Homes and businesses
Every damage restoration service in Chicago we offer starts with a free inspection. Here’s what we run into most often around the city, and how we handle it.
Most of our calls come from sewer backups in the basement, pipes that froze, and leaks that travel between condo units. We pull out the water, set up dehumidifiers, and come back every day with a meter until the readings tell us it’s dry.

Kitchen fires, space heaters, and old wiring cause plenty of fires here. In a building with several units, the smoke moves through hallways and shared walls fast. We clean up the soot, go after the smell at its source, and replace anything that can’t be saved.

Damp basements and humid summers make mold a regular visitor. We find it behind basement paneling, under carpet, and in garden units. We take care of the moisture first, then remove the mold and dry everything out.

Severe summer storms bring heavy rain, hail, and wind. Winter piles on heavy snow and ice dams. We dry the structure, tear out what’s soaked, and repair the inside.
More about storm damage restoration in Chicago
A frozen sprinkler line in a Loop office or a flooded restaurant in the West Loop can bring business to a halt. We plan the drying around when you need to reopen, and we document every step for your insurance.

More about reconstruction in Chicago
In Chicago, a lot of leaks start when the temperature drops below zero. Pipes in outside walls and back porches freeze, crack, and let go once they thaw. In condos and two flats, a leak upstairs can come right through your ceiling. Our Chicago restoration team finds the source, gets the standing water out, dries the wet areas, and fixes the damage before it spreads.

Mold in Chicago homes tends to hide in garden units, behind old basement paneling, and under carpet laid on concrete. Our team figures out where the moisture is coming from, seals off the area, removes the mold, and cleans up. Then we fix the water problem so it doesn’t come back.
More about mold removal in ChicagoChicago runs on combined sewers, so a hard summer rain can push sewage straight up through basement floor drains. Our team removes it, cleans and disinfects everything it touched, and dries the area. Anything that isn’t safe to keep gets hauled out. We work quickly so you can get back home.

We dealt with long rainy seasons and honestly didn't know who to call. Nate showed up, got the water out, and set up the drying equipment same day. Professional, answered every question, and the place doesn't smell or feel damp anymore. Would use them again.
Very professional, I appreciated how in-depth Jamie was able to explain both what the issues were, and how to solve them, both on his end and with how I can prevent them in the future. Plus, he was a cool guy to talk to. Great experience overall, would definitely recommend.

Chicago weather and housing
Old sewers, cold winters, and stormy summers all add up. In Chicago, water in the basement is a pretty common problem.
The city uses combined sewers. During heavy storms, like the July 2023 flood on the West Side, water backs up through basement floor drains.
The January 2019 polar vortex sent temperatures far below zero. Pipes in outside walls and unheated spaces froze and burst all over the city.
Severe storms can bring inches of rain, plus hail and wind. Flat roofs on two flats and commercial buildings are usually the first to leak.
In stacked units, one failed supply line or toilet can damage several floors.
Most of Chicago’s bungalows, two flats, and greystones have basements, and a lot of them have been turned into garden units. Older plumbing and floor drains that sit low make them prone to backups.
We see these problems across Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties.
Common questions
Keep away from any water near outlets or the furnace. If water is coming up through the floor drains, stop using water in the house. We can pump it out, sanitize if needed, and dry the basement.
Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to keep the damage from getting worse, so calling a restoration company early makes sense. Let your insurance provider know as soon as you can. Our documentation can help back up your claim.
Sudden water damage, like a broken supply line or an appliance that overflows, is often covered. Flooding from outside usually needs a separate flood policy, and sewer backup often needs extra coverage added to your policy. Check your policy or ask your agent to be sure.
Every job is different. The water damage restoration cost in Chicago depends on the size of the affected area, the materials involved, and how much rebuilding is needed. A lot of homes here have finished basements or garden units, which can add to the price. Catching the problem early usually keeps the cost lower.
The inspection and written estimate are both free. We explain the work we recommend and what it should cost, so there are no surprises. We’ll go over any payment details before work starts.
They can. Pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces, and unheated back porches freeze during cold snaps. Shut off the main valve and give us a call.
