Fast help for water damage, sewage backup, mold, and fire cleanup near the 606 trail, Holstein Park, and Wicker Park. Family-owned, 35+ years, on call around the clock.
We’ve worked Chicago’s North and Near 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.
Bucktown mixes older workers’ cottages, rehabbed two-flats, and newer condos with the busy shops and restaurants near the 606 trail, Holstein Park, and the Wicker Park edge. Those rehabs and finished lower levels look great, but water can move fast behind fresh drywall and modern finishes before anyone notices.
That’s the part people don’t see coming. A damp smell in a finished basement during a cold snap can mean a hidden leak has already spread behind stored boxes and trim. Because we’ve worked these blocks for decades, we know where water travels in a Bucktown rehab and how fast it needs drying. That local read saves time on every job.
Rehabbed buildings and finished basements make these the calls we get most.
Water moves behind fresh drywall and finishes before it ever shows on the surface.
Storm water seeps into finished lower levels and soaks carpet, drywall, and trim.
Water in one unit reaches the neighbor through shared walls and floors.
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 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 finished 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. In Bucktown rehabs, water often hides behind fresh finishes. We use moisture meters to trace where it spread, open only what we have to, dry the structure fully, and fix the finish so you’re not tearing out a whole wall you didn’t need to.
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.
