You get your life back. That’s what matters when water damage hits your Riverwest home. No more soggy carpets, no musty basement smells, no wondering if mold is growing behind your walls.
Our systematic water damage restoration approach handles everything from emergency water extraction to final repairs. You’re not dealing with different crews every day or getting shuffled between departments. Same experienced team, same high standards, same commitment to getting your water damage restoration right.
When we finish your water damage restoration, your property looks and feels like the flooding never happened. Clean, dry, and ready for you to move forward with confidence.
We’ve been serving Milwaukee metro area families as a local, family-owned water damage restoration company. We understand Riverwest’s unique flooding challenges—from the recent water main incidents on Humboldt Boulevard to the basement water damage concerns that come with this neighborhood’s older homes and infrastructure.
We’re not a national chain with cookie-cutter water damage solutions. We know Riverwest, we know the common water damage problems, and we know how to handle emergency water cleanup right the first time. When flooding strikes your Riverwest home, you’re working with water damage restoration professionals who understand exactly what you’re facing.
We’ve handled everything from basement flooding during Milwaukee’s historic rainfall events to water main break aftermath. We know how ground saturation affects local properties and why quick water extraction matters in older Riverwest homes.
First, we assess the full scope of your water damage using specialized moisture detection equipment to find hidden water and potential structural issues. No guesswork about your water damage restoration needs, no expensive surprises later in the process.
Next comes immediate emergency water extraction with industrial-grade pumps and truck-mounted vacuum systems. We remove standing water fast to prevent additional damage and stop mold growth before it starts. This isn’t your typical wet-dry vacuum approach—we use professional water extraction equipment designed for serious flooding.
Then we deploy our structural drying and dehumidification equipment throughout affected areas. We’re not just setting up fans and hoping for the best. Our moisture meters and monitoring systems track drying progress in real-time, ensuring complete water removal from walls, flooring, and hidden spaces where moisture likes to hide.
Finally, we handle all necessary repairs and water damage restoration work, replacing damaged materials and restoring your property to its pre-flood condition. You get a comprehensive final inspection to confirm everything meets both our standards and yours.

You get comprehensive water damage restoration services that cover every aspect of flood cleanup and repair. Emergency water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, complete reconstruction—all handled by our experienced water damage restoration team using advanced equipment and proven techniques.
Riverwest homes face specific water damage challenges that require local expertise. The neighborhood’s older housing stock means water can travel in unexpected ways, and recent infrastructure issues like the Humboldt Boulevard water main incidents show how quickly street flooding can affect basements and foundations. We’ve handled basement water damage from these events and understand how ground saturation impacts local properties.
Our water damage restoration service includes working directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation, and handling the paperwork insurance adjusters require. You don’t navigate the claims process alone or wonder whether our water damage restoration work meets coverage standards. We know what insurers expect and deliver accordingly.
We provide 24/7 emergency water damage response to Riverwest and throughout the Milwaukee metro area. Our goal is to be on-site within 60-90 minutes because every hour counts when you’re dealing with water damage and potential flooding.
The sooner we start emergency water extraction and begin professional drying, the better your outcome and the lower your total restoration costs. Delayed response to water damage leads to more extensive structural damage, higher repair bills, and significantly increased risk of mold growth that can affect your family’s health.
When you call our emergency line, you’re speaking directly with our local water damage restoration team—not a call center in another state. We’ll give you a realistic arrival time and keep you updated if traffic or weather affects our response.
Insurance coverage for water damage restoration depends on your specific policy and what caused the flooding. Sudden and accidental water damage—like burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related flooding—is typically covered by standard homeowner’s policies. Gradual damage from long-term leaks or maintenance neglect usually isn’t covered.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the Milwaukee area and understand exactly what documentation they need for water damage restoration claims. We’ll photograph all damage, provide detailed moisture readings, and communicate directly with your adjuster throughout the restoration process. This helps ensure your claim moves smoothly and you receive the maximum coverage available.
If you’re unsure about your water damage coverage, call your insurance company immediately after discovering the damage. Quick reporting often improves your chances of full coverage and faster claim resolution.
First, ensure your safety and your family’s safety. Never walk through standing water if there’s any chance of electrical hazards, and avoid areas where you can see structural damage like sagging ceilings or buckled floors. If you can safely access it, shut off the main water supply to prevent additional flooding.
Take photos of all water damage for insurance documentation, but don’t delay calling for professional water damage restoration help. Every hour water sits in your home increases damage and restoration costs. Water wicks into walls, under flooring, and into areas you can’t see, creating perfect conditions for mold growth.
Remove valuable items from affected areas if you can do so safely, but resist the urge to start water extraction yourself. Household shop vacuums aren’t designed for serious water damage and can actually spread contamination or cause electrical hazards.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and proper structural drying using professional-grade equipment. We deploy industrial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to create environmental conditions where mold simply cannot grow. Our calibrated moisture meters ensure we’re eliminating water from within wall cavities, under flooring, and other hidden areas—not just drying visible surfaces.
We also apply EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to affected areas when conditions warrant it, and we continuously monitor humidity levels throughout the entire drying process. If we discover existing mold during water damage restoration, we immediately contain the affected area and follow strict remediation protocols to prevent spore distribution throughout your home.
The key to mold prevention is acting fast and completing the job properly the first time. Incomplete drying or cutting corners on the restoration process almost guarantees mold problems within 24-48 hours, which is why we never rush the critical drying phase of water damage restoration.
Water damage restoration timeline depends on several factors: the extent of flooding, which materials were affected, environmental conditions, and whether we discover additional damage during the process. Minor water damage in a single room might be completely restored in 3-5 days, while major basement flooding or whole-house water damage can take 2-3 weeks.
The structural drying phase typically requires 3-7 days, but we never rush this critical step. Proper drying is absolutely essential to preventing mold growth and ensuring successful long-term restoration. We use scientific moisture monitoring to confirm everything is completely dry before beginning reconstruction work.
We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout your water damage restoration. If we discover hidden damage or conditions change, we’ll explain how that affects the schedule and get your approval before proceeding with additional work.
We’re a local, family-owned water damage restoration company that specializes exclusively in the Milwaukee metro area, including Riverwest. You work with the same experienced team from emergency water extraction through final reconstruction—not different crews every day or a rotating cast of subcontractors.
We understand Riverwest’s specific challenges, from the neighborhood’s older home construction to recent infrastructure issues like the water main problems on Humboldt Boulevard. When those incidents caused widespread basement flooding concerns, we were there helping residents with emergency water extraction and structural drying.
Our systematic five-step water damage restoration process is thorough and scientifically sound, but we explain everything in plain language so you understand exactly what’s happening and why. You’re never left wondering about progress or timeline. We treat your water damage emergency with the urgency it deserves and your property with the care it needs.
