Damage Restoration Chicago, IL | A Board Up Plus

Crawl space moisture often results from poor ventilation, groundwater seepage, or condensation during Chicago’s humid summers. Left untreated, it can lead to mold and wood rot. Our team assesses the source, extracts standing water, and uses industrial drying equipment. We also seal vents and install vapor barriers to prevent recurrence, ensuring your crawl space stays dry and safe.

Ice dams form on roofs when snow melts and refreezes at eaves, blocking drainage. Signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, and icicles. If you notice these, call us immediately. We safely remove the dam, extract water from the affected areas, and dry the structure to prevent mold. We also work with your insurance to document the damage for claims.

Foundation seepage is common in Chicago neighborhoods close to the lake due to high water tables and clay soils. Look for damp walls, efflorescence (white deposits), or musty odors. Our solution involves interior water extraction, controlled demolition of damaged drywall, and high-velocity drying systems. We also recommend exterior grading or drain tile installation to divert future water away from the foundation.
