About Anthony's Restoration & Steam Cleaning

Water Damage Restoration Company in Shorewood, IL Near Me

Water damage restoration in Shorewood usually means a basement. The DuPage River runs through the village, and homes on the lower streets near the river take on groundwater when it runs high after a wet spring. Newer subdivisions off Route 52 have deep basements, sump pits and a lot of finished rec rooms.

When a sump pump quits during a storm, water spreads across the slab and into carpet pad and drywall fast. Our crew extracts it, checks the walls with a moisture meter, and cuts out only what's wet. Then we dry the slab and framing with dehumidifiers and log readings each day.

Sewage backup cleanup in Shorewood is handled as Category 3, with pad and drywall removal and full disinfection. See sump pump backup cleanup and basement water removal.

Why call us for water damage restoration

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

Talk to our crew
Do you handle river flooding in Shorewood?
Yes. Floodwater from the DuPage River is Category 3, so we remove wet carpet, pad and lower drywall, wash and disinfect the slab and framing, and dry the structure. Photos come first for your flood policy claim.
Why does sewage come up through my basement floor drain?
The floor drain is usually the lowest opening in the house. When the lateral to the street is blocked by roots, a collapsed clay tile or a sag in cast iron pipe, wastewater backs up to that drain first. Older homes near downtown Joliet see this often.
Can carpet be saved after a sewage backup?
No. Carpet and pad that touched sewage are Category 3 materials and have to be removed. Carpet wet from a clean water supply line can often be extracted, dried and steam cleaned if we get to it within a day or two.
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.
