When flood water invades your Brown Deer home, every hour matters. The difference between a manageable cleanup and a complete renovation often comes down to how quickly you act.
You get your space back without the lingering dampness, musty odors, or structural concerns that follow incomplete restoration. No more wondering if moisture is still hiding in your walls or if mold will show up in three months.
Your basement becomes usable again. Your belongings get salvaged instead of thrown away. Most importantly, you avoid the cascade of problems that turn a water emergency into a months-long nightmare.
We’ve been handling Wisconsin’s unpredictable weather for years. We understand how Brown Deer’s aging infrastructure and intense storms create the perfect conditions for basement flooding.
We’ve seen what happens when Milwaukee County gets hit with record rainfall—like the recent flooding that brought over 500 emergency calls in a single night. That’s why our 24/7 response team stays ready with the equipment and expertise Brown Deer residents need.
Our local knowledge means we know which neighborhoods flood first, how the city’s drainage systems behave, and what Brown Deer homeowners face during Wisconsin’s wettest seasons.
First, we assess the full scope of damage using moisture detection equipment. This tells us exactly where water has traveled and what materials are affected—not just what you can see on the surface.
Next comes water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water quickly, then set up drying equipment strategically throughout the affected areas. Our dehumidifiers and air movers work around the clock to pull moisture from floors, walls, and hidden spaces.
Finally, we handle sanitization and any necessary repairs. This includes treating affected areas to prevent mold growth and restoring damaged materials to pre-flood condition. You get documentation for insurance claims and a completely restored space.

Your flood damage cleanup includes comprehensive water extraction, structural drying, sanitization, and mold prevention—all the services needed to fully restore your property.
Brown Deer’s recent flooding challenges highlight why complete service matters. When basements fill with contaminated water from sewer backups, you need more than basic water removal. You need professional-grade sanitization and antimicrobial treatment.
We handle the insurance documentation, coordinate with adjusters, and provide detailed reports of our restoration process. This means you get proper coverage without the headache of managing claims while dealing with flood damage. Our local experience with Wisconsin’s flood patterns helps us identify and address problems other companies might miss.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Brown Deer flood damage calls, typically arriving within hours of your call. Quick response is critical because water damage spreads rapidly and secondary problems like mold can begin developing within 24-48 hours.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction to stop further damage, plus assessment of the full scope of flooding. We understand that Brown Deer flooding often happens during severe weather when multiple properties are affected, so we maintain sufficient equipment and staff to handle multiple emergency calls simultaneously.
The faster we begin extraction and drying, the more of your belongings and structural materials we can save, ultimately reducing your total restoration costs.
Flood damage cleanup costs in Brown Deer typically range from $1,200 to $6,000 for most residential situations, though extensive flooding can cost significantly more. The final cost depends on the amount of water, the type of water (clean vs. contaminated), and how long water was present before cleanup began.
Minor water damage from a small leak might cost as little as $150 to address, while major basement flooding with sewage backup can exceed $10,000. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation and work directly with insurance companies to help you understand your coverage.
Most homeowners find that professional flood cleanup actually saves money compared to DIY attempts, because we prevent secondary damage that leads to much more expensive repairs later.
Yes, we specialize in contaminated water cleanup including sewage backups, which are unfortunately common in Brown Deer during heavy rainfall events. Sewage backup requires specialized handling because of serious health risks from bacteria and other contaminants.
Our sewage cleanup process includes safe water extraction, thorough sanitization with antimicrobial treatments, and proper disposal of contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged. We follow strict safety protocols to protect both our technicians and your family during the cleanup process.
This type of flooding requires immediate professional attention—attempting to clean sewage backup yourself can expose your family to dangerous bacteria and often makes the contamination problem worse.
Standard homeowners insurance typically covers sudden water damage from burst pipes or appliance failures, but usually excludes flood damage from external sources like heavy rainfall or river overflow. However, coverage varies significantly between policies and specific situations.
We work directly with insurance companies to document damage properly and help you understand what your policy covers. Our detailed reporting and photo documentation help ensure you receive maximum coverage for covered losses.
For flood damage that isn’t covered by homeowners insurance, we can discuss payment options and help you prioritize the most critical restoration work to protect your property from further damage.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying within the first 24-48 hours after flooding. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring equipment to ensure all affected materials reach proper dryness levels.
Our process includes antimicrobial treatments on all affected surfaces and removal of materials that cannot be properly dried or sanitized. We also monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process to ensure conditions don’t support mold growth.
Wisconsin’s humid climate makes mold prevention especially important after flood damage. Our local experience with Brown Deer’s climate conditions helps us identify areas where moisture tends to linger and ensure complete drying before closing up walls or replacing materials.
First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to flooded areas and avoiding contact with contaminated water. Don’t enter flooded basements if electrical outlets or appliances may be submerged, as this creates serious electrocution risks.
Call us immediately at 414-519-9912 for emergency response, then contact your insurance company to report the damage. Take photos of the damage if you can do so safely, but don’t delay professional water extraction to document everything.
Don’t attempt to remove large amounts of water yourself or use regular household fans for drying—this often spreads contamination and doesn’t provide the thorough drying needed to prevent mold growth. Professional equipment and expertise make a significant difference in both safety and final results.
