Basement Debris Removal in Wauwatosa
After a basement takes on water, everything that got soaked — carpet, pad, paneling, drywall, the sofa and the boxes — has to come out fast. We carry it up and haul it off in one load: carpet removal is $71 per room, and a quarter truck $241.
Tosa and the 2025 Floods
Wauwatosa was particularly affected by the August 9–10, 2025 flash floods, the second-heaviest two-day rain on record in Milwaukee. Milwaukee-area basements also flooded in the twin flash floods of July 2010.
Tosa itself dates to Charles Hart’s 1835 settlement and the town created on April 30, 1840. Its homes are mostly from the 1940s and ’50s, most of them with basements.
