Our Restoration Services

More About Our Services

From a burst pipe flooding a basement at 2 a.m. to smoke-damaged drywall that needs full replacement months later, Dry Bros Water & Fire Restoration handles the complete arc of property damage, initial emergency response, structural drying, cleanup, and rebuild. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Chicago and the surrounding area, so whether the loss is a single-family bungalow or a multi-unit building, the same crew and process apply.

Emergency restoration services

When damage is active, the priority is stopping it from getting worse. Water intrusion, whether from a failed sump pump, a broken supply line, or a roof breach, spreads fast; moisture migrates into wall cavities and subfloor assemblies faster than it shows on the surface. Fire and smoke leave behind acidic residue that continues etching surfaces and embedding odor into porous materials long after the flames are out. Biohazard situations, sewage backups, trauma scenes, contaminated spaces, require containment and disposal protocols that go well beyond standard cleaning. Storm damage, from wind-driven rain to hail that compromises the building envelope, often combines several of these problems at once. Dry Bros responds to water damage, fire and smoke damage, biohazard cleanup, and storm damage, with each service built around documented, systematic mitigation that protects both the structure and the insurance claim.

Reconstruction and renovation

Mitigation stops the damage; reconstruction puts the property back together. Once affected materials are removed and the structure is confirmed dry and clean, Dry Bros handles the rebuild, framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinetry, painting, and finish work. Because the same company that performed the mitigation manages the reconstruction, there are no handoff gaps where damage gets missed or scopes get disputed. We coordinate directly with adjusters on the repair estimate so the rebuild scope matches what was actually documented during remediation.

Specialty services

Some losses require targeted work that doesn’t fit neatly into emergency response or full reconstruction. Mold inspection and remediation addresses hidden fungal growth, the kind that develops behind walls when a slow leak goes unnoticed for weeks. Odor removal, using thermal fogging or hydroxyl generation, handles persistent smoke and biological smells that surface cleaning can’t reach. Board-up and tarping services secure a property immediately after fire, storm, or vandalism so the structure stays protected while the larger scope of work is planned.

The most frustrating part of property damage is often the coordination, managing a mitigation company, a separate contractor, and an insurance adjuster who all have different timelines and paperwork. Dry Bros is structured to handle mitigation through final reconstruction as a single, documented process. One call to (877) 379-2767 starts the whole thing, and the same team sees it through to a finished, livable space.
