A Chicago homeowner called us at 11 PM after discovering their sump pump had failed during a heavy rainstorm, leaving several inches of standing water across their entire basement floor.

Our crew arrived within 90 minutes with a truck-mounted extraction unit capable of pulling 150 gallons per minute, which removed the bulk of the standing water in under 45 minutes.

We followed that with portable extractors to pull residual water out of carpet seams and from along the base of the walls where water had wicked upward.

By 2 AM, the basement was free of standing water and we had air movers running to begin the drying phase.

Standing water turns into mold and structural damage fast. Call now to stop the damage before it spreads.

An electrical fire damaged this Chicago home, and the smoke made the damage even worse. It seeped into walls and insulation, leaving odors no surface cleaning can remove.

We stripped the affected areas to the studs, removed all soot and charred materials, and ran industrial air scrubbers and fans to clean the air completely.

We work with GreenSky Financing to offer flexible payment plans with 0% interest, so you can restore your home without paying everything up front.

A pipe burst in this Skokie ceiling, sending water through the drywall and insulation.

The ceiling started to collapse as the insulation soaked through.

We removed the damaged ceiling and stripped the exterior wall down to the masonry. Then we exposed the studs and joists so we could place air movers and dry the structure from the inside.

If you close up wet materials, the water damage will continue to spread behind the walls,

If you hear water running inside your walls, call us right away for emergency restoration services.

A burst pipe in an adjacent room pushed water under the laminate flooring in this Lakeview condo.

The floor looked fine from the top, but the laminate absorbs water from below. When we lifted it, the underside was swollen and moldy.

We removed the damaged laminate and the soaked foam underlayment to expose the concrete subfloor, and we're now running industrial dehumidifiers to dry it out completely before new flooring goes in.

A pipe burst on the 4th floor of this Evanston condo building, and the water didn't stop there.

It spread all the way down, hitting every unit below and damaging ceilings, walls, and floors throughout the building.

Watch our ServiceMaster by Zaba team go floor by floor through the entire cleanup process: from assessing the damage and packing out belongings to tearing out materials and drying everything out the right way.

A slow drip from a toilet supply line soaked the wall framing in this Gold Coast home for weeks before the homeowner noticed anything wrong.

By the time we arrived, the lower half of the bathroom wall was soft to the touch, and mold had already started growing on the studs behind the drywall.

Here's what we did:

✅ Cut out the bottom section of drywall and remove the baseboards to expose the wet framing
✅ Set up professional air movers inside the open wall cavity to dry the studs completely
✅ Prepared the area for new tile on a fully dry, structurally sound wall

📍 Serving Gold Coast, Streeterville & surrounding areas in Chicago.

Spring in Niles is rough on carpets and area rugs.

Between the salt, the wet boots, and all the grit that gets tracked in, it doesn't take long for fibers to feel rough and matted down.

By March, this living room carpet had a full season of buildup packed deep into it - and no amount of vacuuming was going to fix that.

We brought in our truck-mounted steam extraction system and flushed all that salt and soil out from deep in the fibers.
