Local restoration help for Portage Park homes and businesses

The CleanUP Guys provide restoration services Portage Park residents rely on after water, sewage, mold, fire, or storm damage. That means pumping out water, drying the structure, removing what can’t be saved, killing odors, and getting the space back to safe and dry — handled 24/7 at (773) 885-8528.

We’ve worked Chicago’s North and Northwest Side for 35+ years. We’re family-owned, we hold a 4.7-star rating across 142 reviews, and we’ve cleaned up just about every mess a hard Chicago winter, a burst pipe, or a backed-up sewer line can leave behind.

Portage Park has a strong community feel — brick bungalows and single-family homes, long-time apartment buildings, and the busy shopping around Six Corners, the park itself, Wilson Park, and the historic Portage Theater. Many homes here have age and character, plus older basements and finished lower levels that need extra attention after heavy rain or sewer trouble.

That mix is exactly where damage likes to hide. A musty smell after a storm can mean water is already moving along a basement wall. A failed sump pump or toilet backup can leave a lower level soaked on a tight timeline. Because we’ve worked the Northwest Side for decades, we know where water travels in these bungalows and how fast it needs drying. That local read saves time on every job.

Why Portage Park Calls Us

What causes damage in Portage Park homes?

Older bungalows and finished basements make these the calls we get most.

Sump Pump Failures

A failed pump during heavy rain leaves a lower level soaked in minutes.

Basement Water

Storm water seeps into finished lower levels and soaks carpet, drywall, and trim.

Sewer & Toilet Backups

Heavy rain overwhelms the line and dirty water pushes up through drains.

Winter Pipe Bursts

A cold snap freezes a pipe, it splits, and a room floods overnight.

Aging Plumbing

Old supply lines in vintage bungalows fail and flood the rooms around them.

Fire & Smoke

A kitchen fire leaves soot film and a smell that clings to walls and contents.

Our Process

How restoration works, step by step

Every job is a little different, but the path is the same.

01

Call & Dispatch

Day or night, a real person answers. We ask what happened and roll out fast if it’s an emergency.

02

On-Site Inspection

We find where the water actually went — behind baseboards, under floors, inside finished walls.

03

Water Extraction

Standing water comes out first. For smoke or sewage, we seal the area so it doesn’t spread.

04

Drying & Dehumidifying

Air movers and dehumidifiers run until the structure reads dry — the step that stops mold.

05

Clean & Sanitize

We disinfect surfaces, treat for bacteria after sewage jobs, and knock out lingering odors.

06

Restore & Walkthrough

Drywall, baseboards, and flooring get replaced and matched. Then we confirm the space is dry with you.

Don’t Wait On These

Signs the damage is still active

Every day you wait, the repair gets bigger. If you see any of these in your Portage Park home, call us and describe it — we’ll tell you honestly how serious it is.

  • A musty or damp smell that won’t leave a room.
  • Warped or buckling floors and bubbling paint.
  • Stains that keep spreading on walls or ceilings.
  • A sewage-like odor near a floor drain.
  • Dark spots or fuzzy growth — a sign of active mold.

“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.”

Common Questions

Portage Park restoration FAQ

Quick answers to what property owners ask us most.

How fast can you get to a home in Portage Park?

For emergencies, we aim for same-day response, and we’re often on-site within a few hours of your call. Portage Park is on our Northwest Side service map, so we’re close. Call (773) 885-8528 anytime — day, night, weekend, or holiday.

My sump pump failed and the basement flooded — can you help?

Yes, fast. A failed sump pump during heavy rain is one of the most common calls we get in Portage Park. We extract the water right away, dry the floor and any soaked materials, check for hidden moisture, and treat for odor so the basement is safe and usable again.

Do you handle sewage backups, or just water?

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.

Will my insurance cover restoration?

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.

Are you licensed and experienced?

Yes. The CleanUP Guys have served Chicago for 35+ years and hold a 4.7-star rating across 142 reviews. We’re family-owned, trained on water, sewage, mold, and fire restoration, and we handle each job with the right containment, drying, and safety steps.

What should I do right after a leak or flood?

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.
