Flood Guys Restoration is a family-owned company serving the Milwaukee metro area, including Sherman Park, with deep understanding of our local flooding challenges. We’ve seen how Milwaukee’s spring downpours overwhelm drainage systems and send water rushing into basements through floor drains and sewer lines.
We know Sherman Park’s infrastructure, the common causes of flooding in your neighborhood, and exactly how to handle the contaminated water that often comes with Milwaukee’s heavy rainfall events. Our team has responded to hundreds of basement floods, sewer backups, and storm damage calls throughout Milwaukee County.
When disaster strikes your Sherman Park property, you’re working with restoration professionals who understand your specific challenges and have the local experience to solve them efficiently.
We start with a comprehensive damage assessment using specialized equipment to identify all affected areas, including hidden moisture that could cause problems later. Our trained technicians evaluate the extent of contamination, structural concerns, and potential safety hazards before creating your customized restoration plan.
Next comes immediate water extraction using powerful pumps and advanced drying equipment. We remove standing water quickly, then deploy industrial fans and dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and building materials. Throughout this process, we monitor moisture levels to ensure complete drying.
Finally, we handle cleanup, sanitization, and any necessary repairs to restore your property to its original condition. We document everything for your insurance claim and conduct a final inspection to ensure our work meets both our standards and your expectations.

We’re equipped to handle sewage backups, storm-related flooding, and the contaminated water that often accompanies these events in your neighborhood.
We work directly with your insurance company, providing detailed documentation and estimates to streamline your claim process.

We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout the Milwaukee metro area, including Sherman Park, typically arriving within 60-90 minutes of your call. Quick response is critical for flood damage because every hour of delay increases the risk of mold growth, structural damage, and higher restoration costs.
Our rapid response team comes fully equipped with water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and emergency supplies to immediately begin damage mitigation. We understand that flood emergencies don’t wait for business hours, which is why our emergency hotline connects you directly with restoration professionals who can dispatch immediately.
Time matters with flood damage, and our local presence in the Milwaukee area means we can reach Sherman Park properties quickly to start the cleanup process and prevent secondary damage.
First, ensure your safety by staying out of standing water if there’s any chance of electrical hazards—even shallow water can cause electrocution if electrical equipment is submerged. Turn off electricity to affected areas at the main breaker if you can do so safely.
Document the damage with photos for your insurance claim, but avoid walking through contaminated floodwater. Milwaukee’s flood events often involve sewage backup, which creates serious health hazards requiring protective equipment and professional cleanup.
Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency number. The sooner we can begin water extraction and drying, the better your chances of preventing mold growth and minimizing structural damage. Don’t attempt to handle contaminated water cleanup yourself—professional restoration protects both your property and your health.
Coverage depends on the source of water damage and your specific policy. Sudden and accidental water damage, like burst pipes or appliance failures, is typically covered by standard homeowner’s insurance. However, flood damage from external sources like storm water or sewer backup may require separate flood insurance or sewer backup coverage.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout Milwaukee and understand the documentation requirements for successful claims. Our team provides detailed damage assessments, moisture readings, and photographic evidence that insurance adjusters need to process your claim efficiently.
We handle the insurance paperwork and communication so you can focus on getting your life back to normal. Our experience with Milwaukee-area insurance providers means we know how to present your claim for the best possible outcome.
Sewage contamination requires specialized cleanup protocols to protect your health and properly restore your property. We treat all basement flooding in Sherman Park as potentially contaminated, given Milwaukee’s combined sewer system that can back up during heavy rainfall events.
Our certified technicians use professional-grade protective equipment and follow strict safety procedures for contaminated water cleanup. We remove all contaminated materials that can’t be properly disinfected, including drywall, insulation, and flooring that has absorbed sewage.
After water extraction, we apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces and use specialized equipment to ensure complete decontamination. We also test air quality and moisture levels to confirm the space is safe for reoccupation. This thorough approach prevents health hazards and ensures your basement is truly clean and safe.
The timeline varies based on the extent of damage, but most residential flood cleanup projects in Sherman Park take 3-7 days for the initial water extraction and drying phase. Structural repairs and reconstruction can add additional time depending on the scope of work needed.
We use industrial-grade drying equipment that significantly speeds the process compared to trying to dry out flood damage on your own. Our moisture monitoring ensures we don’t rush the drying process, which could lead to mold problems later.
We provide regular updates throughout the process and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. For extensive damage requiring reconstruction, we coordinate with contractors to keep the project moving smoothly. Our goal is complete restoration as quickly as possible while ensuring quality work that prevents future problems.
