Fast help for water damage, sewage backup, mold, and fire cleanup near Giddings Plaza, Welles Park, and the Old Town School of Folk Music. Family-owned, 35+ years, on call around the clock.
We’ve worked Chicago’s North 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.
Lincoln Square keeps a warm, old-world feel — the pedestrian stretch by Giddings Plaza, the shops and cafes along Lincoln Avenue, Welles Park, and the Old Town School of Folk Music. Many homes here are classic brick two-flats, greystones, and courtyard buildings that families have held for years, so damage to a basement or main floor hits a space full of history and daily routine.
That older housing is exactly where hidden moisture likes to travel. A wet basement after heavy rain can turn musty by the next day, and a slow leak behind old plaster can spread before it ever shows. Because we’ve worked these blocks for decades, we know where water moves in a Lincoln Square home and how fast it needs drying. That local read saves time on every job.
Classic two-flats and courtyard buildings make these the calls we get most.
Heavy rain seeps into older basements and garden units and soaks stored belongings.
In greystones and vintage flats, water travels behind old plaster before it shows.
In two-flats and courtyard buildings, one leak reaches the next unit fast.
Heavy rain overwhelms the line and dirty water pushes up through basement drains.
A cold snap freezes a pipe, it splits, and a room floods overnight.
A kitchen fire leaves soot film and a smell that clings to walls and contents.
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 old plaster walls.
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.”

Yes, all the time. Lincoln Square’s greystones and two-flats hide water behind old plaster and lath. We use moisture meters to trace where it spread, open only what we must, dry the structure fully, and match the finish so the repair blends into the original.
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.
