Fire doesn’t just burn—it leaves behind smoke that seeps into everything, soot that stains surfaces you can’t even see, and water damage from firefighting efforts that can cause mold if not handled immediately. You’re not just dealing with what’s obviously damaged. You’re dealing with contamination throughout your home that gets worse every day it’s not properly addressed.
Here’s what your life looks like when the fire damage repair job’s done right. You walk into a home that doesn’t smell like smoke. Your walls aren’t stained. Your belongings that could be saved actually were saved. The structural damage has been repaired correctly the first time, so you don’t have problems cropping up months later. You can breathe easy knowing the air in your home is clean and safe for your family.
Most importantly, you don’t have to become an expert in fire restoration, navigate insurance claims alone, or wonder if the work was done properly. That’s what we handle, so you can focus on getting your life back together.
We’re Flood Guys Restoration, and we’ve been helping Clarke Square, WI families recover from disasters for years. We’re not a national chain that sends different crews every time. We’re local, family-owned, and we understand what Milwaukee winters do to fire-damaged properties—how water can freeze in damaged pipes, how humidity affects drying times, and why immediate fire damage repair matters even more here than in other climates.
Clarke Square residents know that when disaster hits, you need someone who can be there fast and get it right the first time. We respond within 90 minutes of your call, and we follow IICRC standards because proper fire restoration isn’t something you get a second chance at. Your neighbors have trusted us with their most difficult situations, and we’ve earned that trust by treating every home like it’s our own.
When you call us, you’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting an honest assessment and a clear plan to get your home back to the way it was—or better.
First, we assess everything—not just the obvious damage, but the hidden problems that can cause bigger issues later. We check for structural damage, measure moisture levels, and identify all areas affected by smoke and soot. This isn’t a quick walkthrough. It’s a thorough fire damage inspection that lets us give you an accurate timeline and cost estimate.
Next, we secure your property and remove any standing water. Fire and water damage often go hand in hand, and in Clarke Square, WI’s climate, wet materials can develop mold problems within 24-48 hours. We extract water, set up drying equipment, and begin the process of removing smoke and soot from all affected surfaces.
Then comes the detailed cleaning and fire restoration work. We use specialized equipment to remove smoke odors from your HVAC system, clean soot from walls and ceilings, and restore salvageable belongings. If structural repairs are needed, we handle those too—from drywall replacement to major reconstruction. Finally, we do a complete inspection to make sure everything meets our standards and yours before we consider the job finished.

Fire damage repair in Clarke Square, WI isn’t just about cleaning up what you can see. Smoke travels through your entire home—through vents, into closets, behind walls. Soot settles on surfaces throughout the house, not just in the room where the fire started. And the water used to put out the fire can cause its own set of problems if not properly dried and treated.
We handle all of it. Structural fire damage repair to make your home safe and sound. Smoke odor elimination that actually works, not just masking sprays that wear off in a few weeks. Content cleaning and restoration for belongings that can be saved. Complete drying and dehumidification to prevent mold growth. And we work directly with your insurance company to document everything properly and help you get the coverage you’re entitled to.
Clarke Square homes face unique challenges—older construction that can complicate fire restoration work, harsh winters that affect drying times, and the need for contractors who understand local building codes and permit requirements. We’ve been handling these challenges for years, and we know how to navigate them efficiently so your fire damage restoration doesn’t get delayed by preventable problems.
We provide 24/7 emergency fire damage repair response and typically arrive within 90 minutes of your call. Time is critical after a fire—smoke and soot continue causing damage every hour, and any water from firefighting efforts needs immediate attention to prevent mold growth.
Our rapid response isn’t just about getting there fast. It’s about immediately stopping further damage from occurring. We’ll secure your property, begin water extraction if needed, and start the process of preventing smoke and soot from penetrating deeper into materials. The faster we can begin proper fire damage mitigation, the more of your home and belongings we can typically save.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do cover fire damage, including the restoration work needed to return your home to its pre-loss condition. However, coverage details vary between policies, and the claims process can be complex.
We work directly with insurance companies and adjusters regularly. We document all fire damage thoroughly, provide detailed estimates using industry-standard software, and communicate directly with your adjuster throughout the process. Our goal is to make sure you get the full coverage you’re entitled to while minimizing the paperwork and hassle on your end. We can also help you understand what your policy covers and identify any gaps before they become problems.
Smoke odor elimination requires more than just cleaning visible surfaces—it requires removing smoke particles that have penetrated into porous materials throughout your home. We use a combination of specialized cleaning techniques, ozone treatment, thermal fogging, and HVAC system cleaning to eliminate odors at the source.
First, we clean all surfaces with professional-grade products designed specifically for smoke residue. Then we treat your HVAC system, ductwork, and any porous materials that have absorbed smoke. For stubborn odors, we use ozone generators or thermal fogging to neutralize odor molecules in areas that can’t be reached through conventional cleaning. The process isn’t complete until we can guarantee the odors are gone for good, not just temporarily masked.
Fire damage involves direct burning—charred materials, structural damage, and areas that need rebuilding. Smoke damage is often more extensive than the fire damage itself because smoke travels throughout your entire home, affecting rooms that weren’t touched by flames.
Smoke damage requires specialized cleaning techniques because different types of fires produce different types of residue. Protein fires leave a strong odor but may not leave visible residue. Synthetic materials create sticky residues that are difficult to remove. We identify the type of smoke damage in your home and use the appropriate cleaning methods for each affected area. Often, smoke damage restoration is more time-consuming than repairing the actual fire damage because it affects so many surfaces throughout the home.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential fire restoration projects take anywhere from a few days for minor damage to several weeks for major reconstruction. Factors that affect timing include the size of the affected area, whether structural repairs are needed, and how much water damage occurred during firefighting.
Clarke Square, WI’s climate can also affect timing—high humidity slows drying times, and winter conditions can complicate certain types of repair work. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is to get you back in your home as quickly as possible while ensuring all fire damage repair work is done properly. Rushing the process often leads to problems later, so we focus on doing it right the first time rather than doing it fast.
Many personal belongings can be restored, even when they appear to be total losses. We evaluate each item individually and use specialized cleaning techniques for different materials—electronics, documents, clothing, furniture, and artwork all require different approaches.
Items that can often be saved include clothing (through specialized dry cleaning), electronics (through ultrasonic cleaning), documents (through freeze-drying), and furniture (through detailed cleaning and refinishing). We work with specialized restoration facilities for items that require off-site treatment. However, some items may be too damaged to restore safely, and we’ll be honest about what can and cannot be saved. Our goal is to restore everything possible while ensuring that restored items are safe and won’t cause ongoing problems in your home.
