Call or text 24/7 when a leak comes through a ceiling in your Downers Grove home. We find where the water went, dry it out and rebuild the plaster or drywall it damaged.
Any time of day or night, call or text (815) 585-1750 and a crew gets dispatched as soon as we can. Water comes first, even after a fire, so we extract it, open what needs opening and dry the house with equipment we check every day. Sewage cleanup, mold remediation and smoke cleanup follow their own steps. Once the readings show dry, we rebuild: drywall or plaster patching, insulation, floors, trim and paint.
We cover Downers Grove every week, up I-355 and I-88, with jobs off Ogden Avenue, Butterfield Road and Main Street and around the Metra station downtown. Where an older Downers Grove house still has plaster walls, water from an upstairs bath behaves differently than it does in drywall: plaster holds moisture longer and can look dry on the surface while the lath behind it is still wet. We check those walls with a meter, dry them through, and only open what the readings say has to come out. When a section does come out, we patch it to blend with the plaster around it.
When a toilet, tub or shower leaks through the floor, we dry the ceiling below and the joist bays above it, then repair the ceiling.
Meter readings tell us which walls can be dried in place and which need to come out, so we remove only what has to go.
Washer, dishwasher and water heater leaks get extracted and dried before the water moves into subfloors and cabinets.
Backups get the full contaminated-water cleanup, and mold is removed under containment with negative air and HEPA filtration.
Soot is cleaned from surfaces that can stay, and smoke-damaged materials are removed and sealed to control the odor.
New drywall or plaster patches are finished to blend with the walls around them, then primed and painted.
The first visit covers photos, moisture readings and a written list of daily equipment rates, all before a single machine is set up. We come back daily to check the equipment and the readings, and each piece leaves as soon as its area reads dry. Your estimate is written line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and copies of the photos and readings go to you, not just the carrier. Rebuild changes are priced in writing first, and a final walkthrough closes the job.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 any time, and send a photo of the ceiling or wall.
