Consult Professionals for Water Restoration in Chicago

As a homeowner, water damage is one of the most stressful occurrences you might come across. You must handle the situation correctly, quickly, and with the utmost professionalism to avoid an incomplete restoration that might soon expose the house to more damage. You must contact a competent and reputable restorer as quickly as possible for your home to regain its status.

Such occurrences should not cause panic since SERVPRO can handle whatever situation you find yourself in. A combination of experienced, trained, and licensed technicians and a good reputation is enough to convince you to contact us to perform water restoration in your Chicago residence. We are a DCLO (Downtown Chicago Licensed Operator) that can conduct commercial and municipal restoration projects. 

Extraction is the first method our SERVPRO technicians use to remove water from a structure. For water extraction from flooring, we use equipment like:

• Portable extractors
• Deep extraction tools
• Light wands 
• Pumps

Our SERVPRO team chooses the most suitable extraction tool based on the materials we are restoring. For instance, carrying out an aggressive extraction might lead to the delamination of carpeting. When wet, carpets are usually 50% weaker. Therefore, we can use a light wand to prevent damage. Generally, an extraction wand works well when removing water from a glued-down carpet, while the heavier devices work perfectly on floors with large tufts and a thick pad. We have found extraction to be a better way of doing away with the water than dehumidification by a factor ranging in the hundreds.

When there is a significant amount of standing water, SERVPRO uses a variety of pumps, depending on the situation. When the water exceeds two inches in depth, we opt for submersible pumps since they provide adequate volume capacity and lift capability. We pump the water into a treated sewer for safe disposal.
