Water damage doesn’t wait for convenient timing. Neither do we. When you call Flood Guys Restoration, you’re getting a team that shows up ready to work—not just assess and schedule for next week.
We extract standing water immediately, set up industrial drying equipment, and start preventing the secondary damage that costs you more later. Your basement isn’t just dried out—it’s restored to a condition that protects your investment and your family’s health.
The difference isn’t just in our equipment or our speed. It’s in understanding that your home or business needs to function again, not just look presentable.
We’ve built our reputation on something simple: showing up when Milwaukee residents need us most. We’re not the company that promises everything and delivers excuses.
Historic Third Ward properties present unique challenges—older buildings, historic architectural elements, and infrastructure that requires specialized knowledge. We’ve worked with enough of these properties to understand what works and what doesn’t.
Our team knows Milwaukee’s weather patterns, building codes, and the insurance landscape that affects your recovery. When recent flooding hit Milwaukee with over 12 inches of rain in some areas, we were there helping neighbors get their lives back on track.
First, we assess the full extent of damage using professional moisture detection equipment. You’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with before any work begins.
Next comes immediate water extraction. We remove standing water fast, then set up industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to pull moisture from materials that can be saved. This isn’t about drying what’s visible—it’s about preventing mold growth in places you can’t see.
Finally, we handle repairs and restoration. Damaged materials get replaced, affected areas get sanitized, and everything gets restored to pre-damage condition. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed about timeline and progress.

Historic Third Ward’s unique building characteristics require specialized approaches. Many properties here feature original hardwood floors, vintage plaster walls, and architectural details that need careful preservation during restoration. We’ve developed techniques specifically for these situations.
Milwaukee’s recent historic flooding highlighted the importance of rapid response and proper drying techniques. Properties that received immediate professional attention suffered significantly less long-term damage than those that waited or attempted DIY solutions. Our systematic approach prevents the secondary issues—like mold growth and structural damage—that turn a manageable situation into a major renovation project.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Historic Third Ward and arrive typically within 60-90 minutes of your call. Time is critical with water damage—every hour of delay increases the risk of secondary damage like mold growth and structural issues.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction, moisture assessment, and placement of drying equipment. We don’t just show up to look around and schedule work for later. Our trucks carry the equipment needed to start mitigation immediately, which is especially important in Historic Third Ward’s older buildings where water can quickly penetrate historic materials and cause expensive damage.
Insurance coverage depends on the source and cause of water damage, plus your specific policy details. Sudden and accidental water damage—like burst pipes or appliance failures—is typically covered, while gradual leaks or flood damage may not be.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document damage properly for your claim. Our detailed reports, photos, and moisture readings provide the documentation adjusters need to process claims efficiently. We’ve helped hundreds of Milwaukee homeowners navigate the insurance process, and we know which details matter most for claim approval.
Many Historic Third Ward properties have unique coverage considerations due to their age and historic status, so we make sure all relevant factors are properly documented and presented.

Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and proper drying within the first 24-48 hours. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring equipment to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels before mold can establish itself.
Our process includes treating affected areas with antimicrobial solutions and monitoring moisture levels throughout the drying process. We don’t just dry what’s visible—we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to detect hidden moisture in wall cavities, under flooring, and in other concealed spaces where mold commonly develops.
Milwaukee’s humidity levels and the recent flooding events have created heightened mold risks throughout the area. Our systematic approach addresses these conditions specifically, ensuring your property is truly dry and protected against future mold growth.
First, ensure safety—don’t enter flooded areas if there’s any risk of electrical hazards. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely, then call us immediately for emergency response.
While waiting for our arrival, stop the water source if possible and move valuable items to dry areas. Take photos for insurance documentation, but don’t attempt major cleanup yourself—improper handling can actually increase damage and create health risks.
Don’t use regular household fans or equipment for drying—these can actually spread contamination and moisture to unaffected areas. Professional-grade equipment and techniques are essential for proper water damage mitigation, especially in Historic Third Ward’s older buildings where water can travel through unexpected pathways.
Emergency water extraction and initial setup typically happens within hours of our arrival. The complete drying process usually takes 3-5 days, depending on the extent of damage, materials affected, and environmental conditions.
Restoration and repair work timeline varies based on the scope of damage. Minor repairs might be completed within a week, while extensive restoration projects can take several weeks. We provide detailed timelines upfront and keep you informed of progress throughout the process.
Historic Third Ward properties sometimes require additional time due to the specialized techniques needed for older building materials and architectural features. However, our systematic approach and professional equipment ensure the most efficient restoration possible while maintaining quality standards that protect your investment.
