Heavy rains, sewer backups, sump pump failures, frozen pipes, snowstorms.  Owning a house in the Midwest throws a lot of mother nature at us, which can result in a soaking mess afterwards.  To prevent further damage and mold, the water needs to be extracted and structure dehumidified.  At Good Guys, our owner-operated team responds to your damaged properly immediately to assess the extent of the damage.  A plan is made and equipment is dispatched to begin the process of removing the water. 

We are fully prepared with the most up-to-date water extraction units available, including 2 truck mounted engines to quickly extract any standing water on hard surfaces or carpet.  Once all visible water is removed, we will begin the water damage restoration process to return your damaged property to what it was before!

Detecting hidden water is a very important part of the water removal process.  "Hidden water" is water that has seeped behind cabinets, drywall, studs, etc. that can easily turn into mold down the road if not treated correctly, causing further damage and cost to the homeowner.  We use high-tech instruments to determine where any water may be hiding so we can locate and fix the problem.  Thermal Imaging cameras are used in these cases, which allows us to identify wet areas that the naked eye cannot. Even if you suspect a small leak from a sink, faucet, water heater, A/C unit, etc., a routine inspection is needed to make sure it hasn't spread to other parts of the property.  

Examples of properties we service but are not limited to: residential homes, commercial properties, apartments, hotels, restaurants and schools.

When a water damage loss occurs, dehumidification of the property is an urgent process to begin in order to decrease the possibility of mold growth.  Dehumidification not only prevents mold growth but also speeds up the drying of structure inside the property.  We are fully prepared with the best dehumidifiers and different types of fans custom made for each water situation we encounter.  Our certified team will conduct routine monitoring of the equipment and make sure the moisture content in the property drops below the humidity level where mold will begin to take place.  We offer 24/7 response, as every hour counts when a property encounters water damage.  

Examples of properties we service but are not limited to: residential homes, commercial properties, apartments, hotels, restaurants and schools.

At Good Guys, we use eco-friendly cleaners, air scrubbers and HEPA filtration systems to ensure your property is safe and sanitized.  We work diligently to sanitize all surfaces and airborne pathogens to reduce the risk of any illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses and allergenic pathogens.

Many companies will automatically remove at least 24" of drywall in affected areas to run up the bill.  This is a common practice among restoration companies and we strongly oppose it.  We only remove drywall if absolutely necessary according to S500 protocols.
