Call SERVPRO to remove the water bubble on the ceiling, any water, repair the leak, and restore your Chicago shop. "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Has Advanced Water Restoration Methods for Chicago

After you recover from the initial shock and disappointment of realizing there is water in unwanted areas of your Chicago retail shop, you might also discover that you are not certain how to perform the necessary water cleanup processes. Since speed is crucial when responding to property losses involving moisture, you may not have time to learn and act. Hiring a professional restorer to assist is advisable.

Whether the intrusion is confined to one area or widely spread, you may need to do significant water cleanup at your Chicago business to protect inventory and keep the doors open. Once the leak starts, water spreads and changes form through evaporation and wicking through materials. It also triggers different forms of soiling, including staining from dyes and accumulation of residues from deteriorating materials such as flaking paint. SERVPRO can help you determine which steps to take and what to prioritize.

Necessary cleanup steps

• Removing the water
• Cleaning surfaces
• Disinfecting surfaces

If there is stagnant water or significant moisture accumulation in your house, any steps to clean it are not likely to bear fruit. For example, if customers keep walking on wet floor areas, they quickly re-soil any washed sections, especially if carpeted or tiled. Our SERVPRO crews expedite water extraction and ensure it is thorough enough to leave surfaces moisture-free. We have water extractors with sufficient vacuum lift to facilitate such extraction.

Various ways to clean wet surfaces

Cleaning is a variable process, so results can differ even for the same type of soiling. The affected materials also influence the outcomes. Instead of finding one perfect solution for the soiling problems from the water intrusion at your home, it is best to work with several approaches. With help from our SERVPRO crews, there is no shortage of solutions.
