Experienced Restoration Professionals Can Handle Water Damage Under or Inside a Property

In Downtown Chicago, commercial damage caused by flooding can be devastating to a building. Water can seep into flooring, carpeting, furniture, and walls. This can create mold as well, plus rotting or other damage which could go undetected until it is too late. That is why it is important to call us at SERVPRO so that we can come and inspect your property as soon as possible.

How Restoration of Commercial Water Damage Works

Our technicians are IICRC trained, and will first use specialized equipment to discover how severe the water damage in your structure is. After we have evaluated the damage, we’ll get rid of any standing water. This process can vary depending upon whether the water is inside the property or under the property.

Under the Property – We’ll vacuum up water with an extractor so that there is nothing soaking wet anymore. If a broken pipe were the cause, we'd make sure the pipe is accessible to a plumber. After the pipe is fixed, we will get rid of any soil that is contaminated, spray anti-microbial and then replace the old, bad soil with fresh, new soil.

Inside Property – We will be there as soon as possible after you contact us when the water is inside your property. First, we’ll vacuum up the water with an extractor and then take out any furniture that has been affected or put it up on blocks. If the water is dirty, padding and carpeting will be thrown away. If possible, we’ll dry the carpet if the water is clean. Carpet padding is thrown away since it is cheaper to replace than to dry them properly. If there is Downtown Chicago water damage to a wall, small holes will be made where the base board was to let air movement dry the wall.

Allow us to remove the water and get your property dry again so you will experience the least amount of downtime to your business as is possible.
