Picture walking into your basement three days from now. Completely dry. No musty smell hanging in the air. No water stains creeping up the brick walls that make Historic Third Ward buildings so distinctive.
Your vintage hardwood floors are solid underfoot again. The furnace hums quietly in the corner. Your stored belongings – the holiday decorations, family photos, tools you actually use – they’re all safe and dry.
That peace of mind? That’s what proper flood damage cleanup delivers. Not just pumping out water, but actually restoring your space so you can use it again without worrying about hidden moisture or mold growing behind the walls.
We’ve been handling water emergencies throughout Southern Wisconsin since we started as a family business. When you call us, you’re talking to people who live and work in this community.
We understand Historic Third Ward’s unique challenges. How water moves through converted warehouse spaces during heavy rains. Why certain streets flood first when Milwaukee gets those sudden summer storms that dump fourteen inches in a few hours.
Our team responds around the clock because floods don’t check the calendar. We’ve cleaned up basement flooding in century-old buildings and handled sewage backups in modern lofts. Each property teaches us something new about protecting what matters most to you.
We start with a complete damage assessment. Our technicians check every space, measure moisture levels in walls and floors, and identify any safety hazards like electrical issues or structural concerns that need immediate attention.
Next comes rapid water extraction using truck-mounted pumps and industrial vacuums. Standing water causes more damage every hour it sits, so we remove it fast. Really fast.
Then we set up our drying equipment – commercial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers that pull moisture from places you can’t even see. This isn’t the kind of equipment you can rent from the hardware store. We monitor moisture levels daily until everything tests completely dry.
Finally, we clean and disinfect all affected areas. Floodwater carries bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants that can make your family sick. We eliminate those health hazards so your space is actually safe to use again.

Your flood damage cleanup service includes comprehensive water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, cleaning, disinfection, and damage documentation for insurance claims. We handle basement flooding, sewage backups, storm damage, and burst pipe emergencies.
Historic Third Ward properties present unique restoration challenges. Those beautiful exposed brick walls in converted warehouses absorb water differently than modern drywall. Original hardwood floors need specialized drying techniques to prevent warping or cupping.
We work directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation with photos and moisture readings at every step. Our reports help streamline your claim process so you can focus on getting back to normal instead of fighting with adjusters.
Milwaukee’s humid climate means mold can start growing within 24-48 hours after flooding. Our rapid response and thorough drying process stops this expensive problem before it starts, saving you thousands in additional remediation costs.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Historic Third Ward and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Flood damage gets exponentially worse every hour water sits in your property, so immediate response matters.
Our service trucks stay fully equipped with industrial water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and everything needed to start emergency cleanup immediately. We don’t make you wait until Monday morning or after a holiday weekend.
During major flooding events like Milwaukee experienced recently with over a foot of rain in just hours, we triage calls based on safety concerns and damage severity, but every emergency gets same-day response. Period.
Complete flood damage cleanup includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, continuous moisture monitoring, thorough cleaning, and disinfection of all affected areas. We remove standing water using high-powered truck-mounted extraction units and portable pumps.
Our commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers eliminate moisture from inside walls, under flooring, and other hidden spaces where mold loves to grow. We place moisture meters throughout your property and monitor readings daily until everything tests bone dry.
All contaminated surfaces get professionally cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria, sewage contamination, and other health hazards that floodwater carries. We also remove and dispose of materials like soaked insulation, damaged drywall, or carpeting that can’t be properly restored.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks, but flooding from external sources typically requires separate flood insurance coverage. We work with both types regularly.
We document every aspect of the restoration process with detailed photos, moisture readings, and equipment logs to support your insurance claim. Our comprehensive reports show before and after conditions, materials removed, and time spent on each restoration phase.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we can review your policy language and explain what’s typically covered versus excluded. We also work with uninsured customers, offering flexible payment options when insurance doesn’t cover everything needed.
Mold prevention requires rapid water removal and complete structural drying within 24-48 hours of initial flooding. We use professional moisture meters to detect hidden water inside walls, under flooring, and in other spaces invisible to the naked eye.
Our industrial dehumidifiers extract moisture from the air while high-velocity air movers create controlled airflow that accelerates drying throughout your property. We continuously monitor humidity levels and don’t consider any job complete until moisture readings test normal.
We immediately remove building materials that can’t be properly dried, like water-soaked insulation, drywall, or subflooring. Attempting to save these materials often leads to expensive mold problems weeks later, so we remove and replace them with new, dry materials during initial cleanup.
Historic Third Ward presents unique flood restoration challenges due to its mix of converted industrial buildings, century-old structures, and modern construction. Original brick walls and hardwood floors require specialized drying techniques that preserve architectural character while ensuring thorough moisture removal.
Many Third Ward properties feature below-grade spaces, exposed brick walls, and original hardwood that absorb and hold water differently than modern building materials. The neighborhood’s proximity to the Milwaukee River means water can approach from multiple directions during severe weather events.
Our experience with Historic Third Ward’s distinctive building styles – from converted warehouses to modern lofts – helps us develop restoration plans that protect both structural integrity and the architectural features that make these properties special and valuable.
Most residential flood cleanup projects require 3-7 days from initial water extraction through final inspection, depending on the extent of water penetration and materials affected. Emergency water removal typically happens within the first 24 hours, followed by 2-5 days of controlled drying.
Extensive flooding or properties with significant structural water damage may require 7-14 days, especially when we need to remove and replace building materials like drywall, insulation, or subflooring. We provide realistic timelines upfront and daily progress updates.
Proper drying time depends on ambient humidity, air circulation, building materials, and how deeply water penetrated structural elements. We never rush the drying phase because incomplete moisture removal leads to mold problems that cost far more to remediate than taking adequate time to dry everything properly.
