Attention Chicago homeowners with water damaged residences--Call us for help--SERVPRO

Team SERVPRO Arrives on the Scene with Advanced Tools to Properly Dry Out Your Home

Sometimes it can be tempting to fix an appliance or install a new faucet yourself to save some money; however, should a part of the process go wrong, you could accidentally cause water damage in your home. There are endless tutorials online that can walk you through doing installations by yourself, but they do not always prepare you for when something goes wrong. More than likely, the water damage restoration can cost you even more money than you would have had to spend hiring a professional to install the new faucet for you.

If you do not notice the leak underneath your sink for a few days while it slowly causes water damage to your Chicago home, the outcome can become even worse. All the moisture that your kitchen cupboard absorbs from the leak creates the perfect condition for mold growth. You must fix the leak once you find it so that no further water damage can occur. As a general rule, if you find water damage in your home, calling a restoration company as soon as possible can help ensure a successful job; after all, the quicker the damage is dealt with, the better it is for your home.

When you rely on SERVPRO, we strive to get a team of our IICRC-certified technicians to your home as quickly as possible. Our technicians can bring advanced technology to your home and immediately start the job. Our SERVPRO techs can open up the cupboard underneath your sink and use tools like desiccant dehumidifiers, air movers, and ventilation fans to create an ideal drying system that best fits the space.
