Flexible Financing & 24/7 Restoration Help
Historic flash flooding devastated the Milwaukee area on Saturday night, August 9, 2025—overwhelming storm drains, flooding homes and businesses, and displacing hundreds of families. With over 14 inches of rain falling in some neighborhoods within 48 hours, the storm has been classified as a 1,000-year flood event, marking one of the most destructive natural disasters in the city’s history.
As residents across the Milwaukee area begin the long road to recovery, ServiceMaster Restore is here to help, offering professional water damage restoration and flexible financing options through GreenSky® to make urgent repairs more accessible.
Saturday Night Storms Cause Widespread Flash Flooding
The Saturday night rainfall caught many Milwaukee residents off guard. Flash flooding quickly submerged roadways, filled basements, and damaged homes and businesses across Wauwatosa, West Allis, Shorewood, and Bay View.
Emergency responders fielded more than 600 flood-related calls, performing water rescues and responding to gas leaks and downed power lines. In the aftermath, the full scale of the damage became apparent—homes were inundated, businesses forced to close, and many families displaced.
Milwaukee’s Resilient Response
As the waters began to recede, Milwaukee's community spirit came alive. Local shelters opened their doors to provide refuge, volunteers from all over the region stepped up to help with cleanup, and neighbors supported one another in remarkable ways. The strength and unity of the Milwaukee area has been inspiring—but the road to recovery remains long.
