The Storms That Damage Milwaukee Properties
Flash flooding
Thunderstorms that drop one to two inches of rain per hour can flood streets, yards and basements within a few hours. Fast extraction limits what soaks into drywall, flooring and framing.
Arctic cold and ice
Arctic outbreaks can freeze and split pipes, and power outages can leave a house unheated. We handle the water after the break and secure openings so the house is protected.
Snow load, ice dams and wind
Heavy snow, ice dams and high wind can damage roofs, flashing, windows and siding. We tarp and board up openings quickly to keep water out until permanent repairs are made.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (414) 360-6532 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
