Your Local Flood Cleanup and Water Damage Restoration Experts, Serving Your Community
Sewer backup during a downpour. A plumbing line in an old two-flat that finally gave out. A frozen pipe that split and didn’t leak for weeks. Different causes, same first step: figure out where the water’s coming from. Our certified techs track down the source, then take care of whatever it left behind.
We handle a wide range of water-related emergencies. Here’s what we focus on:

Chicago’s damage problems go deeper than any single storm. The Deep Tunnel project, one of the largest civil engineering efforts in the world, was built to catch combined sewer overflow before it reaches streets and basements. Even with that system running, the heaviest storms can still push water back up through a floor drain. Sitting on Lake Michigan brings its own risk too, shoreline flooding when lake levels run high, and Chicago’s winters are hard enough that a sustained freeze puts real strain on pipes, especially in the older homes you find in a lot of city neighborhoods.
Our IICRC-certified techs handle water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, and mold remediation across greater Chicago, start to finish, from the first extraction to structural drying. We answer 24 hours a day, every day. Midnight or noon, the call gets the same response.

Why Choose the 24 Hour Flood Pros of Chicago?
24/7 Emergency Response
Water and fire damage don’t punch a clock, so we don’t either. We aim to reach Chicago properties within 45 minutes of your call, day or night. A pipe that bursts at 3 a.m. gets the same urgency as one you call in at noon. The first hour or two after water gets in is usually what decides whether a room dries out clean or whether the drywall and flooring have to come out. Our dispatch line is staffed around the clock, no after-hours voicemail, so a technician is already on the way not long after you hang up. That holds even during a major storm, when call volume jumps across the whole city at once.
Advanced Restoration Techniques
We carry moisture meters, thermal imaging, and industrial dehumidifiers, because the water you can see is rarely the whole story. That matters in a city full of older homes. Plumbing that’s been patched and re-patched over decades can hide a slow leak behind a wall for a long time. We don’t guess when a space is dry. We track moisture in the framing, subfloor, and insulation against IICRC standards for the whole job and keep a written log of the readings. That log speeds up your insurance claim and keeps mold from showing up weeks after we’ve left.
Local Restoration Experts
A combined sewer system. Lake Michigan shoreline exposure. Winters that put real strain on old pipes. Chicago throws a specific combination at us, and it’s one our technicians deal with all the time, all over the city and the surrounding suburbs. That’s what lets us spot the real cause fast, whether it’s a sewer backup during a heavy storm, lake water reaching a shoreline property, or a frozen line that cracked weeks before it started leaking. We already know the housing stock and infrastructure here. We’re not figuring it out on your dime.
Customer-Focused Service
We document the damage and the work in detail so your claim holds up, walk you through what we find in plain language, not jargon, and keep you posted on the timeline instead of leaving you to wonder. A vintage two-flat and a downtown business get the same level of care from us. Restoration is stressful enough already. Our job is to handle the technical side clearly and reliably so you can focus on the rest.
What Chicago Customers Are Saying
Sewer backed up into our basement during a really heavy rain stretch and it wasn't pretty. They were upfront about what the cleanup would involve and didn't rush through the disinfection steps.
The old pipe behind the bathroom wall in our two-flat finally gave out after who knows how long. They found it fast and explained why it's common in a building this age.
The pipe froze and cracked in the crawl space during a cold snap in January. Didn't catch it until water showed up under the kitchen floor. They got someone out to us in Evanston the same day and pulled the wet subfloor before it sat any longer.

Chicago Frequently Asked Questions
We work toward a 45-minute arrival window across Chicago and the surrounding area, 24 hours a day, every day. That can shift during a widescale event like a major storm, when call volume jumps across the whole region at once.
Depends on the policy and what caused the damage. Sudden, accidental water damage from a burst pipe is usually covered. A lot of standard homeowner’s policies, though, only cover sewer backup if you’ve added a separate water backup endorsement. Commercial policies vary the same way, so call your provider or agent and find out exactly what you’ve got before you assume either way.
A straightforward extraction and drying job in Chicago usually runs three to five days, depending on how bad it is. Contaminated water, an older building’s aging plumbing, or a lot of material removal will push it further. Our techs will give you a real number once they’ve seen the property.
It comes down to the size of the affected area, the type of water involved (a clean water leak costs less than a sewage backup), how much material has to come out and go back in, and the drying equipment the job calls for. We document the damage and the work in detail, which also backs up your claim if you’re filing one.
If it’s safe, shut off the water supply or the electricity to the affected area, and move furniture and valuables away from standing water. Take photos for your records and your claim. Stay out of standing water if there’s any chance it’s contaminated or near an electrical source, and skip the shop vac or a box fan as a substitute for professional extraction. That can push moisture into parts of the house that are still dry.
