Fast help for water damage, sewage backup, mold, and fire cleanup near Peterson Park and Warren Park. Family-owned, 35+ years, on call around the clock.
We’ve worked the far North Side for 35+ years. We’re family-owned, we hold a 4.7-star rating across 142 reviews, and we’ve seen just about every mess a Chicago winter, a burst pipe, or a backed-up sewer line can leave behind.
West Ridge has a mix of older brick homes, two-flats, busy apartment buildings, and neighborhood storefronts — so the work has to be flexible and respectful of the space. When a basement smells damp after a storm, or a kitchen leak spreads into the next room, you want clear next steps and a crew that treats your property with care. That’s the job we show up to do.
This part of the far North Side runs from the streets around Peterson Park and Warren Park to the corridors near Rosehill Cemetery, Devon Avenue, and Western Avenue. Homes here were built in different decades, which means the plumbing, roofing, and basements all age differently — and they fail differently too. Because we’ve worked these blocks for decades, we know where water tends to travel in a West Ridge two-flat and how fast a sewer backup can spread through a garden unit. That local read saves time on every job.
Older housing and hard Chicago winters mean these are the calls we get most.
A cold snap freezes a pipe, it splits, and a lower unit floods overnight.
Heavy rain overwhelms the line and dirty water pushes up through basement drains.
Snow melt and ice dams leave brown stains and soft spots on upper ceilings.
Water heaters, washers, and dishwashers let go and soak the rooms around them.
Fast rain runs into finished basements and garden units on the North Side.
Even a small kitchen fire leaves soot film and a smell that clings to walls.
Every job is a little different, but the path is the same.
Day or night, a real person answers. We ask what happened and roll out fast if it’s an emergency.
We find where the water actually went — behind baseboards, under floors, inside wall cavities.
Standing water comes out first. For smoke or sewage, we seal the area so it doesn’t spread.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until the structure reads dry — the step that stops mold.
We disinfect surfaces, treat for bacteria after sewage jobs, and knock out lingering odors.
Drywall, baseboards, and flooring get replaced and matched. Then we confirm the space is dry with you.

“The CleanUP Guys were timely, professional, and very easy to work with. They finished quickly and as promised at a very reasonable price. We would definitely use this company again.”
“Mike arrived the next day after our basement flooded. His quote came in below my insurance adjuster’s estimate. The crew worked fast, replaced drywall and baseboards, and the paint match is perfect. Highly satisfied.”
“Heavy rain backed up our finished basement. They were the third call I made — the only one who answered and came out that day. Julius and his crew were professional, empathetic, and left it clean, dry, and mold free.”

Both. Sewage cleanup is one of our core services. We remove the contamination, disinfect every affected surface, dry the area, and clear the odor so the space is safe again. Sewage water carries bacteria, so it’s not a job to handle yourself — let us take it.
Often, yes — especially for sudden events like a burst pipe or storm flooding. Coverage depends on your policy and the cause. We document the damage, work directly with your adjuster, and keep the scope clear so you get a fair claim. First time filing? We’ll walk you through it.
Common signs are a musty smell, dark spots on walls or ceilings, and a room that stays damp. Mold usually follows water that wasn’t dried fast enough. If you suspect it, don’t scrub it yourself and spread the spores — call us for an inspection and proper mold removal.

Stay safe first — avoid standing water near outlets, and keep kids and pets away from contaminated areas. Shut off the water source if you can. Move what’s easy to save. Then call us. The faster we start drying, the less damage spreads.
