ProTech Restoration

Ceiling starting to sag? Water stains creeping across your walls? If you’re dealing with water damage in your home or business in Des Plaines, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options either.

At Pro Tech Restoration, we specialize in repairing water-damaged ceilings and walls. We’ve helped countless homeowners in Des Plaines recover from roof leaks, frozen pipes, flooded basements, and everything in between. We understand that when water gets into the structure of your home, time isn’t on your side — which is why we act fast and get the job done right.

What Causes Water Damage in Ceilings and Walls?

Water doesn’t need much of an invitation — once it gets in, it can travel fast. We’ve helped homeowners across Des Plaines clean up damage caused by:

1. Roof leaks from storms or ice dams
2. Burst pipes, especially during winter cold snaps
3. Overflowing bathtubs or toilets that leak between floors
4. HVAC condensation or appliance malfunctions
5. Flooding from heavy rains or sump pump failure

Water doesn’t stay in one place — it spreads fast, travels behind walls, and soaks into insulation, drywall, and framing. What starts as a small drip can quickly become a major problem if it’s not addressed early.

Signs You May Need Ceiling or Drywall Repair

Sometimes the damage is obvious — a water-soaked ceiling tile or drywall that’s soft to the touch. Other times, it’s more subtle. Here’s what we tell homeowners to watch for:

1. Stains or brown spots forming on the ceiling
2. Peeling paint or wallpaper
3. Bulging or sagging drywall
4. A musty or moldy smell
5. Cracks that suddenly appear near corners or seams

If you’re noticing any of these signs, don’t wait until the ceiling starts caving in. Give us a call at (847) 558-6604 — we’ll check it out.

Our Repair Process: What to Expect

We take a comprehensive approach to ceiling damage repair and drywall repair — not just drying things out and painting over the damage, but making sure the root of the issue is resolved for good.

1. Inspection & Moisture Detection: We start by identifying where the water came from. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, we can detect moisture behind ceilings and inside walls without tearing everything open right away.
2. Water Source Control: If the leak is active — whether it’s a roof issue, pipe burst, or faulty appliance — we stop it immediately and take steps to prevent further damage.
3. Drying & Dehumidification: Our commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers remove moisture from the structure, insulation, and air. This step is key to avoiding long-term damage and mold growth.
4. Ceiling & wall repair: Once the area is fully dry, we cut out any damaged ceiling tiles or wall. Then we rebuild — replacing insulation, installing new drywall, patching, sanding, and repainting with a perfect texture match.
5. Final Cleanup & Insurance Support: We leave the space spotless, double-check that the repair is complete, and if you’re filing an insurance claim, we’ll provide documentation, estimates, and photos to support it.

How We Handle Drywall Repair

Drywall is one of the most sensitive areas in your home when it comes to water damage. Since it absorbs moisture quickly, it can easily become weak, sag, or develop mold. Even small amounts of water can compromise the structure of your walls, leading to larger, more expensive issues if not addressed quickly. Here’s how our professionals handle it:

1. We Assess the Damage: First, we carefully check the damage to see if we can repair just a small area or if we need to replace larger sections. We make sure to thoroughly inspect everything so we know exactly what needs to be done.
2. We Remove the Damaged Drywall: If necessary, we’ll carefully remove the damaged drywall. We make sure to do this without causing further damage to your home. We’ll clean up any debris and make sure the area is ready for the next steps.
3. Drying the Area: Before replacing drywall, we make sure the area is fully dry. We use professional equipment to remove any moisture, preventing mold and further issues down the line. We don’t rush this step — we want everything to be completely dry before moving on.
4. Replacing the Drywall: Once everything is dry, we’ll install new drywall. We ensure that the new drywall fits perfectly and is securely attached to the structure of your home.
5. Smooth and Finish: Next, we smooth out seams and make sure the drywall is level and even. We want the new drywall to blend seamlessly with your existing walls.
6. Final Touch — Painting: Finally, we paint the repaired area so it matches the rest of your walls. Whether your walls are smooth or textured, we’ll make sure the finish is just right.

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"

"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
