Water damage restoration in Evanston, IL

Burst pipes in winter, sump pump failures during heavy rain, or appliance leaks can quickly damage hardwood floors, finished basements, and multi‑unit buildings common in Evanston.

Our water damage services include:

• Emergency water extraction
• Drying and dehumidification (walls, floors, ceilings, contents)
• Structural drying and moisture monitoring
• Sewage backup and contaminated water cleanup
• Carpet, pad, and flooring removal or restoration
• Mold prevention and odor control

We use professional moisture meters and drying equipment to help prevent secondary damage—especially important in older Evanston homes and vintage multi‑family buildings.

Kitchen fires, electrical issues, or furnace malfunctions can leave behind smoke, soot, and strong odors that spread far beyond the source.

We focus on restoring what can be saved and clearly explaining what must be replaced, so you can make informed decisions quickly.
