When water invades your home, every hour counts. You’re not just dealing with soggy carpets and wet walls—you’re racing against mold growth, structural damage, and mounting costs.
That’s where we step in. Within hours of your call, your Milwaukee property starts the journey back to being the safe, dry space your family deserves. We extract every drop of standing water, dry out hidden moisture pockets, and restore damaged areas completely.
The result? You walk back into a home that’s not just dry, but healthier and safer than before the damage occurred.
We’re not some national franchise with generic solutions. Flood Guys Restoration is family-owned and operated, serving Milwaukee and the surrounding 35-mile radius for years.
We understand what makes Milwaukee homes unique. The aging plumbing systems in Riverwest. The basement flooding challenges in Bay View. The way our brutal winters freeze pipes and our heavy spring rains overwhelm drainage systems.
This local knowledge matters when your home is damaged. We know which insurance companies work best with Milwaukee homeowners, understand our building codes, and have relationships with local contractors when reconstruction is needed.
First, we assess the full extent of damage using advanced moisture detection equipment. No guesswork—we find every affected area, including hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring.
Next comes immediate water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water fast, then deploy commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from structural materials like drywall, subflooring, and insulation.
Throughout the drying process, we monitor moisture levels daily and document everything for your insurance claim. Once completely dry, we handle repairs and reconstruction—from replacing drywall to refinishing hardwood floors. You get one point of contact managing the entire restoration from start to finish.

Milwaukee’s climate creates specific challenges other cities don’t face. Our humid summers accelerate mold growth. Our harsh winters cause pipe bursts that flood basements when you’re at work. Heavy spring rains overwhelm aging sewer systems, backing contaminated water into lower levels.
We handle it all. Emergency water extraction within hours of your call. Structural drying that prevents long-term damage. Mold remediation using containment systems and air scrubbers. Contents restoration for damaged furniture, electronics, and irreplaceable family items.
For Milwaukee’s older homes with unique architectural features, we understand how to restore character elements like original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and period trim work. Your historic home gets the specialized care it deserves while meeting modern safety standards.
We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout the Milwaukee metro area, typically arriving within 1-2 hours of your call. Speed matters because mold can begin developing within 24-48 hours in Milwaukee’s humid climate.
Our rapid response team immediately begins water extraction and starts the drying process to prevent secondary damage. We understand that water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, which is why our emergency crews are always on standby, even during weekends and holidays.
The faster we start, the less damage your property sustains and the lower your restoration costs become.
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the source of water damage. Most policies cover sudden, accidental damage like burst pipes or appliance failures, but may exclude gradual leaks or flood damage from storms.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout Milwaukee and handle the documentation process for you. Our team photographs all damage, provides detailed moisture readings, and submits comprehensive reports that insurance adjusters need to process your claim quickly.
We can even coordinate with your insurance company for direct billing in many cases, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. Before starting any work, we’ll help you understand what your policy covers and what costs you might expect.
Milwaukee’s unique climate and aging infrastructure create specific water damage risks. Our harsh winters regularly freeze pipes, especially in older homes with inadequate insulation. Spring thaws can overwhelm sump pumps that haven’t been properly maintained.
Heavy rainfall events are becoming more frequent, and many Milwaukee neighborhoods have aging sewer systems that can’t handle the volume. This leads to basement flooding and sewage backups, particularly in areas with combined storm and sanitary sewers.
Many of our historic homes have original plumbing systems that are 50+ years old, making them prone to sudden failures. Basement flooding is especially common due to poor drainage around foundations and the low-lying areas near Lake Michigan.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and immediate drying. We deploy industrial dehumidifiers and air movers within hours to create conditions that inhibit mold growth. Milwaukee’s humid climate makes this especially critical.
Our moisture monitoring equipment tracks humidity levels throughout your property, ensuring we achieve proper drying standards before considering the job complete. We also apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces as needed.
If mold is already present, we use containment systems and HEPA air scrubbers to prevent spores from spreading to unaffected areas. All contaminated materials are safely removed and disposed of according to EPA guidelines, and affected areas are treated to prevent future growth.
Yes, contents restoration is a major part of our service. We carefully inventory and photograph all affected items, then determine what can be successfully restored versus what needs replacement for insurance purposes.
Electronics, documents, photographs, and furniture often can be saved with proper techniques. We use specialized drying chambers, ultrasonic cleaning, and ozone treatment to restore items that might seem beyond repair. Family heirlooms and irreplaceable items get special attention.
Items that can’t be restored in your home are transported to our climate-controlled facility for specialized treatment. We pack and catalog everything by room, so when items are returned, they go back exactly where they belong. Our goal is saving as much as possible while ensuring nothing returns to your home unless it’s completely safe and clean.
Timeline depends on the extent of damage, but most residential water damage projects in Milwaukee take 3-7 days for the drying phase, with additional time needed for any reconstruction work.
Small incidents like a burst pipe affecting one room might be complete in 2-3 days. Larger events like basement flooding or whole-house damage can take 1-2 weeks for complete restoration. We monitor moisture levels daily and won’t consider the job finished until everything meets industry standards for dryness.
Reconstruction timeline varies based on the scope of repairs needed. Simple drywall replacement might add 2-3 days, while extensive remodeling could take several weeks. We provide detailed timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process, so you always know what to expect and when you can return to normal life.
