Standing water in your basement at 2 AM isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a race against time before your property suffers permanent damage.
You call us, and within an hour, industrial pumps are removing thousands of gallons while our team maps every wet area with moisture detection equipment. No guesswork, no missed spots, no surprises three weeks later when mold starts growing behind your walls.
Most Cudahy water damage jobs are completely dried within four days. Your family stays in your home, your belongings are saved, and your property value remains intact. That’s what happens when professionals handle water damage correctly from hour one.
We’re family-owned and serve Cudahy with 24/7 emergency water damage services. We understand how Wisconsin weather punishes homes—spring flooding from rapid snowmelt, summer storms that overwhelm drainage systems, and winter pipe bursts when temperatures plummet.
Our technicians live in this area and have restored water damage in every type of Cudahy property, from century-old homes near Lake Michigan to newer developments around Sheridan Park. We know which basements flood first during heavy rains and which neighborhoods see the most frozen pipe emergencies.
When water damage hits your street, you work with neighbors who understand exactly what you’re facing. We treat every restoration like it’s happening to our own family.
We start with a complete damage assessment using thermal imaging and moisture meters to find hidden water in walls, floors, and ceilings. This roadmap tells us exactly what equipment to deploy and how long your restoration will take.
Water extraction comes next with truck-mounted pumps removing standing water fast, followed by specialized tools that extract moisture from carpet padding, subflooring, and wall cavities where water loves to hide and cause problems later.
Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers then create controlled drying conditions that run 24/7 for three to five days. We monitor progress daily with moisture readings, adjusting equipment as needed until everything reaches safe, dry levels.
Repairs and restoration finish the job. Whether that means replacing damaged drywall, refinishing hardwood floors, or rebuilding entire rooms, you get your space back looking better than it did before the water damage occurred.

Every Cudahy water damage call gets our complete service package: emergency extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, content restoration, and full repairs. One company handles everything from start to finish, so you’re not coordinating multiple contractors or wondering if corners got cut.
Insurance claim assistance is included. We document everything with photos and moisture readings, work directly with adjusters, and handle the paperwork that gets your claim approved quickly. Most sudden water damage in Cudahy is covered—burst pipes, appliance failures, storm damage—and we know how to present your claim properly.
Our service area covers all of Cudahy and extends throughout Milwaukee County. Whether you’re dealing with basement flooding on Packard Avenue or storm damage near the civic center, we typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call. Fast response often means the difference between minor restoration and major reconstruction.
Call within the first hour if possible. Water damage accelerates every minute you wait, and what looks manageable now becomes a major problem by tomorrow morning.
Mold starts growing within 24 hours in Wisconsin’s humid climate. Water also keeps spreading through drywall, insulation, and subflooring, expanding the damage area and repair costs every hour you delay professional help.
Too many Cudahy homeowners try handling water damage with shop vacuums and box fans, only to discover hidden moisture weeks later when mold appears or floors start buckling. Professional extraction equipment reaches water you can’t access and monitors moisture levels you can’t measure.
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage. The key is “sudden”—gradual leaks or maintenance issues usually aren’t covered.
We handle insurance claims daily and know exactly how to document damage for quick approval. Detailed photos, moisture readings, and professional assessments give adjusters everything they need to process your claim fast.
Calling us immediately actually helps your claim. Insurance companies want to see you took reasonable steps to minimize damage, and professional response within hours demonstrates that clearly.
Most residential jobs are dried within 3-5 days, plus additional time for any reconstruction work. Timeline depends on water volume, affected materials, and how quickly we can start the drying process.
Day one covers assessment and water extraction. Days 2-4 focus on controlled drying with industrial equipment running continuously. Day 5 includes final moisture testing and equipment removal.
Reconstruction varies by damage extent. Simple jobs might need carpet replacement or minor drywall repair. Extensive damage involving flooring, cabinets, or structural elements can require 1-2 weeks for complete restoration.
Yes, but only if professional drying starts within 24-48 hours. Mold spores exist everywhere, but they need sustained moisture to grow into visible colonies that damage property and affect air quality.
Our industrial dehumidifiers and air movers create conditions that prevent mold establishment. We monitor humidity throughout the process and don’t finish until moisture readings return to normal ranges.
If we discover existing mold during assessment, we handle remediation as part of restoration. This includes containment, safe removal, and treatment to prevent regrowth in affected areas.
Basement flooding is one of our most common Cudahy calls, especially during spring melts and heavy rain events. We have specialized below-grade extraction equipment and understand unique basement challenges.
Basement water often contains contaminants from sewer backups or groundwater infiltration. We test water quality first and adjust cleaning protocols accordingly, using antimicrobial treatments when necessary for safety.
We also help identify flooding sources, working with your plumber to determine why the basement flooded and recommending preventive measures like sump pump upgrades or drainage improvements for future protection.
Safety first—shut off electricity to wet areas if you can reach the breaker box safely from a dry location. Never walk through standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged.
Take photos for insurance documentation, then call us immediately. Remove valuable items from water if you can do so safely, but don’t attempt large-scale water extraction with household equipment.
Avoid using regular fans or opening windows, which can actually slow professional drying and spread moisture to unaffected areas. Our controlled drying process works much more effectively than DIY attempts.
