When flood water hits your Old North Milwaukee home, every hour counts. The longer water sits, the more it spreads through walls, floors, and into places you can’t see. That’s when your cleanup bill skyrockets and mold starts growing.
We stop the damage fast. Our certified technicians arrive with industrial pumps, moisture detectors, and dehumidifiers that pull every drop of water out of your property. No guessing, no shortcuts.
Within 72 hours, your home is dry, sanitized, and safe. Your family can breathe easy knowing the job was done right the first time.
We’ve been serving Old North Milwaukee families for years, and we’ve seen what these spring storms can do. We know how Lincoln Creek overflows during heavy rains. We understand why basements in this area flood when the city’s aging sewer system gets overwhelmed.
That local knowledge matters when your basement is under water at 2 AM. We’re not some out-of-state franchise learning your neighborhood on the job. We’re your neighbors, and we’ve been cleaning up flood damage in Milwaukee long enough to know exactly what works.
Our family-owned business means you get personal attention, not a corporate checklist. When we say we’ll be there in an hour, we mean it.
First, we assess the damage and stop any ongoing water intrusion. Our team identifies the water source, measures moisture levels, and maps out exactly what needs to be dried.
Next comes water extraction. We use powerful pumps to remove standing water, then deploy air movers and dehumidifiers to pull moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces. Our thermal imaging cameras find wet spots you’d never see.
Finally, we sanitize everything. Flood water in Old North Milwaukee often contains sewage and bacteria. We treat all affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, then monitor humidity levels until your home is completely dry and safe.

Your flood damage cleanup includes complete water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, and sanitization. We handle everything from removing soaked carpet to drying out wall cavities you can’t access.
Old North Milwaukee homes face unique challenges. Many were built before modern waterproofing standards, and the area’s clay soil doesn’t drain well during heavy rains. We understand these local factors and adjust our approach accordingly.
We also work directly with your insurance company. Most homeowners don’t realize their standard policy may not cover flood damage, but we help navigate those waters. Our team documents everything and works with adjusters to ensure you get fair treatment.
We provide 24/7 emergency response to Old North Milwaukee and arrive within one hour of your call. Flood damage gets worse every hour, so speed matters. Our technicians are on standby around the clock, equipped with everything needed to start water extraction immediately.
We understand that floods don’t wait for business hours. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or middle of the night, our emergency line connects you directly to our dispatch team. We’ll have someone at your door fast, because every minute counts when water is spreading through your home.
Standard homeowners insurance typically doesn’t cover flood damage, but it may cover water damage from burst pipes, sump pump failures, or appliance leaks. The key difference is where the water originates. We work with insurance companies daily and help determine what’s covered under your specific policy.
We handle the insurance paperwork and documentation for you. Our team photographs everything, creates detailed moisture maps, and provides the documentation adjusters need. We also offer direct billing with most major insurance carriers, so you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement.
If your damage isn’t covered by insurance, we work with you on payment options. We believe no Old North Milwaukee family should have to live with flood damage because of insurance gaps.
Mold prevention starts within the first 24-48 hours after flooding. We use industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture quickly, then apply antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces. Our moisture meters ensure everything is completely dry before we consider the job finished.
Milwaukee’s humid climate makes mold growth especially likely after floods. We monitor humidity levels throughout the drying process and use thermal imaging to find hidden moisture pockets. Every surface that contacted flood water gets treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions.
We also remove and properly dispose of materials that can’t be salvaged, like soaked insulation or carpet padding. This prevents mold from growing in hidden spaces and causing health problems later.
Flood cleanup costs vary based on the amount of water, affected area size, and damage severity. A typical basement flood in Old North Milwaukee ranges from $3,000 to $15,000, depending on whether we’re dealing with clean water or contaminated sewage backup.
We provide upfront estimates before starting work, so there are no surprises. Our pricing includes water extraction, drying equipment, antimicrobial treatment, and disposal of damaged materials. We never add hidden fees or charge for services you don’t need.
Many customers find that acting quickly actually saves money. The longer water sits, the more it spreads and the more materials need replacement. Fast response often means the difference between drying and replacing your flooring.
Most flood cleanup projects in Old North Milwaukee take 3-5 days from start to finish. Water extraction happens on day one, followed by 2-4 days of drying time depending on humidity levels and materials affected. We monitor progress daily with moisture meters to ensure complete drying.
Larger floods or sewage backups may take longer, especially if we need to remove drywall or flooring. We keep you updated throughout the process and explain what’s happening each day. Our goal is getting your home back to normal as quickly as possible without cutting corners.
We never rush the drying process. Leaving hidden moisture leads to mold problems weeks later. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than have you deal with bigger problems down the road.
Yes, we specialize in sewage backup cleanup, which is unfortunately common in Old North Milwaukee during heavy rains. When the city’s sewer system gets overwhelmed, contaminated water backs up into basements through floor drains and toilets.
Sewage cleanup requires special safety protocols and equipment. Our technicians wear protective gear and use hospital-grade disinfectants to eliminate bacteria and viruses. We remove all contaminated materials and sanitize every surface that contacted sewage water.
This type of cleanup is more complex than clean water floods because of health hazards. We treat sewage backups as hazardous material situations and follow strict EPA guidelines for cleanup and disposal. Your family’s safety is our top priority throughout the process.
