## RESTORATION SERVICES
Since 1999, we have assisted families and businesses in rebuilding after unexpected disasters. From navigating insurance hurdles to conducting damage inspections and managing fire and water reconstruction, ETI and its strategic partners guide you through each phase of the restoration process until your property is move-in ready. Our goal is to restore not only your building but your peace of mind.
### Rebuilding with Chicago's Most Trusted Restoration Expert
As a trusted fire and water restoration expert in Chicago, we work with the industry’s top professionals to thoroughly assess your multifamily or commercial property to identify both visible and hidden issues that could compromise the integrity of the building. If structural damage is uncovered, our team collaborates with local architects to develop repair designs that meet code compliance, and any mold concerns are addressed through proven remediation strategies to minimize health risks.
To further support you, we work with the city to obtain the necessary permits, assist in securing claim payments from your insurance provider and schedule our team of trade partners, designers, plumbers and electricians to begin work promptly, so you can restore your property efficiently and help residents return to their home or business as soon as possible.
For a more comprehensive and efficient restoration process, we proudly partner with [Rainbow Restoration](https://rainbowrestores.com/), a specialized restoration contractor.
