Smoke damage goes deeper than what you can see. It penetrates walls, seeps into HVAC systems, and leaves lingering odors that regular cleaning can’t touch.
When we complete your smoke damage cleanup, you’ll breathe clean air again. No more acrid smells when you walk through the door. No more wondering if the damage is really gone. Your Walker’s Point property will be fully restored—not just cleaned, but actually restored to pre-damage condition.
We use professional-grade equipment to extract smoke particles from every surface, neutralize odors at their source, and ensure no hidden damage goes untreated. The result is a space that feels like home again, not a constant reminder of what happened.
We’re Flood Guys Restoration, and we’ve been helping Walker’s Point residents and business owners recover from smoke damage emergencies around the clock. As a local, family-owned company, we understand this neighborhood’s unique challenges—from the historic architecture that requires specialized care to the tight-knit community that values trust above everything else.
Walker’s Point is Milwaukee’s oldest neighborhood, and many of these beautiful turn-of-the-century buildings need restoration experts who know how to work with older construction. We’ve seen it all: smoke damage in century-old homes, restaurant fires in the vibrant 5th Street corridor, and everything in between.
When smoke damage strikes your property, you’re not just another job number to us. You’re a neighbor who needs help getting back to normal, fast.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your smoke damage. Our technicians identify all affected areas—not just the obvious ones, but the hidden damage in walls, ductwork, and personal belongings that untrained eyes miss.
Next comes containment and safety measures. We secure the area and protect unaffected spaces from further contamination while we work.
Then we begin the actual restoration: removing soot and smoke residue using professional-grade equipment, treating all surfaces with specialized cleaning agents, and running air scrubbers to eliminate airborne particles. We don’t stop until our testing confirms the air quality meets safety standards.
Finally, we handle repairs and reconstruction. Whether it’s replacing drywall, refinishing surfaces, or coordinating with other trades, we see your project through to completion. You’ll get regular updates throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

Yes, complete smoke odor removal is possible with professional equipment and techniques. However, it requires more than surface cleaning or air fresheners—it demands specialized deodorization methods that neutralize odor-causing particles at their source.
We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators depending on your specific situation. These professional-grade methods penetrate the same areas where smoke traveled, breaking down odor molecules rather than just covering them up.
In Walker’s Point’s older homes, smoke often penetrates deep into porous materials like original hardwood floors and plaster walls. Our technicians know how to treat these materials safely while preserving their historic character.

Smoke damage cleanup requires specialized equipment, techniques, and products that regular cleaning companies don’t have. Smoke particles are microscopic and acidic—they penetrate deep into materials and continue causing damage until properly neutralized.
Professional smoke cleanup involves identifying all affected areas (including hidden damage), using industrial-grade air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and applying specialized cleaning agents designed for soot and smoke residue. We also test air quality throughout the process to ensure complete restoration.
Regular cleaning might make surfaces look better temporarily, but it won’t address the underlying contamination or prevent ongoing damage. Without proper treatment, smoke residue continues to cause discoloration, corrosion, and persistent odors that get worse over time.
Walker’s Point’s historic properties require specialized knowledge and techniques that preserve original architectural elements while ensuring complete smoke damage restoration. We’ve worked extensively with century-old buildings in this neighborhood and understand their unique challenges.
Older construction materials like horsehair plaster, original hardwood, and vintage millwork respond differently to smoke damage and require specific cleaning methods. We use pH-neutral cleaning agents that won’t damage delicate surfaces and adjust our techniques based on the materials we’re treating.
We also understand the importance of preserving historic character while meeting modern safety standards. Our restoration work maintains the property’s original appearance while ensuring complete smoke damage remediation. When replacement is necessary, we work with materials that match the original construction as closely as possible.
