Flood Guys Restoration has been serving South Milwaukee and the greater Milwaukee metro area for years. We understand Wisconsin weather—from sudden summer storms to winter freeze-thaw cycles that cause unexpected damage.
As a family-owned business operating within a 35-mile radius of Milwaukee, we know your neighborhood. We’ve seen what August’s catastrophic storms did to Southeast Wisconsin, and we’ve helped dozens of local families get back on their feet.
Our team responds 24/7 because storms don’t wait for business hours. When you call, you’re talking to people who live and work in your community.
First, we assess everything. Our technicians document all damage, identify safety hazards, and create a restoration plan that addresses your specific situation. You’ll know exactly what needs to happen and how long it will take.
Next comes immediate damage control. We extract standing water, secure openings in your roof or walls, and start the drying process. Our industrial equipment prevents mold growth and secondary damage that could cost thousands more later.
Finally, we restore and repair. Damaged drywall gets replaced, flooring gets restored, and everything returns to pre-storm condition. We handle insurance documentation throughout the process, so you don’t have to become an expert in claims paperwork.

Storm damage cleanup in South Milwaukee means dealing with multiple problems at once. Wind damage, water intrusion, debris removal, structural repairs—we handle all of it.
South Milwaukee’s location near Lake Michigan creates unique challenges. Lake-effect storms can dump massive amounts of rain in short periods, overwhelming drainage systems and causing flash flooding. The area’s older housing stock, with basements and crawl spaces, requires specialized drying techniques to prevent long-term moisture problems.
Our services include emergency board-up, water extraction, structural drying, debris removal, and complete reconstruction. We work directly with insurance adjusters to ensure you get proper coverage for storm-related damage, including wind damage that might not be immediately obvious.
We maintain 24/7 emergency response capability throughout the Milwaukee metro area, typically arriving within 90 minutes of your call. Storm damage gets worse by the hour—water spreads, materials absorb moisture, and mold can start growing within 24-48 hours.
Our rapid response includes immediate damage assessment, emergency water extraction, and temporary protection like roof tarping or board-up services. The faster we can stop additional damage, the less expensive and disruptive your restoration becomes.
We handle the full spectrum of storm-related damage: wind damage to roofs and siding, water damage from driven rain or flooding, fallen tree damage, and storm-related power outages that cause secondary problems like sump pump failures.
South Milwaukee’s proximity to Lake Michigan means we also deal with unique weather patterns—sudden microbursts, lake-effect snow that causes ice dams, and rapid temperature changes that can burst pipes. Our team understands how Wisconsin weather affects local homes and businesses.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden storm damage, including wind damage, hail damage, and water damage caused by storm-related roof or window failures. However, coverage can be complex, especially when multiple types of damage occur simultaneously.
We work directly with insurance adjusters to document all damage properly and ensure you receive fair compensation. Our detailed assessment reports help prevent claim denials and ensure nothing gets missed during the adjustment process. We understand Wisconsin insurance requirements and can advocate for proper coverage.
Mold prevention starts immediately with rapid water extraction and professional drying. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to ensure all materials reach proper dryness levels—not just surface dry, but thoroughly dry throughout.
Our systematic drying process includes monitoring moisture levels in walls, floors, and structural materials daily until everything reaches acceptable levels. We also remove and dispose of materials that cannot be properly dried, like soaked insulation or severely damaged drywall, before mold can establish itself.
First, ensure everyone’s safety—stay away from downed power lines, standing water, and unstable structures. If it’s safe, try to stop additional water intrusion by placing tarps or buckets, but don’t attempt major repairs yourself.
Document everything with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling professionals. The first 24 hours are critical for preventing secondary damage. We can provide guidance over the phone about immediate safety concerns while dispatching our emergency response team to your location.
Timeline depends on damage severity, but most residential storm damage restoration takes 3-7 days for drying and 1-3 weeks for complete restoration. Extensive structural damage or insurance complications can extend the timeline.
We provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated throughout the process. Our goal is getting you back home as quickly as possible while ensuring all work meets industry standards. We won’t rush critical steps like proper drying that prevent future problems.
