Elm Grove Cleanup and Restoration

The Village of Elm Grove is a community of about six thousand people in eastern Waukesha County. It borders the Village of Wauwatosa to the east and the City of Brookfield in all other directions. It was part of the Town of Brookfield until 1955. SERVPRO is Here to Help these homeowners and business owners with any issues arising from water, fire, mold, or storm damage resulting from the often unpredictable Midwest weather.

Elm Grove’s first twenty residential lots were platted in 1869. By 1880, Watertown Plank Road and the railroad had brought enough settlers that Elm Grove was considered an unincorporated community. In the 1920s and 1930s the automobile made it possible for people who worked in Milwaukee to move to Elm Grove. Then, finally, Elm Grove experienced rapid suburbanization during the Baby Boom after World War II. The village incorporated in 1955, at about the same time as the neighboring City of Brookfield. These defensive incorporations were part of the effort of Milwaukee’s suburbs to stave off absorption by the city. Elm Grove’s population was just shy of five thousand residents in 1960.

Elm Grove’s zoning laws require houses to be built on large lots, which helps maintain a rural character.  According to the U.S. Census, Elm Grove had about six thousand residents in 2016. Elm Grove prides itself on a “small town” image with locally-owned businesses, civic organizations, and a neighborly feeling.
