O & L General Contractor: Damage Restoration in Chicago, IL

Look for unexplained increases in your water bill, musty odors, warped flooring, or peeling paint. You might also notice a sudden drop in water pressure or the sound of running water when fixtures are off. In older Chicago buildings near neighborhoods like Logan Square, these signs often point to leaks behind walls or under foundations. Catching them early can prevent major structural damage.

First, we stop the water source and extract standing water using industrial pumps. Then, we dry the area with high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent mold. After drying, we assess and repair any damaged drywall, flooring, or concrete. In areas like Bridgeport, where sump pump failures are common during spring storms, we also recommend backup systems to avoid future flooding.

Yes, we specialize in restoring concrete and masonry affected by water damage. This includes repairing cracked foundations, spalling brick walls, and deteriorating mortar joints. For example, after a water heater leak in a basement near Hyde Park, we can replace damaged concrete slabs and reseal walls to prevent moisture from seeping back in. Our work ensures your structure stays safe and durable.
