You’re not dealing with just water—you’re facing bacteria, potential mold growth, and structural damage that gets worse by the hour. Our certified team stops the damage in its tracks with industrial-grade extraction equipment and proven drying techniques.
Within 24 hours, we’ll have your space stabilized and on the path to full restoration. No hidden moisture pockets. No mold surprises weeks later. Just your property returned to its pre-flood condition, backed by our commitment to get it right the first time.
The difference between amateur cleanup and professional restoration shows up months later—when amateur jobs develop mold problems and structural issues that cost thousands more to fix.
We at Flood Guys Restoration understand Lower East Side’s unique flooding challenges. We’ve seen how Southeast Wisconsin’s aging infrastructure and clay-based soils create perfect conditions for basement flooding and water damage.
Our team knows the difference between a quick cleanup and proper restoration. We’re IICRC-certified, equipped with professional-grade moisture detection equipment, and available 24/7 because flooding doesn’t wait for business hours.
When August 2025’s historic flooding hit Southeast Wisconsin—the worst since 2008—we were there. When spring snowmelt overwhelms storm drains, we’re ready. Local knowledge matters when your property is underwater.
First, we assess and stop the source. Our team identifies what caused the flooding and prevents additional water from entering your property. We document everything for insurance purposes while setting up containment barriers.
Next, we extract and dry completely. Industrial pumps remove standing water while our dehumidifiers and air movers eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to ensure nothing gets missed.
Finally, we clean and restore. Antimicrobial treatments prevent mold growth while we repair or replace damaged materials. From soggy drywall to warped flooring, we handle every aspect of bringing your space back to pre-loss condition.

Our flood damage cleanup covers water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, content restoration, and complete reconstruction services. We handle everything from burst pipes to storm flooding.
Lower East Side properties face specific challenges during Wisconsin’s heavy rainfall seasons. Clay soils don’t drain well, older basements weren’t built for today’s extreme weather events, and humidity creates perfect conditions for mold growth within 48 hours.
We bring industrial-grade equipment that most restoration companies don’t have—thermal imaging cameras to find hidden moisture, commercial dehumidifiers that work in Wisconsin’s humid climate, and antimicrobial treatments specifically designed for contaminated floodwater cleanup.
Call immediately—within the first hour if possible. Floodwater damage accelerates rapidly, especially in Wisconsin’s humid climate where mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours.
Every hour of delay increases your restoration costs and the likelihood of permanent damage to your property. Water continues spreading through porous materials like drywall and insulation, while bacteria and contaminants create health hazards that require specialized cleanup.
Our 24/7 emergency response means we can be on-site quickly to assess the damage, stop water intrusion, and begin extraction before secondary damage occurs.
Floodwater contains dangerous contaminants including bacteria, chemicals, sewage, and debris that clean water damage doesn’t have. This contaminated water requires specialized cleaning protocols and antimicrobial treatments.
Standard water damage might come from a clean source like a burst pipe, but flooding brings in everything from street runoff to potential sewage backup. The cleanup process must address these health hazards while also dealing with the water damage itself.
Our technicians use personal protective equipment and follow strict contamination protocols that go far beyond basic water extraction and drying.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies don’t cover flood damage—you typically need separate flood insurance for that coverage. However, if the water damage resulted from a covered peril like a burst pipe or roof leak, your homeowners policy may apply.
We work directly with insurance companies to document damage properly and ensure you receive fair coverage for covered losses. Our team photographs everything, creates detailed moisture maps, and provides the documentation insurers require.
We’ll review your specific situation and help you understand what’s covered while ensuring the cleanup meets insurance standards for a smooth claims process.
Mold prevention starts with rapid, complete moisture removal followed by antimicrobial treatments and proper drying techniques. Wisconsin’s humid climate makes this especially critical—mold can establish within 24 hours in our conditions.
We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers designed for Wisconsin’s climate, along with thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture pockets that standard equipment misses. Every affected surface gets antimicrobial treatment to kill existing spores and prevent new growth.
Our drying process continues until moisture levels return to normal ranges, verified by professional moisture meters. We don’t consider the job complete until we’ve eliminated the conditions that allow mold to thrive.
First, ensure your safety—don’t enter standing water that might be electrically charged, and avoid contact with contaminated floodwater. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from a dry location.
Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t attempt cleanup yourself. Contaminated floodwater requires professional-grade protective equipment and specialized cleaning protocols that most homeowners don’t have access to.
Call us immediately for emergency response. We’ll guide you through immediate safety steps while dispatching our team to begin professional assessment and mitigation services.
Timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential flood cleanup projects in Lower East Side take 3-7 days for the drying phase, followed by 1-3 weeks for repairs and restoration work.
Wisconsin’s clay soils and humid climate can extend drying times compared to other regions, but our industrial equipment is specifically chosen to work efficiently in these conditions. We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure proper drying without rushing the process.
Complex cases involving structural damage or extensive contamination may take longer, but we provide clear timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. Emergency stabilization and water extraction typically begin within hours of your call.
