Damage Restoration & Carpet Cleaning in Cleveland | 1-800-BOARDUP

Slab leaks often show as warm spots on the floor, unexplained increases in your water bill, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are on. In Cleveland’s older homes, foundation shifts or corroded pipes can cause these leaks. If a slab leak floods your basement or lower level, we first locate the leak, extract standing water, and use industrial-grade drying equipment to prevent mold. We then repair or replace damaged flooring, drywall, and insulation. Our team works quickly to minimize disruption, especially in neighborhoods like Tremont or Downtown where slab-foundation homes are common.

Garage water intrusion often happens due to rain or flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas near the Cuyahoga River or Lake Erie. To prevent it, ensure your garage door seals are intact and that the floor drains are clear. If water does enter, we provide full water extraction, antimicrobial cleaning, and drying of concrete, drywall, and stored items. We also pressure-wash the garage floor to remove mud and debris. If you’re in Collinwood or near the Shoreway, call us immediately after a heavy storm to prevent structural damage and mold growth.

First, shut off the main water valve and mop up any standing water to reduce saturation. Then call us right away. Our emergency team will extract the water, remove wet carpet and padding, and dry the subfloor thoroughly to prevent warping and mold. For carpet cleaning, we use hot-water extraction (steam cleaning) to remove dirt, bacteria, and odors from salvageable carpet. If the damage is extensive, we can replace the carpet and padding. We serve all Cleveland neighborhoods, from Shaker Heights to West Park, and understand the risk of frozen pipes in older homes without proper insulation.
