Underwood Creek runs toward the Menomonee River, and the sewerage district's work there, which includes a large County Grounds storage basin, was built to reduce flood risk along the creek. Flood control helps, but it does not stop a basement from taking on water when a downpour saturates the ground or a sump pump loses power.
Preliminary two-day rainfall in August 2025 was 7.99 inches in Wauwatosa. After a storm of that kind, homes and businesses can have water in basements, crawl spaces and lower levels. We extract standing water, remove materials that cannot be saved, and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers while monitoring moisture readings until they are back to normal.
How We Handle Losses in Wauwatosa
Wauwatosa sits in the Menomonee River drainage, where Underwood Creek flows. Short, intense storms can fill creeks, streets and drains at the same time, so groundwater seepage and sewer backup can arrive together and call for both drying and disinfection.
Mold usually follows water in Wauwatosa homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Wauwatosa usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
