About Anthony's Restoration & Steam Cleaning

Water Damage Restoration Company in Lockport, IL Near Me

Water damage restoration in Lockport runs from old stone to new drywall. The historic downtown grew up along the I&M Canal, and some of the oldest homes there have limestone foundations and plaster walls. Stone foundations let water seep through mortar joints, and plaster on wood lath holds moisture far longer than drywall.

Further out, newer subdivisions west of State Street have finished basements, sump pumps and drywall to the floor. Those homes flood when a sump quits or a floor drain backs up.

Our crew handles both. On older homes we test plaster before deciding what stays, and we dry slowly to avoid cracking. On newer homes we pull wet pad and drywall with a flood cut and run dehumidifiers until readings match.

Why call us for water damage restoration

Lockport, IL Homeowners Call Us for Water Damage Restoration

Water damage restoration in Joliet goes better with a crew that works these houses every week. Split-level rec rooms in New Lenox, plaster ceilings in old Joliet homes, basements where the sewer lateral is still original clay tile: each one needs a different plan.

We measure before we cut. A moisture meter and a thermal camera show where the water went, so we remove what's wet and leave what's dry. That keeps the rebuild smaller.

Sewage backup cleanup is handled as Category 3 every time. Porous materials come out, hard surfaces get washed and disinfected, and nothing is closed up until it reads dry. See Category 3 water cleanup for how that works.

You get records. Photos, daily moisture logs and a list of removed materials go to you and your adjuster. Our claim documentation help page explains what's in the file.

Questions about water damage restoration and sewage backup cleanup

Questions Lockport, IL homeowners ask most about water damage restoration and sewage backup cleanup.

Talk to our crew
Can plaster walls be dried instead of torn out?
Often, yes, if the water was clean and we reach it early. Plaster on lath dries slower than drywall, so we measure it daily. Plaster that touched sewage or floodwater is removed.
Does my homeowners policy cover a sewer backup?
Often only if you added a sewer and drain backup endorsement. Many Illinois policies exclude it by default. Check your declarations page or call your agent. We provide photos and moisture logs for the adjuster either way.
Why do you cut the drywall two feet up the wall?
Drywall wicks water upward past the visible waterline. We measure with a moisture meter, then make a straight flood cut above the highest wet reading, often at two feet, so the wall cavity can dry and the patch is easy to hang.
Do you still do carpet and upholstery steam cleaning?
Yes. We started as Anthony's Steam Cleaning, a carpet and upholstery cleaner in the Joliet area, and we still do hot water extraction on carpet, furniture and area rugs.
Which towns do you cover besides Joliet?
Our crew works Shorewood, Crest Hill, Lockport, Romeoville, New Lenox, Mokena, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Channahon, Minooka, Rockdale, Manhattan, Lemont and Elwood.
