When fire strikes your Bay View property, you’re not just dealing with flames—you’re facing smoke damage that penetrates everywhere, soot that stains everything it touches, and water damage from firefighting efforts. The smell lingers, the air feels unsafe, and suddenly your home doesn’t feel like home anymore.
Here’s what life looks like after we finish: Your air is clean and odor-free. Your walls, floors, and belongings are restored to their original condition. The structural integrity is sound and safe. You walk through your front door and it feels like your space again—not a constant reminder of what happened.
We handle the complete restoration process so you can focus on moving forward, not managing contractors and insurance paperwork.
Flood Guys Restoration has been serving Bay View and the greater Milwaukee area as a family-owned restoration company. We understand the unique challenges that come with Bay View’s charming older homes—from the classic bungalows to Victorian houses that require specialized restoration approaches.
Our team knows how fire damage affects different construction materials and architectural styles common in Bay View. We’ve restored properties along Kinnickinnic Avenue and near South Shore Park, working with homeowners who value both quick recovery and preserving their property’s character.
When Bay View residents call us, they’re working with neighbors who understand what makes this community special and how to restore properties the right way.
First, we conduct a comprehensive inspection to assess the full extent of fire, smoke, and water damage. This step is crucial because fire damage isn’t always visible—smoke penetrates walls and HVAC systems, while water from firefighting efforts can cause secondary damage if not addressed immediately.
Next, we secure your property and begin water extraction if firefighting efforts left standing water. We use advanced equipment to thoroughly dry affected areas, preventing mold growth that could complicate your recovery.
Then comes the detailed cleanup: removing smoke and soot from all surfaces using industry-grade equipment. We purify the air and treat affected materials to eliminate odors permanently—not just mask them. Finally, we handle structural repairs and reconstruction, restoring your Bay View property to its pre-fire condition with attention to preserving its original character.

Your fire damage restoration includes emergency response within hours of your call, complete smoke and soot removal from all affected surfaces, water extraction and drying, odor elimination using advanced technology, and full structural repairs. We also handle content cleaning for salvageable belongings and coordinate directly with your insurance company.
In Bay View, we’re particularly experienced with the restoration challenges posed by older home construction. Many properties in the area feature unique materials and building techniques that require specialized cleaning and repair approaches. We understand how to work with original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and vintage fixtures while ensuring modern safety standards.
We also provide temporary board-up services to secure your property immediately after a fire, protecting it from weather and unauthorized entry while restoration work proceeds. Our goal is handling every aspect of recovery so you have one point of contact throughout the entire process.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Bay View fire damage calls, typically arriving within 90 minutes of your initial call. Time is critical after a fire because smoke and soot continue causing damage even after flames are extinguished, and water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold growth if not addressed quickly.
Our rapid response includes immediate property assessment, emergency board-up services if needed, and beginning the restoration process right away. We understand that fire damage emergencies don’t happen on convenient schedules, which is why our team is always ready to respond, including weekends and holidays.
Yes, we can completely eliminate smoke odors using advanced deodorization technology, not just mask them temporarily. Smoke odor removal requires specialized equipment and techniques because smoke particles penetrate deep into materials, HVAC systems, and even areas not directly affected by fire.
We use industrial-grade air purification systems, ozone treatment when appropriate, and specialized cleaning solutions that neutralize odor-causing molecules at their source. Our process includes treating all affected surfaces, cleaning air ducts, and using thermal fogging techniques that reach the same places smoke originally penetrated.
The key is addressing odor elimination as part of the complete restoration process, not as an afterthought. Many Bay View homeowners are surprised to learn their homes smell completely normal again after our restoration work is complete.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in Wisconsin cover fire damage restoration, including smoke cleanup, water damage from firefighting efforts, and structural repairs. However, coverage details vary significantly between policies, and the claims process can be complex during an already stressful time.
We work directly with insurance companies and have extensive experience navigating Wisconsin insurance requirements. Our team documents all damage thoroughly, provides detailed estimates that insurance adjusters understand, and communicates directly with your insurance company throughout the restoration process.
We also help you understand what your policy covers and advocate for appropriate coverage of all necessary restoration work. Many Bay View homeowners find that working with a restoration company experienced in insurance claims makes the entire process much smoother and often results in better coverage outcomes.
Water damage from firefighting efforts requires immediate attention, especially in Bay View’s older homes where materials like original hardwood floors and plaster walls can be particularly vulnerable to water damage. We use advanced water extraction equipment and industrial dehumidifiers to remove moisture quickly and thoroughly.
Our approach includes identifying hidden water damage that may not be immediately visible, such as water that has soaked into wall cavities or under flooring. We use moisture detection equipment to locate all affected areas and monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to ensure complete water removal.
For older homes, we’re experienced in working with vintage materials and construction techniques, understanding how water affects different building materials and what restoration approaches work best while preserving the character of your Bay View property. The goal is preventing secondary damage like mold growth while maintaining the integrity of original architectural features.
Bay View’s unique architectural character, with many charming older homes including bungalows and Victorian houses, requires specialized restoration approaches that preserve original features while meeting modern safety standards. These homes often have unique construction materials, original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and vintage fixtures that need expert handling during fire damage restoration.
We understand how fire and smoke affect different building materials common in Bay View properties and have experience working with the neighborhood’s distinct construction styles. Our team knows how to restore properties while maintaining their historical character and charm that makes Bay View special.
Additionally, we’re familiar with local building codes, permit requirements, and the community resources available to Bay View residents during recovery. Being part of the Milwaukee area restoration community means we have established relationships with local contractors, suppliers, and service providers who understand Bay View properties and can support your restoration project effectively.
Fire damage restoration timelines vary significantly based on the extent of damage, size of the affected area, and complexity of required repairs. Minor smoke damage might be resolved in a few days, while extensive fire damage requiring structural repairs could take several weeks to complete properly.
We provide realistic timelines during our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the restoration process. Our goal is completing restoration work as quickly as possible while ensuring thorough, high-quality results that will last. Rushing restoration work often leads to problems later, so we focus on doing it right the first time.
For Bay View properties, we also consider factors like preserving original architectural features, which sometimes requires specialized materials or techniques that may extend timelines slightly. However, most homeowners find that taking the time to restore their property properly is worth maintaining the character and value that makes their Bay View home special. We coordinate all aspects of the restoration to minimize disruption to your life while ensuring complete recovery.
