Milwaukee Storm Damage Restoration

What Recovery Actually Looks Like

You walk into a completely dry, clean space that smells fresh – not musty. Your floors are solid under your feet, your walls are dry to the touch, and there’s no lingering worry about hidden mold growing behind drywall. The stress is gone because the job was done right the first time.

Most people don’t realize how quickly storm damage can turn into a bigger problem. Water needs to be extracted and your property dried within 24 to 48 hours after flooding to prevent serious mold issues. When we’re done, you have documentation for insurance, a clear understanding of what was damaged and what was saved, and confidence that your property is structurally sound.

We Know Milwaukee's Storm Challenges

We serve the Milwaukee area with a deep understanding of what storms do to properties here. We’ve seen firsthand the damage from events like the August 2025 floods that caused over $33 million in residential damage across Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Ozaukee counties.

We’re not just another restoration company. We’re Milwaukee locals who understand that climate change is bringing more intense rainfall and greater flood risks to Wisconsin, with 273,400 homes at substantial risk. This means we’re equipped with the right tools and knowledge to handle the specific challenges Milwaukee properties face.

Storm Damage Cleanup Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess the full scope of damage – not just what you can see, but hidden moisture that could cause problems later. We document everything for your insurance claim while we work.

Next, we extract standing water using industrial-grade equipment and begin structural drying. This isn’t just setting up a few fans – we use moisture meters, dehumidifiers, and air movers strategically placed to pull moisture from walls, floors, and hidden spaces.

Finally, we clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, remove damaged materials that can’t be saved, and coordinate any necessary repairs. You get a complete walkthrough of what we did and why, plus recommendations for preventing future issues.

Don’t try to clean up major water damage yourself. Assume anything touched by floodwater is contaminated, including walls, furniture, and personal items.
