Fast help for water damage, sewage backup, mold, and fire cleanup near Loyola University, Loyola Beach, and the Glenwood Avenue Arts District. 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 cleaned up just about every mess a lakefront winter, a burst pipe, or a backed-up sewer line can leave behind.
Rogers Park is one of Chicago’s most diverse, densely built neighborhoods — vintage courtyard apartments, walk-ups, and rentals packed close together near Loyola University, the beaches at Loyola and Howard, and the shops along Morse and the Glenwood Avenue Arts District. With so many multi-unit buildings and student rentals, one leak or backup can affect several homes on the same line before anyone reports it.
The lake keeps moisture close, too, and older Rogers Park basements hold that damp air long after the surface dries. A slow leak behind a shared wall or a wet lower level after heavy rain can turn into mold if it isn’t handled fast. Because we’ve worked these blocks for decades, we know where water travels in a Rogers Park building and how fast it needs drying. That local read saves time on every job.
Dense apartments and lakefront moisture make these the calls we get most.
A leak on an upper floor moves through ceilings and reaches the units below.
Humidity off the lake settles into basements and lower units and feeds mold.
Old supply lines in vintage courtyard buildings fail and flood the flats around them.
Heavy rain overwhelms the line and dirty water pushes up through basement drains.
A cold snap freezes a pipe, it splits, and a unit floods overnight.
A kitchen fire leaves soot in hallways and shared spaces, plus a lingering smell.
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 shared 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 Clean Up Guys were timely, professional and very easy to work with. They finished the job Quickly and as promised at a very reasonable price. We would definitely use this Company again”
“The crew began work two days later and operated with speed and professionalism. The restoration involved cutting away approximately a foot of drywall and insulation around the basement perimeter. They replaced all materials and installed baseboards that were an upgrade over the originals. Additionally, the paint matching was precise; the repairs are indistinguishable from the original walls. I am highly satisfied with the quality of work and will call them directly for any future repairs.”
“Anyway, The CleanUP Guys showed up the next day and did a fantastic job with the basement cleaning services and mold remediation. I have to admit, the basement just smells better since we had the cleaning done professionally. I think we are going to get the mold removal services of The CleanUP Guys each time we have an issue from now on.”

Yes. Many Rogers Park buildings are courtyard apartments and rentals where water travels between units. We coordinate with owners and property managers, check neighboring units, and dry the whole path so one leak doesn’t turn into repeat calls across the building.
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.
