Water Damage Restoration in Wauwatosa, WI

The Menomonee River runs right through the Village, and Tosa has a long history with it. Back-to-back floods in 1997 and 1998 damaged homes and State Street businesses. MMSD’s response included buying out more than 60 homes, building levees at Hart Park, and digging two detention basins on the County Grounds that can hold about 315 million gallons from Underwood Creek.

That work helps. It doesn’t stop every flood. In August 2025 the river topped 14.5 feet in Wauwatosa, and debris piled up in the Village. Most of our Tosa calls are still basements, though: a sump pump that quit, a frozen pipe, a water heater that let go.

Our office is about 15 minutes away without traffic. We extract the water, open up what needs drying and track moisture daily until it’s dry.

Restoration Services We Provide in Wauwatosa

Plenty of Wauwatosa homes are older, and some still sit on limestone foundations. That shapes how we work. Here is what we handle:

  • Water damage restoration, including drying plaster walls in place when testing shows we can
  • Fire and smoke cleanup, from a kitchen fire to soot that has worked through an entire house
  • Storm and flood restoration after high wind, roof leaks or river flooding
  • Mold remediation in basements, attics and wall cavities
  • Biohazard and sewage cleanup

We also work on offices and storefronts in the Village, along North Avenue and near Mayfair.

Water Damage Restoration In Wauwatosa, WI FAQs

Wauwatosa is 4.5 miles from our West Allis office, so with clear roads a crew can usually be there in about 15 minutes. Rush hour and storm days take longer. We answer 24 hours a day, and we’ll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call.

Homes near the river can face both river flooding and groundwater pressure on the foundation during long rains. The city and FEMA maps show whether your lot is in a mapped floodplain. If it is, ask your agent about flood insurance, since standard homeowners policies usually exclude it.

Often, yes. Plaster on lath handles water better than drywall, and if it hasn’t separated from the lath we can usually dry it in place with targeted air movement and dehumidification. We test before we cut anything. Drywall in a finished basement is a different story and frequently needs to come out at the bottom.

Yes. We work with all major insurance carriers. We photograph the damage, record moisture readings each day and write an itemized estimate the adjuster can follow. Call your insurance company early to open a claim, and keep receipts for anything you pay for out of pocket.

Frozen pipes on outside walls and ice dams are the two big ones. When snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, water backs up under the shingles and runs down inside the walls. If you see staining near the ceiling after a thaw, call us before the drywall gets soft.

We do. Offices, retail spaces and medical buildings need to stay open, so we plan drying and containment around your hours and keep work areas separated from staff and customers. We can usually set equipment overnight. Call our 24-hour line and we’ll walk the space with you.
