Our estimate was a lot lower than other Chicago water and fire restoration companies that came out to investigate. The homeowner was also happy with our crew because they were able to explain how the insurance process works.

Sewer backup cleanup and drywall removal
When you have sewage hitting your drywall, it is time to remove the drywall. Sewage contains a lot of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and more toxins, so you need to take it serious.
Wet organic material, like drywall and insulation, begins to grow mold with 2-3 days, so you need to clean it up quickly. When you add sewage to the mix, it is even more important to begin the clean up and drying process right away.
Sewer back up in the basement bathroom
The issue began with a sewer back up in the basement bathroom. Sewage began to come up through the toilet and the shower. There was nearly one foot of sewage in the basement when we got the call.
This wasn’t a cheap sewer cleanup job, but we were several thousands dollars cheaper than the other estimates. We are also going to save the homeowners some money on the rebuild.
Tile flooring in basements works best
Tile flooring in basements work best, especially in Chicago, because you don’t have to replace it due to water or sewage damage. Our home remodeling crew can also give you an estimate for putting tile in your basement.
We are doing vent cleaning and mold removal
We are doing vent cleaning and mold removal work here because of the contamination to the HVAC system. The air system was running when the sewage hit the furnace.
An HVAC company is replacing the furnace due to the water and sewage damage. The air systems has never been cleaned in the property, so it was time for a good air duct cleaning.
While cleaning the air system, our team found a little mold in a bedroom upstairs. Now, the mold wasn’t covered by the insurance company because it was prexisting. However, we were able to take care of the issue without padding the bill.
Our priority is to always take of the customer so we can earn our reputation.
