basement flooding on st. charles road

a friend called me who lives on st. Charles road. their basement flooded again.

we promptly came out, used our state of the art tools to extract the water and set up fans, dehumidifiers and other equipment.

this was a tough one as the water wanted to play hide and seek. we'd use our meters to find wet spots, dry them out and move on to the next one.

over several days we finally got it completely dry and odor free.

when your basement floods, call beyond. we'll go beyond your expectations.

basement flooding in Hisdale

we unflooded a lot of homes after this last huge rain. we saved all but one.

a home owner hired us to pump out their basement. we did then explained how the process was not complete. the carpets, even after being pumped out were still damp and there was water in the walls. "We know better than you. This is our home."

But ma'am, your home is at risk. you've only gotten rid of some of the surface water.

no, we don't need you. we'll borrow fans and finish the job. we are very dissatisfied with your work. for some unknown reason they were under the false assumption that pumping out water under four inches of water would give them completely dry carpet and walls? unbelievable!

we tore up their check which was sizable, gave it back to them and tried to once again to explain how sucking water out of wet carpets does not give you a 100% dry basement. no one in their right mind would think this but they did.

The home owner's eyes got really large and he got quiet when I handed back his torn up check.

he got quiet when he realized I was not a bait and switch company like he thought i was.

would I bait and switch guy work for hours and then give you back all your money? No.

my chief concern was for this family's health and safety. mold can begin to grow after 72 hours and it was way, way past that point when we got out there. But some people know better.

the flood of the year

It's almost dry here in the western suburbs. God opened the heavens and sent heavy rains and enough lightening and thunder to get me to repent of things I hadn't even done yet. 7 inches in seven seconds or something like that. my own faithful little sump pump was overwhelmed. everyone's was. battery back ups gave up the ghosts, basements and roofs leaked and most everything got soaked good.

driving down Mannheim road I was up to my door posts in water. so much water I knew if I drove fast it'd get in the engine and then I'd be 18 hours waiting for the tow truck--so I took it slow.

the young hot shot ahead of me must have thought he was superman because he raced through the deep, deep water shooting rooster plumes of water at the hiway workers directing traffic.

It was soo sad to pass him waterlogged car on the side of the road half a mile further up.

but I had to unflood a basement in Westchester. Drip Drop Plumbing had recommend these fine people to me. they were leaving on a much earned vaca the next day when the rains came and flooded their home. we soothed their feathers, pumped them out and began the dehumidification process.

upholstery cleaning/ It's cheaper to keep er

Once in a while while cleaning upholstery we come across a piece so incredibly dirty we wish we had a camera. we had two of those in two weeks. the second one we got pictures of.

a client's son had just gotten his first real job after graduation. it was far away and he had no furniture so his dad went to an estate sale. a man died of lung cancer. he was a big time smoker.

the couch and loveseat were yellowish black from all the tar and soot and smoke of 40 years of smoking. I thought maybe he should burn them but he'd probably end up in the hospital from tar smoke ingestion so we gave it a go.

I whipped up some special sauce, worked it into the fibers after vacuuming, then reapplied it several more times, allowing dwell time.

when you have a moment follow the links to our site and have a look at the pictures. I was amazed. I hadn't realized I looked that fat from behind. oh, and the furniture came out looking like new.

basement flooding in oak brook

After the latest set of storms rolled though DuPage County I got a call from a property mgr.

"Do you have anyone who can stop by a flooded basement in Oak Brook?"

"Of course we do." was our reply.

we met Tony on site at a new four million dollar home in Oak Brook. there was a lot of water in the flooded basement. to make things worse things looked like a war zone with ComEd trucks all over the place, downed power lines and no power in the home.

strapping on my hip waders with a flashlight in my mouth and water removal tools in both mitts we descended into the bowels of the beast.

a fish swam by.

a frog croaked. water had been down here for a while.

to make a long story short, we got the basement and walls and all fixture dry and restored.

the fish wasn't happy but everyone else was. when your basement floods, call Beyond. we unflood basements and relocate fish and frogs!

urine removal in Burr Ridge

Carpet cleaning in Burr Ridge, IL can be quite challenging. the other day I was given the opportunity to do just that. Brian Bomba, realtor extraordinaire had given me another job to do.

Oh, before I go a step further I need to tell you if you need a first class realtor, Brian is your boy.

He goes further and treats his client with such professional skill, acumen and attention to detail no wonder he's one of the top realtors in dupage county. he does it the hard way--with old fashioned work!

Now, back to Carpet Cleaning in Burr Ridge. Brian had sent me on a job where the dog had had accidents in the home. the clients wanted to sell the home but had to address the urine concern.

Urine, pet stains, pet accidents. red wine spills. we handle it all. If you have acrylic paint we can get you a decent carpet repair guy to swap things out but most anything else we're pretty good at.

We brought in our tools and could see the invisible urine and know exactly where to treat.

Bottom line? the home was remarkable improved, the odor greatly diminished and ready for Brian Bomba and his team to do their magic. case closed.

red wine stains

Today in Hinsdale we faced the red wine monster once again.

for some reason most of my clients prefer red wine over a blush or white.

this was a small glass that had the wandering desire. when my client spilled it he launched it almost four feet across his pristine white carpet. a carpet I've been cleaning for years and had just freshened up last week.

so, with hammer and tong and carts loaded to the gills I faced the red wine monster once again.

some days dear reader, the knights win, some days the dragons win.

today, in Hinsdale carpet cleaning, I won. a smoking hot iron and lots of special sauce later the carpet in this Hinsdale home were once again pristine.

It's amazing what new innovations they come up with. 20 years ago we would have told the client looking for carpet cleaning in Hinsdale to simply have a carpet repair man swap out the affected portion. now, with the wondrous products and ongoing education we receive often even the red wine stain removal in Hinsdale is not impossible.
