- We Work With Insurances
Your flooded basement becomes completely dry and structurally sound. No lingering moisture. No mold growth. No insurance nightmares.
You get professional water extraction that removes every drop, industrial drying that reaches inside walls and subfloors, and complete restoration that leaves your home better than before. Your family moves back into a safe, healthy space.
The stress stops when we arrive. We handle insurance calls, document everything properly, and manage the entire restoration process so you can focus on your family instead of the mess.
We at Flood Guys Restoration have worked in Burnham Park’s pre-WWII bungalows for years. We know how those brick foundations crack, how spring snowmelt floods basements along the gridded streets, and which insurance companies actually pay claims quickly in Milwaukee.
Your neighbors call us because we show up when we say we will, work clean in tight basement spaces, and don’t disappear when the insurance check clears. We’re the local team that understands Wisconsin weather patterns and Milwaukee’s aging infrastructure.
Every restoration we do starts with honest assessment and ends with guaranteed results. No surprises, no excuses, no shortcuts.
Your emergency call connects directly to our dispatch team, not an answering service. We’re typically on-site within an hour with industrial water extraction equipment loaded and ready.
Step one: stop the damage. We shut off water sources, extract standing water, and set up containment barriers to protect unaffected areas of your home. Your belongings get moved to safety immediately.
Next comes the invisible work that matters most: complete structural drying. Our commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously while we monitor moisture levels in walls, floors, and spaces you can’t see. This process typically takes 3-5 days.
Reconstruction happens fast once everything’s completely dry. Drywall, flooring, trim work—we rebuild everything water damaged using materials that match your home’s original character.

Burnham Park’s housing stock creates specific challenges. Those beautiful brick bungalows built in the 1920s and 1930s have foundations that settle over decades, creating entry points for groundwater. Milwaukee’s increasing rainfall intensity—up dramatically over the past 20 years—overwhelms aging storm systems and basement waterproofing.
We’ve restored hundreds of similar homes throughout Milwaukee. Our equipment fits through narrow basement stairs, our techniques work in low-ceiling spaces, and our reconstruction matches the craftsmanship of your home’s era. Every job gets the same thorough approach whether you’re dealing with a burst pipe or major storm flooding.
We typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day. Our emergency response team stays ready with fully-equipped trucks positioned throughout the Milwaukee area specifically for rapid deployment.
Basement flooding spreads damage quickly in Burnham Park’s older homes. Water seeps into foundation walls, soaks into wooden floor joists, and creates perfect conditions for mold growth within 24-48 hours. Every hour we save in response time potentially saves thousands in additional restoration costs.
When you call our emergency line, you talk directly to our dispatch team who can provide immediate guidance while our technicians head to your location. We’ll walk you through safety steps and damage mitigation you can do safely before we arrive.
Coverage depends entirely on what caused the flooding. Burst pipes, water heater failures, and appliance malfunctions typically get covered under standard homeowners policies. Storm flooding, sewer backups, and groundwater seepage usually require separate coverage.
We work directly with insurance companies daily and know exactly how to document damage for maximum claim approval. Our detailed moisture mapping, photo documentation, and repair estimates follow insurance industry standards that adjusters recognize and approve quickly.
Many Burnham Park homeowners discover coverage gaps during emergencies. We’ll review your policy language, help identify what’s covered, and recommend additional protection if needed. Our goal is getting your claim approved and your home restored without financial stress.
Sump pump failures cause about 40% of basement flooding in Milwaukee’s older neighborhoods. These systems work harder than ever due to Wisconsin’s changing weather patterns—more intense rainfall, earlier spring thaws, and longer periods of ground saturation.
Foundation settling creates another major problem. Burnham Park’s pre-WWII homes have had 80-90 years to settle, creating cracks that start small but expand over time. Even hairline cracks can let in hundreds of gallons during heavy rain events.
Storm sewer backups affect many Milwaukee homes when city systems get overwhelmed. The infrastructure in older neighborhoods wasn’t designed for today’s rainfall intensity. Installing backflow preventers and maintaining your sump pump system prevent most problems, but when systems fail, professional restoration becomes essential.
Most basement flooding restoration allows families to stay in their homes throughout the process. We isolate work areas, control dust and debris, and schedule noisy equipment operation during daytime hours when possible.
Drying typically takes 3-5 days with our industrial equipment running continuously. Reconstruction timeline depends on damage extent—minor drywall replacement might add 2-3 days, while complete basement renovation can take 2-3 weeks.
We provide detailed timelines upfront and update you daily on progress. If displacement becomes necessary due to extensive damage or safety concerns, we help coordinate temporary housing and work with your insurance company on additional living expenses coverage.
When we complete professional water damage restoration within 24-48 hours of initial damage, and follow our proven drying protocols, mold growth is effectively prevented. We guarantee our moisture removal meets industry standards that prevent mold establishment.
Mold requires three things: moisture, organic material, and time. Wisconsin’s humidity makes the first condition nearly constant, and your home’s wood framing provides the second. Professional restoration eliminates moisture completely before mold spores can establish and multiply.
We use commercial-grade moisture meters to verify complete drying in walls, subfloors, and other hidden areas where problems develop unseen. Our equipment stays on-site until readings confirm safe moisture levels throughout the affected structure. This thoroughness prevents the expensive mold remediation problems many homeowners face when restoration gets rushed or done improperly.
Safety first: turn off electricity to flooded areas at the circuit breaker, not at wall switches. Avoid walking through standing water near electrical outlets or appliances. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call the gas company.
Call our 24/7 emergency line immediately for professional guidance specific to your situation. We’ll provide step-by-step instructions while dispatching our emergency response team to your Burnham Park location.
Take photos of damage before moving anything, but don’t delay calling for help. Insurance companies require prompt notification, and water damage spreads rapidly in Wisconsin’s humid climate. Remove valuable items from water’s path if you can do so safely, but leave major cleanup to professionals who have proper equipment and training.
