We at Flood Guys Restoration understand Avenues West like few others do. We’ve been serving Milwaukee’s near west side through basement floods in century-old homes, burst pipes in student housing, and storm damage that tests even the sturdiest buildings.
Our team knows the unique challenges of this neighborhood—from the historic architecture that requires careful handling to the mix of rental properties and family homes that need different approaches. We’ve worked with Marquette students dealing with apartment floods and homeowners protecting their investment properties.
When water damage strikes in Avenues West, you’re getting local expertise that understands both the community and the technical demands of proper water removal and restoration.
First, we assess the damage completely—not just what you can see, but hidden moisture that could cause problems later. Our technicians use specialized equipment to detect water in walls, under floors, and in spaces you’d never think to check.
Next comes immediate water extraction using industrial-grade equipment that removes standing water fast. We’re not talking about shop vacs—this is professional equipment designed to handle serious water removal quickly and thoroughly.
Then we set up our drying and dehumidification system. This isn’t a “wait and hope” approach—we monitor moisture levels daily and adjust our equipment until everything reaches proper dryness standards. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when your property will be ready.

Our water removal service covers everything from initial emergency response to final restoration. You get immediate water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, mold prevention, and coordination with your insurance company.
In Avenues West, we see everything from basement flooding in older homes to appliance failures in apartment buildings. Wisconsin’s weather patterns—from spring thaws to summer storms—create specific challenges that require local knowledge and proper equipment.
We handle the insurance paperwork, document everything for your claim, and work directly with adjusters so you don’t have to become a water damage expert overnight. Our goal is getting your property back to pre-damage condition while you focus on your life, work, or studies.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 60-90 minutes of your call. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Time is critical with water damage—mold can start growing within 24-48 hours, and the longer water sits, the more expensive the restoration becomes. Our rapid response team is equipped with industrial water extraction equipment and arrives ready to start the removal process immediately.
For Avenues West residents, this quick response is especially important given the area’s mix of older buildings and dense housing where water can affect multiple units or cause structural issues if not addressed immediately.
Insurance coverage depends on the cause of water damage and your specific policy. Sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes is typically covered, while gradual leaks or flood damage may not be.
We work directly with insurance companies and help document everything properly for your claim. Our team photographs all damage, provides detailed reports, and communicates with adjusters throughout the process so you don’t have to navigate the insurance maze alone.
For Avenues West residents in rental properties, we also work with landlords and property managers to ensure proper documentation and coordination between tenant and property owner insurance policies when applicable.
Our comprehensive service includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, moisture monitoring, mold prevention treatment, and coordination with your insurance company.
We use industrial-grade water extraction equipment, commercial dehumidifiers, and air movers to remove water and moisture completely. Our technicians monitor the drying process daily with specialized moisture meters to ensure everything reaches proper dryness levels before we consider the job complete.
The service also includes moving and protecting your belongings, documenting all damage for insurance purposes, and handling any necessary repairs to restore your property to its pre-damage condition.
Mold prevention starts with immediate, thorough water removal and proper drying techniques. We extract all standing water quickly, then use commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture from all affected materials.
Our technicians monitor moisture levels in walls, floors, and other materials daily using specialized equipment. We don’t just dry the surface—we ensure moisture is eliminated from inside wall cavities, under flooring, and in other hidden areas where mold typically starts.
When necessary, we apply antimicrobial treatments to affected areas and may remove damaged materials that cannot be properly dried. In Avenues West’s older buildings, this thorough approach is especially important since moisture can hide in places that aren’t immediately obvious.
Most water removal projects take 3-5 days for complete drying, but the timeline depends on the extent of damage, materials affected, and environmental conditions.
We typically extract standing water within the first few hours, but proper structural drying takes time. Hardwood floors, drywall, and insulation all dry at different rates, and rushing the process leads to problems later. Our equipment runs continuously, and we monitor progress daily to ensure thorough drying.
For Avenues West properties with older construction materials or unique architectural features, we may need additional time to ensure proper drying without damaging historic elements or original woodwork that makes these properties special.
Yes, we regularly work with property managers, landlords, and property owners throughout the Avenues West area. We understand the unique challenges of rental properties and multi-unit buildings common in this neighborhood.
Our service includes coordinating between tenants and property owners, handling insurance claims that may involve multiple parties, and working around tenant schedules when possible. We also provide detailed documentation that property managers need for their records and insurance purposes.
For investment properties in Avenues West, we focus on restoration methods that minimize tenant displacement while ensuring thorough water removal and damage prevention. We know that rental income matters, so we work efficiently to get units back to rentable condition quickly.
