detailed estimates, and talks directly with adjusters to move your claim along faster.
Before we start work, we’ll look at your policy coverage and explain what’s likely covered versus what might come out of your pocket. This prevents surprises and helps you make smart decisions about what restoration work to prioritize.
East Side properties have specific challenges because of older construction, proximity to Lake Michigan, and infrastructure that wasn’t built for today’s extreme weather. Many homes here have basements that flood easily during heavy rainfall events.
Milwaukee’s clay-heavy soil doesn’t drain well, creating more surface water and higher risk of basement seepage. The area’s mature trees are beautiful but can contribute to drainage problems when storm systems overwhelm aging sewer infrastructure.
Our local experience means we understand these neighborhood challenges and bring the right equipment and techniques for East Side homes. We know which areas get repeat flooding and can suggest ways to prevent future water damage problems.
Most residential water damage restoration takes 3 to 7 days for complete drying, plus additional time for any repairs needed. Milwaukee’s climate can extend drying times, especially during humid summer months.
Smaller problems like a single-room pipe leak might be completely dry within 2-3 days, while basement flooding or multi-level damage can take a week or longer. We use moisture meters to determine when materials are truly dry, not just dry on the surface, so no hidden moisture gets left behind.
Throughout the process, we give you daily updates and adjust timeline based on actual moisture readings. Our goal is complete restoration, not just fast completion, because shortcuts create mold problems down the road.
Yes, we provide real 24/7 emergency response throughout Milwaukee, including all East Side neighborhoods. Water damage doesn’t follow business hours, and we don’t either.
When you call our emergency line, you reach an actual person who can send our crew immediately—not an answering service that takes messages. We know water damage emergencies create stress and panic, especially when they happen at 2 AM or during holiday weekends.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction to stop ongoing damage, emergency board-up if needed, and complete assessment of what happened. We’ll also help you contact your insurance company and start the claims process, even during off-hours, so restoration can begin as quickly as possible.
First, stay safe—turn off electricity to flooded areas if you can do it safely, and don’t walk through standing water. Take photos for insurance documentation, then call us immediately for emergency response.
Move valuable items out of the affected area if it’s safe, but don’t try major cleanup yourself. Using household fans or opening windows might seem helpful, but wrong drying techniques can actually spread moisture and make mold problems worse.
Call your insurance company to report the claim, but don’t wait for their approval before calling us. Most policies require immediate action to prevent further damage, and delayed response can hurt your coverage. We’ll work directly with your insurer to ensure proper documentation and get approval for necessary restoration work.
