Initial actions by experienced restorers protect Chicago homes from further water damage
Often, before much of the water damage mitigation process can begin after a disaster, our SERVPRO professionals must determine the pressing needs of the house through a thorough assessment. Efficient and complete restoration and recovery occur when we can prioritize the actions necessary after gathering relevant information about:
- Assessing hazards
- Cataloging damage
- Determining water damage source
Removing Standing Water
Among the first and most important steps of water damage mitigation in Chicago homes are removing any standing water from the house. A wide range of extraction devices and water removal tools can be beneficial in this effort. We utilize a combination of pumps and vacuums to resolve the greatest volume of threatening pooling water.
Relocating Contents in Harm’s Way
Often, homes and businesses can be widely disrupted by water damage, leaving personal belongings, furniture, and keepsakes in harm’s way. Our professionals prioritize the protection of your treasured possessions through relocation services that move these items to a safer location on-site or our nearby SERVPRO facility for safekeeping.
Reconstruction and Repairs
One of the advantages of choosing SERVPRO for water damage restoration and mitigation is the necessary controlled demolition and repairs needed after a loss. As much of the water damage scenarios that impact Chicago homes and apartments result from broken pipes, leaking fixtures, or failing connections, our licensed general contractors help meet these demands fast.
Mitigating water damage involves several simultaneous efforts in a damaged home. As rapidly as water damage can spread, our emergency services are instrumental in slowing and stopping this migration. Give our SERVPRO of Evergreen Park / South Chicago City team a call today at (773) 337-3900.
