Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night, and we get the water out of your Plainfield basement and the walls dry so less has to be torn out. Plainfield is on our regular route.
Flooded basement cleanup is the whole job, from pulling standing water to hanging new drywall. We extract the water, pull wet carpet and pad, cut out the soaked bottom of the drywall and set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the room. Every day we take moisture readings, and the equipment comes out as soon as those readings show dry. Then we replace the sump pump if it failed, add a battery backup, and rebuild the walls and floor.
We work in Plainfield every week, coming in on Route 59, Route 126, 127th Street and Caton Farm Road, with I-55 on the east side of town, all in Will County. If a summer storm knocks the power out in Plainfield, the main sump pump stops with it, and the pit can fill and overflow before the lights come back. A battery backup sits in the same pit and runs on its own battery when the main pump loses power or can't keep up. When we replace a failed pump here, we also show you how to test the backup so you know it will run when it has to.
Standing water comes out first with extraction equipment, from the open floor, the carpet and the corners behind stored boxes.
Soaked pad gets pulled and hauled away, and we cut and remove wet carpet so the slab underneath can dry.
We cut the wet lower section of drywall along a straight line, pull the wet insulation, and open the wall cavity to air.
Each day we check the walls, the floor and the equipment, write down the readings and send you a copy.
If the pump burned out or jammed, we pull it and set a new one in the pit with the discharge reconnected.
A backup pump goes in the same pit and runs on its own battery when the power drops or the main pump falls behind.
When you call or text, we ask for photos and send a crew out as fast as we can. Before any equipment is set, you get the daily equipment rates in writing, and the cleanup is itemized as we go. Once the readings show dry, we write the rebuild estimate, and any added work, like damage found behind a wall, is priced in writing and waits for your approval. We book the rebuild around the days we said and finish with a walkthrough of the basement with you.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 any hour, and send a few photos if you can. We get the water out, get it dry and put the basement back.
