You wake up to water where it shouldn’t be. Your basement flooded from last night’s storm. Your hardwood floors soaked from a burst pipe. Your belongings floating in contaminated water.
The panic hits first. Then the questions: How bad is it? Will insurance cover this? How do I even start cleaning this up? Here’s what happens when you call us instead of trying to handle it alone.
We arrive fast with professional equipment that extracts water completely—not just what you can see, but moisture hiding in walls and subfloors. Within days, your property is thoroughly dry, properly restored, and safe for your family. The overwhelming emergency becomes a resolved problem.
We’re Flood Guys Restoration, a family-owned water removal company serving South Milwaukee and the surrounding Milwaukee Metro area. We’ve been helping neighbors recover from water emergencies because we live here too.
South Milwaukee residents know our weather doesn’t mess around. Lake Michigan storms can dump inches of rain in hours. Frozen pipes burst without warning during brutal winters. Sump pumps fail exactly when you need them most during spring flooding.
After the catastrophic August 2025 floods that damaged over 1,800 homes across Milwaukee County, we saw how quickly everything can change. Fourteen inches of rain in 24 hours. Basements filled to the ceiling. Families displaced for weeks. We helped hundreds of residents get their lives back, and we’re ready to help you recover too.
Our water removal process eliminates guesswork and gets results fast. We start with a comprehensive damage assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate every affected area, including hidden water damage that causes problems later.
Emergency water extraction comes next. Our truck-mounted equipment removes standing water quickly while portable extractors handle tight spaces and delicate areas. We don’t leave until every drop is gone from your floors, carpets, and belongings.
The critical drying phase begins immediately. Industrial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers work continuously to eliminate moisture from walls, subfloors, and air spaces. We monitor moisture levels daily until everything reaches safe, dry standards. Finally, we restore and repair any damaged materials, bringing your South Milwaukee property back to pre-loss condition with quality you can trust.

Our comprehensive water removal service handles every aspect of flood damage recovery. Emergency water extraction, structural drying, dehumidification, mold prevention, and complete restoration—all coordinated by one experienced team.
South Milwaukee’s unique location creates specific water damage challenges. Basement flooding from Lake Michigan storm surges overwhelms drainage systems. Sump pump failures during heavy spring rains leave homes vulnerable. Winter freeze-thaw cycles burst pipes in older neighborhoods throughout the area.
We work directly with your insurance company from day one. Our detailed documentation, moisture readings, and progress photos support your claim and speed up the approval process. You focus on your family and getting back to normal life. We handle the technical work, insurance coordination, and complete property restoration.
We provide 24/7 emergency water removal services throughout South Milwaukee and typically arrive within hours of your call. Speed matters because water damage spreads rapidly—what starts as a small leak can become major structural damage if not addressed immediately.
Our response trucks stay fully stocked with powerful extraction equipment, industrial dehumidifiers, and air movers so we can start removing water the moment we arrive. We understand water emergencies don’t follow business hours, which is why we’re available every single day including holidays, weekends, and middle-of-the-night calls.
The faster we respond, the less damage occurs and the lower your restoration costs become. That’s why South Milwaukee residents call us first when water strikes.
Insurance coverage depends on the water source and your specific policy terms. Sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm-related flooding is typically covered. Gradual damage from ongoing leaks or maintenance neglect usually isn’t covered.
We work directly with insurance companies throughout South Milwaukee and know exactly what adjusters need for claim approval. Our team provides detailed damage documentation, moisture readings, photos, and progress reports that support your claim and prevent delays.
We’ll coordinate with your insurance adjuster, provide accurate repair estimates, and handle the paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the claims process alone. Most of our South Milwaukee clients find their restoration costs are largely covered when we handle the insurance coordination properly from the start.
We use professional-grade, truck-mounted water extraction systems that remove water far more effectively than rental equipment or shop vacuums. Our powerful pumps handle everything from minor basement seepage to major flood situations with thousands of gallons of standing water.
For structural drying, we deploy industrial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers that work together to eliminate moisture from affected materials. Moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras detect hidden water in walls, subfloors, and ceiling spaces that could cause mold growth if missed.
This professional equipment costs significantly more than consumer-grade alternatives, but it removes water completely and dries structures properly the first time. That prevents callbacks, reduces restoration time, and eliminates the mold problems that often develop when water removal isn’t done thoroughly.
Mold prevention requires complete moisture elimination within 24-48 hours of water damage. Our industrial drying equipment and continuous monitoring ensure we remove moisture from all affected materials, not just visible surfaces where water pooled.
We use calibrated moisture meters to verify that structural materials like wood framing, drywall, and insulation reach safe moisture levels before considering any area fully dried. If we discover existing mold growth during the water removal process, we immediately implement containment procedures and safe removal techniques.
South Milwaukee’s climate near Lake Michigan creates ideal mold conditions when moisture lingers in structures. Our thorough drying process and moisture verification prevent the mold problems that plague incomplete water removal jobs. We guarantee our work meets industry standards for complete moisture elimination.
We handle all water damage situations common to South Milwaukee homes and businesses. Basement flooding from storm water, sump pump failures, or foundation seepage. Burst pipes from freezing temperatures or aging plumbing systems. Appliance leaks from water heaters, washing machines, or dishwashers that fail without warning.
We’re also equipped for contaminated water situations like sewage backups or flood water that requires special safety protocols and disinfection procedures. Our team follows strict safety guidelines and uses appropriate protective equipment when dealing with potentially hazardous water sources.
Whether you’re dealing with clean water from a supply line break or contaminated water from a basement backup, we have the training, equipment, and experience to restore your South Milwaukee property safely and completely. No water damage situation is too complex or challenging for our experienced team.
Water extraction typically begins immediately upon arrival and can be completed within hours depending on the volume of standing water. The structural drying phase usually takes 3-5 days for most residential water damage situations, though timeline varies based on materials affected and environmental conditions.
We monitor moisture levels daily using calibrated meters and don’t consider any area complete until it reaches safe, dry standards. Rushing this process leads to mold growth and structural problems that cost far more to fix later. We take whatever time is needed to do the job right.
Throughout the entire process, we provide daily updates on drying progress and realistic completion timeframes. Most South Milwaukee homeowners are surprised how quickly we can restore their property when the work is done properly with professional equipment and experienced technicians who know what they’re doing.
