Brouwer Brothers' History

In 1969, John and Mick Brouwer formed a company called Brouwer Brothers Steamatic. By forming this company, they brought, for the first time to the Chicagoland area, a patented steam carpet cleaning process that cleaned carpeting and furniture with hot water extraction.

Brouwer Brothers Steamatic - HeadquartersThe company had a vision that included the continuing education of all personnel and the reinvesting of company profits into equipment, processes and on-going training. So what began as an operation out of John’s garage, is now a company that employs over 60 people and occupies a 30,000 square foot restoration center in Alsip, IL.

Over the years, Brouwer Brothers Steamatic has taken on additional services, such as drapery cleaning, air duct cleaning, fire and flood restoration and mold remediation plus many other related services.

The air duct cleaning portion of the business now includes several specially trained individuals, who use patented air duct cleaning equipment, dedicated to providing this service for healthy indoor air quality.

Brouwer Brothers Steamatic can truly provide a total cleaning package for all clients.
