Extract & dry

The extraction crew pulls the standing water, then air movers and LGR dehumidifiers dry to a verified reading, not just the surface you can see.

Verify & document

The drying team logs moisture readings daily until the structure is dry, then documents the loss for your insurance claim.

Dispatch24/7/365, live pickup

Summer thunderstorms in the western suburbs can drop an inch or more of rain in an hour, faster than yard drains, window wells, and sewers can carry it away. That water finds the low door, the window well, the grade against the foundation, and any weak spot in the roof. Crews respond fast, clear the storm water, and dry the structure before it spreads.

How storm water gets into a La Grange home

Window wells fill and pour over the sill into the basement
Grade that slopes toward the house sends sheet water at the foundation
Wind-driven rain forces its way under shingles and flashing, a roof leak
Overwhelmed sewers surcharge and back up the floor drain, a sewage backup

Clean rain water is very recoverable when it is pulled fast. The danger is water that sits overnight in a finished space and wicks into drywall and flooring.

The storm response

Extract standing water from floors, wells, and the lower level
Find and stop the active entry point where crews can
Dry the structure and finishes with the structural drying gear to a verified reading
Document the storm loss the way an adjuster needs it

the National Weather Service, Chicago issues the warnings for the area, and Ready.gov flood guidance explains what to do before and after the water comes in. When the rain overwhelms the ground, a fast call keeps a storm from becoming a rebuild.

Cutting your storm risk before the next one

Clear gutters, downspouts, and yard drains before storm season
Extend downspouts and regrade so water runs away from the house
Add covers to window wells and keep the wells clear of debris
Have the roof and flashing checked before spring

Watch the window wells

In a hard rain, a clogged or coverless window well fills like a bucket and pours straight through the window into a finished basement. A simple well cover and a clear drain are two of the cheapest flood-prevention steps in an older La Grange home.

Do you handle storm water even if the roof is still leaking?

Yes. Crews extract the water inside and dry the structure, and crews can tarp or stop an active entry point where it is safe to. Crews coordinate a roofer for the permanent repair while crews keep the inside drying.

Is storm and rain water damage covered by insurance?

Sudden storm intrusion is often covered, but rising surface water and sewer backup can be separate. Crews document the source and the loss so you can make the claim your policy allows.

How fast do I need to act after a storm floods a room?

Within hours. Clean rain water that is pulled fast usually means the drywall and flooring can be dried and saved. Water that sits overnight wicks in and turns a dry-out into a partial rebuild.

Why does water come in during only the biggest storms?

Because those storms outrun the drains, wells, and sewers. The water table rises, window wells fill, and the ground cannot absorb it fast enough, so it finds the lowest way in. Crews dry the loss and can point you to the weak spots.

Can you tell storm water from a sewer backup?

Yes. Clean rain water is Category 1 or 2. If it came up through the floor drain and smells, it is Category 3 sewage and needs containment and disinfection. Tell the crew what you see and crews bring the right crew.
