Still our city
Portage Park is Chicago bungalows and tired sumps. We still roll from Berteau — it is not a suburb dispatch.
Brick bungalows, Capes, and frame homes from the 1920s to 1950s. Finished or semi-finished basements take the first hit when sewers back up or sumps fail. Galvanized supplies and clay laterals are common. This is weekly work.

On these blocks
What we handle in Portage Park.
02
Winter bursts
Unheated basement lines. We dry the assembly and the living space above if it wicked.
03
Mold if we find it
Contain, remove, verify — then rebuild.
04
Roof and attic leaks
Older bungalow roofs after wind. Dry the attic before it becomes a ceiling job downstairs.
Inland / North Side
Same six moves. Shorter drive from Berteau.
Two-flats, bungalows, and greystones west of the river. Combined sewers and clay laterals are the usual path. Crews leave from the shop, not a regional warehouse.
01
Dispatch
A person on this crew answers — not a bot, not a call center. They gather the loss, tell you what to do until we arrive, and roll a crew.
02
Assess
On-site inspection, moisture mapping, and photos before equipment hits the floor.
03
Mitigate
Extract standing water, contain, protect contents, and stop the spread.
04
Dry & verify
Commercial drying with readings — not guessing by touch.
05
Document
A file the claim can use: photos, logs, and a written scope you also get.
06
Rebuild
If the structure needs it, we stay through buildback instead of handing you off.
