When water invades your Sherman Park home, every minute counts. You’re not just dealing with soggy carpets – you’re racing against mold growth, structural damage, and the potential loss of irreplaceable belongings.
We get the water out fast, dry everything thoroughly, and restore your home to exactly how it was before the flood hit. Your basement stays dry. Your family stays healthy. Your historic home keeps its character and value.
That’s what proper water damage restoration looks like – and it’s exactly what you get when you call us.
We understand Sherman Park’s unique challenges. We know how Milwaukee’s spring downpours can turn your 1920s basement into a swimming pool in hours.
We’ve seen what 14 inches of rain in one night can do to historic homes in this neighborhood. We’ve helped families salvage photo albums, furniture, and memories from rising water. We know which insurance companies work with Sherman Park residents and how to document damage properly.
When Sherman Park floods, we’re the team that shows up fast, works smart, and gets your life back to normal.
First, we assess the damage and stop any ongoing water intrusion. Our team identifies the source – whether it’s a burst pipe, sewer backup, or storm flooding – and addresses it immediately.
Next comes water extraction using industrial-grade pumps and vacuums. We remove standing water from your basement, floors, and walls quickly to prevent further absorption into your home’s structure.
Then we set up our drying equipment: commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring tools. This phase typically takes 3-5 days, depending on the extent of damage. We monitor moisture levels constantly to ensure complete drying.
Finally, we restore and repair. This includes replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and fixtures while preserving your home’s historic character. We sanitize everything and perform final moisture checks before considering the job complete.

Our water damage restoration service covers everything from minor leaks to major basement floods. We handle emergency water extraction, structural drying, mold prevention, sewage cleanup, and complete property restoration.
Sherman Park’s older homes face unique challenges. Many have original plumbing from the 1920s, basement foundations that weren’t designed for modern drainage, and vintage electrical systems that create safety hazards during floods. We understand these complications and work carefully around them.
We also know Milwaukee’s weather patterns. Spring brings heavy rains that overwhelm storm drains. Summer thunderstorms dump inches of rain in minutes. Winter thaws can cause sudden flooding when snow melts faster than the ground can absorb it.
That’s why we’re available 24/7, 365 days a year. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
We respond to Sherman Park water damage emergencies within 60 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day. Our trucks are strategically located throughout Milwaukee to ensure fast response times to every neighborhood.
Time is critical with water damage. The first 24-48 hours determine whether you’re dealing with a manageable cleanup or extensive structural repairs and mold remediation. We understand that Sherman Park residents can’t afford to wait – especially with the area’s older homes that absorb water quickly into wood floors, plaster walls, and basement foundations.
Our emergency response includes immediate water extraction, damage assessment, and temporary protection measures to prevent further damage while we develop a complete restoration plan.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, and storm-related flooding, but coverage varies by policy and cause. We help Sherman Park residents navigate the insurance process from start to finish.
We document all damage with detailed photos and moisture readings that insurance companies require. Our team knows which Milwaukee-area insurance providers work with Sherman Park residents and understands their specific claim procedures and requirements.
We can work directly with your insurance company, handling the paperwork and communications so you can focus on getting your life back to normal. If your claim gets complicated, we provide the detailed documentation and expert testimony needed to support your case.
Sherman Park’s most common water damage causes are basement flooding from heavy rains, sewer backups during storms, and burst pipes in older plumbing systems. The neighborhood’s homes, built primarily between 1910-1930, have aging infrastructure that’s vulnerable to Milwaukee’s severe weather.
Spring brings the biggest challenges. Milwaukee can receive 6-14 inches of rain in a single storm, overwhelming the city’s drainage systems and causing widespread basement flooding. The area’s older storm sewers can’t handle these extreme rainfall events, leading to sewage backups through floor drains and basement toilets.
Winter freeze-thaw cycles also cause problems. Original plumbing in these historic homes often lacks proper insulation, making pipes susceptible to freezing and bursting when temperatures fluctuate rapidly – a common occurrence in Wisconsin winters.
Mold prevention starts with rapid water extraction and thorough drying within 24-48 hours. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture monitoring equipment to ensure complete drying of all affected materials, including inside walls and under flooring.
Milwaukee’s humid climate makes mold growth a serious concern, especially in Sherman Park’s older homes where moisture can hide in plaster walls, hardwood floors, and unfinished basements. We check moisture levels in all building materials – not just surfaces – using specialized meters that detect hidden moisture.
We also treat affected areas with antimicrobial solutions and may remove severely damaged materials that can’t be properly dried. Our final step includes air quality testing to ensure your home is safe before we consider the job complete. If mold has already started growing, we provide complete remediation services to eliminate it safely.
Most Sherman Park water damage restoration projects take 3-7 days, depending on the extent of damage and the size of the affected area. Emergency water extraction happens immediately, but complete drying and restoration require time to do properly.
The drying phase typically takes 3-5 days. Sherman Park’s older homes often have thicker walls, hardwood floors, and plaster construction that hold moisture longer than modern materials. We can’t rush this process – proper drying prevents mold growth and structural damage that would cost much more to fix later.
Restoration work (replacing drywall, flooring, painting) adds 2-4 days depending on the scope. We work efficiently while preserving your home’s historic character and ensuring all work meets current building codes. Throughout the process, we provide daily updates so you know exactly what’s happening and when you can expect completion.
First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to affected areas and avoiding standing water if electrical outlets or appliances might be submerged. Never enter a flooded basement if you suspect electrical hazards – call us immediately for professional assessment.
Document the damage with photos and videos for insurance purposes, but don’t delay calling for help. Remove valuable items from affected areas if you can do so safely, but don’t attempt to move heavy furniture or appliances through standing water.
Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency line. The sooner we start water extraction, the less damage your Sherman Park home will sustain. We’ll guide you through immediate safety steps while our team heads to your location with professional equipment to begin the restoration process.
