Dramatic footage shows the specialist fire fighters in an orange dinghy outside a funeral directors on Bridge Lane near the swamped roundabout.
The water appears to be several feet high, it has reached the lower part of the building's windows and almost completely engulfed bollards on the roads.
A spokesman for GMFRS confirmed they were called to the area to reports that people were stranded.
They said: "We were called at 4.05pm to reports of water entering properties on Bridge Lane in Bramhall.
"There is a large area of flooding on the roundabout. Pump crews and boat crews are assisting stranded people using boats."
More footage shared on the I Love Bramhall Facebook page shows large parts of the area near the roundabout underwater.
Firefighters can be seen wading through what looks like a newly formed lake towards the Nisa shop as stunned passersby watch on from higher ground.
Bramhall Park has also flooded.
Several cars are understood to have become stranded in the water, and people are being urged to avoid the area.
