Basement Flood Cleanup in Palatine, IL for Finished and Unfinished Basements

Spring thaw plus a dead sump pump is a classic basement flood. Water comes up through the floor drain, seeps through cracks, and spreads under carpet and behind finished walls. Cleaning it up properly means pumping, extracting, removing wet finishes, and drying a space that naturally holds humidity.

W

Finished Basement Wall Removal

Wet drywall and insulation come out so the studs and foundation wall can breathe.

D

Below-Grade Dehumidification

Concrete gives off moisture for days, so dehumidifiers keep running until the slab tests dry.
