That’s exactly why we respond 24/7 with industrial-grade equipment designed to extract water fast and dry everything thoroughly.

Flood Guys Restoration is a family-owned water damage repair company serving Hales Corners and the greater Milwaukee area. We know this community faces unique challenges—from the historic flooding that brought nearly 7 inches of rain in August 2025 to the ongoing risk of basement flooding that affects so many Wisconsin homes.
We’ve built our reputation on responding quickly when disaster strikes. We’re not just another restoration company; we’re your neighbors who understand how devastating water damage can be to your family and your property.
When you call us, you’re working with certified professionals who’ve helped hundreds of Hales Corners residents get their lives back on track after water emergencies.
We start with a comprehensive damage assessment the moment we arrive. Our technicians evaluate the full scope of water intrusion, identify hidden moisture, and map out exactly what needs to happen to get your property restored properly.
Next comes immediate water extraction using powerful pumps and specialized equipment. We remove standing water quickly, then deploy industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from materials that can’t be easily replaced—like your home’s structure itself.
Throughout the drying process, we monitor moisture levels continuously to ensure everything reaches safe, dry conditions. Once we confirm complete drying, we handle any necessary repairs, from replacing damaged drywall to restoring flooring, so you get your space back exactly as it was before the damage occurred.

Our water damage repair services cover everything from emergency water extraction to full structural restoration. We handle burst pipes, basement flooding, storm damage, and sewage backups with the same thorough approach every time.
Hales Corners properties face specific risks that we understand well. The area’s clay soil can cause drainage issues, and recent weather patterns have brought more intense storms to southeastern Wisconsin. We’ve seen how quickly heavy rainfall can overwhelm local drainage systems and cause widespread flooding.
That’s why our service includes not just cleanup and drying, but also mold prevention, insurance documentation, and complete reconstruction when needed. We work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process, so you can focus on getting back to normal instead of dealing with paperwork and phone calls.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Hales Corners and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Quick response is critical because water damage gets worse every hour—standing water penetrates deeper into materials, and mold can start growing within 24 hours.
When you call our emergency line, you’ll speak directly with our dispatch team who can immediately send a crew to your location. We keep our trucks fully stocked with water extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers so we can start the restoration process immediately upon arrival.
Time really does matter with water damage. The faster we can extract standing water and begin the drying process, the less damage your property will sustain and the lower your overall restoration costs will be.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in Wisconsin cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance malfunctions, or roof leaks from storms. However, coverage can vary significantly depending on the cause of the damage and your specific policy terms.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout the claims process. We document all damage thoroughly, provide detailed estimates, and can often bill your insurance provider directly. This takes the administrative burden off you during an already stressful time.
What’s typically not covered is gradual damage from long-term leaks or flooding from external sources like overflowing rivers. We’ll help you understand what’s covered and work within your policy limits to maximize your benefits while ensuring proper restoration of your property.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying—that’s why our 24/7 emergency response is so important. Mold spores can begin growing within 24-48 hours in moist conditions, so we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture quickly.
We monitor humidity levels throughout the affected areas using specialized moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water pockets. Our drying equipment runs continuously until we confirm that all materials have reached safe moisture levels—typically below 15% for wood and other organic materials.
If we discover any existing mold growth during our initial assessment, we immediately contain the affected areas and follow proper remediation protocols. This includes using HEPA air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatments, and safe removal of any materials that can’t be properly cleaned and restored.
First, ensure everyone’s safety—if there’s any risk of electrical hazards or structural damage, evacuate the area immediately and call us. Then, if it’s safe to do so, try to stop the water source if possible, such as shutting off the main water valve for burst pipes.
Take photos of the damage for insurance documentation, but don’t delay calling for professional help. Remove any valuable items from the affected area if you can do so safely, but avoid walking through standing water, especially if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged.
Don’t attempt to use regular household fans or dehumidifiers for significant water damage—they’re not powerful enough to prevent mold growth and secondary damage. Professional-grade equipment is essential for proper drying, and the sooner we can get our equipment working, the better your outcome will be.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential water damage restoration takes 3-7 days for the drying phase, with additional time needed for any reconstruction work. Small incidents like a single room might dry within 2-3 days, while larger floods can take a week or more.
We monitor the drying process continuously with moisture meters and thermal imaging to ensure everything reaches safe levels before we consider the job complete. Rushing this process can lead to mold problems later, so we take the time needed to do it right.
During the drying phase, you can typically remain in unaffected areas of your home. We’ll set up containment barriers to isolate the work area and minimize disruption to your daily routine. Once drying is complete, any reconstruction work—like replacing drywall or flooring—usually adds another few days to a week depending on the scope.
Yes, we handle all aspects of insurance coordination to make the process as smooth as possible for you. We document everything thoroughly with photos and detailed reports, prepare comprehensive estimates, and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster throughout the restoration process.
We know exactly what insurance companies need to see for water damage claims. We provide detailed moisture readings, equipment logs, and progress reports that satisfy insurance requirements while ensuring you get the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
In many cases, we can bill your insurance company directly after your deductible is met, so you don’t have to pay large upfront costs and wait for reimbursement. We’ve worked with virtually every major insurance company and understand their specific requirements and approval processes.
