You walk back into a space that feels like home again. The musty smell is gone. Your floors are solid underfoot. The walls are dry and safe to touch.
That’s what proper flood damage cleanup delivers. Not just water removal, but complete restoration that prevents the secondary disasters most homeowners face—mold growth, structural damage, and lingering health risks that can plague your family for years.
When we’re done, you won’t just have a dry space. You’ll have confidence that the job was done right the first time, with no hidden moisture waiting to cause problems later.
We at Flood Guys Restoration know Bayside’s unique challenges. We understand how Milwaukee County’s updated floodplain maps affect your property and insurance requirements.
We’ve seen how Wisconsin’s extreme weather patterns—from spring snowmelts to summer downpours—can overwhelm drainage systems and flood basements in minutes. Our team responds to these emergencies with the urgency they deserve and the expertise your property needs.
When flooding strikes your Bayside home, you need professionals who understand both the immediate crisis and the long-term implications. That’s exactly what we deliver, 24 hours a day.
First, we assess the full scope of damage using specialized moisture detection tools. This isn’t a quick walkthrough—we identify hidden water damage that could cause problems later.
Next comes immediate water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water fast, then deploy powerful drying equipment to pull moisture from walls, floors, and air.
Our final steps involve sanitization to eliminate bacteria and contaminants, followed by repairs and reconstruction. Throughout the process, we document everything for your insurance claim and keep you informed of our progress.

Your flood damage cleanup includes comprehensive water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, and complete sanitization. We handle insurance documentation, coordinate with adjusters, and manage the entire restoration process.
Bayside’s recent floodplain map updates mean many homeowners are discovering new flood risks and insurance requirements. We help navigate these changes while focusing on what matters most—getting your property restored safely and efficiently.
Our service covers everything from emergency water removal to final reconstruction, ensuring your home meets current building codes and flood resilience standards. You get one team, one point of contact, and one comprehensive solution.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Fast response is crucial because water damage spreads rapidly—within hours, moisture can penetrate deep into building materials, making restoration more complex and expensive.
Our rapid response team comes fully equipped with water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and drying systems. We start the mitigation process immediately to prevent secondary damage like mold growth, which can begin within 24-48 hours in Wisconsin’s humid climate.
The sooner we arrive, the more of your property and belongings we can save. Every minute matters when dealing with flood damage.
Insurance coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of the flooding. Standard homeowner’s insurance typically covers sudden water damage from burst pipes or appliance failures, but may not cover flooding from external sources like storms or sewer backups.
With Bayside’s recently updated floodplain maps, many properties now require flood insurance that wasn’t previously needed. We work directly with insurance companies to document damage, provide detailed estimates, and help maximize your coverage.
We handle all the paperwork and communication with adjusters, taking the stress off you during an already difficult time. Our detailed documentation helps ensure claims are processed efficiently and fairly.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water removal and thorough drying. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment to eliminate all traces of moisture from affected areas.
Our process includes antimicrobial treatments applied to affected surfaces to kill existing mold spores and prevent new growth. We monitor moisture levels continuously until they return to normal ranges—typically 48-72 hours for most materials.
Any materials that cannot be properly dried and sanitized, such as saturated insulation or severely damaged drywall, are removed and replaced. This aggressive approach prevents the health risks and property damage that mold can cause months or years later.
First, ensure your safety—don’t enter standing water if there’s any risk of electrical hazards. Turn off electricity to affected areas if you can do so safely from a dry location.
Contact us immediately for emergency response, then call your insurance company to report the claim. Take photos of the damage for documentation, but don’t attempt cleanup yourself—improper techniques can actually spread contamination and make damage worse.
Remove valuable items from the affected area if it’s safe to do so, but leave the water extraction and drying to professionals. The faster we can begin proper mitigation, the more we can save and the lower your total restoration costs will be.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential flood cleanup projects take 3-7 days for the drying phase, followed by 1-3 weeks for repairs and reconstruction if needed.
Factors affecting timeline include the amount of water involved, how long it sat before mitigation began, and which materials were affected. Hardwood floors may need weeks to properly dry, while concrete and tile dry much faster.
We provide detailed timelines after our initial assessment and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is thorough restoration done as quickly as possible—rushing the drying process often leads to problems later, so we ensure each phase is completed properly before moving to the next.
Yes, we specialize in sewage backup cleanup, which requires specialized equipment and safety protocols due to the health hazards involved. Sewage contains dangerous bacteria and pathogens that can cause serious illness if not handled properly.
Our sewage cleanup process includes complete water extraction, removal of contaminated materials that cannot be sanitized, and thorough disinfection of all affected surfaces. We use professional-grade antimicrobial treatments and follow strict safety protocols to protect your family’s health.
Sewage backups are particularly common in Bayside during heavy storms when municipal systems become overwhelmed. We respond immediately to these emergencies because the health risks increase significantly the longer contaminated water remains in your home.
