Last week, a homeowner in Wilmette called us after heavy rain caused water to leak around the upstairs windows and soak the surrounding wood and ceiling.

Our team covered the work area with protective plastic before opening the damaged area around the window and ceiling.

We used a wet vacuum to remove the remaining water from around the window and cleared loose debris from inside the open ceiling. We also exposed the wet wood around the window so the affected materials could dry.

After removing the water and loose debris, our team had access to the wet wood around the window and inside the ceiling for drying.

Last month, a homeowner in Edgewater needed help cleaning the garage after a pipe leaked in the utility room and caused water damage nearby. The restoration work left drywall dust, broken building materials, and other debris across the garage floor.

Our crew brought in a utility cart, heavy-duty brooms, and waste bags to clean the area. We swept the drywall dust from the floor, collected loose pieces of building material, and bagged the debris for removal from the property.

After the cleanup, we left the garage floor clear of loose debris and ready for the homeowner to use again.

A few weeks ago, a tenant in Lincoln Park called us after a plumbing joint leaked inside a partition wall. Our team opened the wall and checked whether water from the leak had reached the exposed wood framing.

Our technician used a digital pin-type moisture meter to inspect the exposed header beam. He pressed the meter pins into the wood to measure moisture inside the beam.

The meter allowed our technician to detect moisture that he could not confirm by looking at the wood alone. The moisture reading helped him determine whether the framing needed additional drying.

Two weeks ago, a homeowner in Skokie called us after heavy rain caused the roof to leak, soaking the bedroom and hallway.

Our team arrived within 90 minutes and checked how far the water had spread. We found wet flooring and drywall, with water reaching the subfloor underneath.

We placed several air movers across the bedroom and hallway to dry the wet floors and walls. We also set up a commercial dehumidifier to lower the humidity while the subfloor and drywall dried.

During the drying process, our team checked the flooring, subfloor, and drywall to make sure the affected areas were drying properly.

Last week, a Downtown Chicago homeowner called us after a bathroom leak from the floor above damaged the plaster ceiling below.

Our team arrived within 90 minutes and opened the damaged section of the ceiling to see how far the water had spread. We removed the loose, crumbling plaster while leaving the solid sections in place.

Next, our team cleared the debris and checked the exposed wood framing.

We left the solid plaster in place, so only the damaged part of the ceiling would need repairs.

Over the weekend, a property owner in Niles called us after water from a leaking appliance connection seeped underneath the flooring. The homeowner wiped up the water on the surface, but moisture had already reached the subfloor.

Our team set up drying equipment to direct dry air underneath the flooring and into the wet area below.

Because the flooring was still in good condition, we dried the affected materials instead of tearing them out.

Once our team confirmed the floor and subfloor were dry, the area was ready for further repairs.

A Highland Park homeowner called us for a deep cleaning after years of dirt, tire marks, and grime had made their garage floor look dirty.

Our technician used a commercial floor cleaning machine with a rotating scrub pad and cleaning solution to remove buildup from the concrete surface.

We paid extra attention to areas where dirt tends to collect, including along the garage walls and around the corners.

After the cleaning, the garage floor looked refreshed and ready to use again.
