We know Wauwatosa inside and out. We’ve been here through the record-breaking August 2025 floods that brought over 500 emergency calls, the spring storms that overwhelm drainage systems, and every basement emergency in between.
We’re the local water damage repair company that responds in minutes, not hours, serving the Milwaukee Metro Area with the kind of expertise that only comes from years of hands-on experience. Our technicians understand exactly what properties in this area face—from burst pipes in historic Village neighborhoods to storm flooding that hits the Menomonee River corridor.
When Wauwatosa families needed emergency help during recent historic flooding, we were there with the right equipment and the right approach. That’s what we do: show up when you need us most, ready to handle any size water emergency with the professionalism this community deserves.
Our water damage repair process starts the moment you call our emergency line. First, we conduct a complete damage assessment—finding every affected area, measuring moisture levels throughout your property, and identifying the water source to stop it immediately. This thorough inspection lets us create a restoration plan tailored to your specific situation.
Next comes rapid water extraction using powerful pumps and vacuum systems that remove hundreds or thousands of gallons quickly and efficiently. Then we deploy industrial-grade drying equipment strategically throughout your property to target moisture that’s harder to reach, ensuring every surface reaches safe moisture levels.
We clean and sanitize everything that can be saved, removing contaminants and odors while protecting your belongings. Finally, we restore your property to its pre-damage condition—replacing drywall, flooring, and any structural elements that couldn’t be salvaged. Every step is thoroughly documented for your insurance claim, making the process as smooth as possible for you.

Our comprehensive Wauwatosa water damage repair services cover every type of water emergency this area faces. Basement flooding from storm overflow and sewer backups, burst pipes during Wisconsin’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles, appliance failures like water heater ruptures, and roof leaks from damaged shingles or ice dams—we handle them all with the same meticulous approach.
Wauwatosa’s unique mix of historic homes near the Village and newer construction throughout the city requires different restoration techniques. We understand how water moves through older foundations with limestone basements, how modern HVAC systems can spread moisture to unexpected areas, and which building materials in your specific neighborhood need specialized handling for effective restoration.
We work directly with your insurance company from day one, providing detailed documentation, moisture readings, and damage assessments that help get your claim approved quickly. Our local expertise means faster response times throughout zip codes 53213, 53222, and 53226, plus restoration methods proven effective in southeastern Wisconsin’s climate and unique soil conditions.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive at your Wauwatosa property within 30-60 minutes of your call, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. Quick response is absolutely crucial because water damage gets exponentially worse by the hour—what starts as surface water can penetrate deep into walls, subflooring, and furniture within the first few hours.
Our emergency response team maintains fully equipped trucks stationed strategically throughout the Milwaukee Metro Area, so we’re always ready to mobilize immediately. Each truck carries industrial water extraction equipment, moisture detection tools, and emergency drying equipment that can start working the moment we arrive at your property.
The faster we begin water extraction and establish proper drying conditions, the more of your property we can save and the significantly lower your overall restoration costs will be. Every minute counts in water damage situations, which is why we’ve built our entire operation around rapid response times.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies do cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related water intrusion through your roof or windows. However, coverage can vary significantly based on your specific policy language, coverage limits, and the exact cause of the water damage.
We work directly with all major insurance companies and have extensive experience navigating the claims process for Wauwatosa homeowners. Our detailed documentation includes comprehensive photos, precise moisture readings, thermal imaging results, and professional damage assessments that insurance adjusters rely on to process claims efficiently and accurately.
Generally, damage from maintenance issues or long-term leaks isn’t covered, but emergency situations like the recent record-breaking Wauwatosa flooding typically qualify for full coverage under most policies. We’ll review your specific policy details during our initial assessment and help you understand exactly what restoration work falls under your coverage before we begin any work.
We handle every type of water damage common to Wauwatosa properties, from minor leaks to major flooding events. This includes basement flooding from storm overflow and municipal sewer backups, burst pipes caused by Wisconsin’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles, appliance failures like water heater ruptures or washing machine overflows, and roof leaks from damaged shingles, ice dams, or storm damage.
We also specialize in the storm-related water damage that’s become increasingly common in southeastern Wisconsin. We understand how Wauwatosa’s topography and aging drainage infrastructure respond to heavy rainfall events, and we know which neighborhoods and property types are most vulnerable to specific types of water intrusion.
Each category of water damage requires different extraction, cleaning, and drying techniques for safe and effective restoration. Clean water from supply lines needs different handling protocols than contaminated floodwater or sewage backups, and we adjust our entire restoration process accordingly to ensure thorough, safe cleanup that meets all health and safety standards.
Mold prevention starts with immediate water extraction and aggressive drying protocols that we implement within the first hour of arrival. We deploy industrial dehumidifiers, high-velocity air movers, and specialized drying equipment to create optimal environmental conditions that prevent mold spores from establishing colonies in your property.
Our advanced moisture detection equipment finds hidden water accumulation behind walls, under flooring, and in other concealed areas that you can’t see but where mold loves to grow. We continuously monitor moisture levels throughout the entire drying process using calibrated hygrometers and thermal imaging, ensuring every surface and material reaches safe moisture content levels before we consider any area completely dry.
If we discover existing mold growth during our restoration process, we immediately contain the affected area using negative air pressure systems and follow strict remediation protocols. The key to successful mold prevention is acting fast—mold colonies can begin establishing within 24-48 hours in moist conditions, which is exactly why our rapid emergency response time and aggressive drying approach are so critical to protecting your property and your family’s health.
Your first priority is safety—stay out of standing water if there are any electrical hazards present, and turn off electricity to affected areas if you can access your electrical panel safely. If possible, try to stop the water source by shutting off supply valves or your main water line, but don’t put yourself at risk trying to access flooded areas with electrical equipment.
Call our 24/7 emergency line immediately, then contact your insurance company to report the damage and start your claim. Take photos and videos of all visible damage for your records, but resist the urge to start cleanup yourself—improper drying techniques can actually make damage worse and potentially void your insurance coverage.
Remove valuable items, important documents, and electronics from the affected area if you can do so safely, but leave all structural drying and water extraction to professionals. We have specialized equipment that extracts water and controls moisture much more effectively than household fans, shop vacuums, or consumer-grade dehumidifiers, and we know exactly how to prevent secondary damage during the restoration process.
Most water damage restoration projects in Wauwatosa take between 3-7 days for the drying and cleanup phase, with the total timeline depending on the extent of damage, the materials affected, and the size of the impacted area. Simple water extraction and structural drying might be complete in 2-3 days, while extensive restoration involving structural repairs and reconstruction can take 1-2 weeks.
The critical drying process typically requires 3-5 days with our industrial equipment running continuously, but we monitor moisture levels multiple times daily and won’t proceed to any reconstruction work until everything reaches completely safe moisture levels. Rushing this phase leads to mold problems and structural issues down the road, so we never compromise on thorough drying.
Local weather conditions do affect drying times, especially humidity levels and seasonal factors. During Wauwatosa’s humid summer months or extended rainy periods, drying may take slightly longer than during drier winter conditions. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline during our initial assessment and keep you updated with daily progress reports throughout the entire restoration process, so you always know exactly where things stand.
