Glen Ellyn homes built before 1950 along Main Street and near Lake Ellyn often have cast-iron pipes and stone foundations that crack when winter temperatures drop below freezing. Our crew at 2924 W Armitage Ave #1 drives out the Eisenhower or I-88 corridor to reach these properties the same day a call comes in. We extract water, dry the structure and open walls only where moisture readings show damage.
Heavy summer storms dump rain faster than the DuPage County storm sewers can handle, sending water into basements along Crescent Boulevard and near the Metra tracks. We set up containment and air movers before mold sets in, then return to check moisture in joists and subfloors. Service runs Monday through Friday 8am–6pm and Saturday 9am–2pm.
Owners in the 60137 ZIP code call us after roof leaks around the College of DuPage area or appliance failures in split-level homes off Park Boulevard. We document every step for insurance and leave the site clean enough for a final walkthrough the same week.

Water Damage Repair in 38. Glen Ellyn — Local Notes
- •Clay-heavy soil around Glen Ellyn holds water against foundations, so we always check the exterior grading before finishing interior drying.
- •Many 1920s–1940s homes near the Illinois Prairie Path have narrow lots and shared driveways, limiting where we can park equipment trucks.
- •Winter pipe bursts are common in unheated crawl spaces under older Victorians on Forest Avenue; we thaw lines and replace sections without tearing up finished floors.
- •Summer humidity stays high after storms, so we run dehumidifiers longer in basements near the downtown business district to prevent secondary damage.
