You walk into a dry, restored space that looks and feels like home again. No lingering moisture. No musty odors. No mold lurking behind walls.
That’s what happens when water removal is done right. Our advanced extraction equipment pulls water from carpets, walls, and hidden spaces that other companies miss. Your floors aren’t warped, your walls aren’t stained, and your belongings are salvaged instead of trashed.
Bay View’s aging infrastructure and unpredictable weather create perfect storms for water damage. But with proper extraction and drying, what could have been a disaster becomes just a memory.
Flood Guys Restoration has been Bay View’s go-to water removal company because we understand this neighborhood. We’ve seen how spring snowmelt overwhelms storm drains on Kinnickinnic Avenue. We know which basements flood first during heavy rains.
Our certified technicians live and work in the Milwaukee area. When you call, you’re not getting a corporate call center—you’re getting neighbors who’ve handled Bay View’s unique water challenges for years.
We’re the team that arrives in under 60 minutes, not “sometime tomorrow.” Because when water’s pouring into your property, fast response isn’t a luxury—it’s everything.
First, we assess the damage using moisture meters and infrared cameras to find every drop of water, even behind walls. This isn’t guesswork—it’s science.
Next comes extraction. Our truck-mounted pumps and portable units remove standing water fast. We’re talking thousands of gallons per hour, not shop-vac speeds.
Then we deploy industrial fans and dehumidifiers for structural drying. This phase eliminates moisture from wood, drywall, and concrete—the hidden moisture that causes mold and rot months later. We monitor moisture levels daily until everything reads completely dry.
After drying, we clean and sanitize all affected surfaces using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments. Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure your property meets our quality standards before we consider the job complete.

Our water removal service covers everything from burst pipes to basement floods. We extract water from all surfaces—hardwood floors, carpeting, drywall, and even crawl spaces that other companies can’t reach.
Bay View’s proximity to Lake Michigan creates unique humidity challenges. Our dehumidification process accounts for this, using commercial-grade equipment that handles the moisture load effectively. We also understand how Bay View’s older homes respond to water damage, adjusting our approach for everything from century-old brick foundations to modern additions.
Every water removal job includes mold prevention treatment, structural drying verification, and complete sanitization. We don’t just remove water—we eliminate the conditions that let problems return. That’s why our work comes with documentation that satisfies insurance companies and gives you peace of mind.
We typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day. Bay View’s location means we can reach most properties from our dispatch center faster than companies based outside Milwaukee.
Time matters with water removal. Every hour of delay means deeper water penetration into floors and walls, higher restoration costs, and increased mold risk. That’s why we maintain crews on standby specifically for emergency response.
Our rapid response includes bringing the right equipment immediately—truck-mounted extractors, industrial fans, and moisture detection tools. We don’t show up just to assess and schedule the real work for later.
We handle all categories of water damage, from clean water pipe breaks to contaminated flood water. Bay View sees everything from basement sump pump failures during spring thaws to storm water intrusion through aging foundations.
Our equipment and training cover burst pipes, overflowing toilets, washing machine leaks, roof leaks, and storm flooding. Each situation requires different extraction methods and safety protocols, especially when dealing with potentially contaminated water.
We also specialize in the hidden water damage common in Bay View’s older homes—water that travels behind walls or under floors before you notice it. Our thermal imaging cameras detect these problem areas before they become major issues.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, and storm damage. Coverage varies by policy and cause, so we help document everything properly from the start.
We work directly with insurance companies daily and know what documentation they require. We photograph all damage, track our restoration process, and provide detailed reports that support your claim.
Our team handles the paperwork and communicates with adjusters throughout the process. This means less stress for you and faster claim resolution. We’ve helped hundreds of Bay View residents navigate insurance claims successfully.
Mold prevention starts with complete moisture elimination, not just surface drying. We use moisture meters to verify that materials are thoroughly dry before we consider the job finished.
Our industrial dehumidifiers and air movers create the airflow and humidity conditions that prevent mold spores from taking hold. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces as an additional safeguard.
Bay View’s humidity levels near Lake Michigan make thorough drying especially critical. We monitor moisture levels for days, not hours, to ensure complete drying. This extra attention prevents the mold problems that can develop weeks after inadequate water removal.
First, ensure your safety—avoid electrical hazards and don’t walk through deep standing water. If possible, shut off the main water supply if the damage comes from a burst pipe or plumbing failure.
Move valuable items to dry areas if you can do so safely. Take photos of the damage for insurance documentation, but don’t attempt major cleanup yourself—improper techniques can actually spread contamination or cause additional damage.
Don’t use regular household fans or equipment for drying. These can actually spread mold spores if contamination is present. Wait for our professional equipment and trained technicians to handle the extraction properly.
Water extraction typically takes a few hours, but complete structural drying usually requires 3-5 days depending on the extent of damage and materials affected. Bay View’s older homes with plaster walls and hardwood floors often need additional drying time.
We monitor progress daily with moisture meters and adjust equipment as needed. Rushing this process leads to problems later—trapped moisture, mold growth, and structural damage that could have been prevented.
You’ll have access to affected areas during drying, but our equipment stays in place until moisture readings confirm everything is completely dry. This thorough approach prevents callbacks and ensures your property is truly restored, not just superficially dried.
