Cost-efficient Water Restoration Is Key to Protecting Homes in the Chicago Area

When a water incident in your Chicago home damages flooring, personal belongings, and the structure of your home, it is hard to prioritize your next steps. Many homeowners consider water restoration a do-it-yourself project, but good intentions can be counterproductive. Failure to let a certified water restoration technician assess the situation and recommend a course of action can cause long-term and secondary damage to the house.

To speed up water cleanup in Chicago by applying industry best practices, call SERVPRO and let our certified technicians take over. Thanks to our field experience and training with leaders in the industry, we can bring to your home the latest techniques and equipment for water removal and drying. 

Water remediation is a multi-pronged approach, and each item may require a specific set of actions to return to normal. 

Some of the building blocks of a successful job include-

• Controlled demolition of drywall and other surfaces saturated with water and vulnerable to secondary damage.
• Removal of debris and discarding of unsalvageable items. The longer they stay in the residence, the more they can become a threat to the environment and a breeding ground for mold.
• Water extraction with pumps, wands, and specialty drying solutions. Sometimes this may include carefully taking inventory of certain items before moving them to an off-site location for cleaning and drying.
