Trust SERVPRO for Water Removal in Your Chicago Home

When water finds its way into properties, it can cause structural damage, deterioration of porous materials, and mold infestation. Therefore, knowing how to spot problem areas to prevent water damage in your house is essential.

Even when using professional equipment, attempting to remove the water yourself does not mean you can remove all the water and moisture successfully. Call the experts at SERVPRO to perform water removal in your Chicago residence. Our technicians are experienced in seeking out hidden water damage. 

We can use infrared technology to detect water captured in seemingly unlikely places. To determine what it can take to dry your home, our SERVPRO crew can use a mathematical formula based on different variables such as: 

• The impacted cubic footage
• If the affected materials are saturated or damp
• The impacted square footage
• The number of air exchanges required
• The number of air movers needed

SERVPRO has an extensive water removal and drying equipment inventory, including portable extractors, air movers, thermo-hygrometers, and air scrubbers. During the water removal process, reliable and exact data is vital. Our technicians can use moisture meters with proprietary software to carefully measure moisture content.

We can remove the water using portable extractors. These devices have three main components: a pump, a heater, and a vacuum system, which remain in use while cleaning upholstery and carpets. The heater can heat cleaning and rinse solutions so they can clean more effectively. When the temperature of a solution increases, soils become more soluble, and cleaning solutions penetrate easier. 

Our SERVPRO team can dry your property using air movers and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers. The advanced dehumidification equipment produces effective drying results and eliminates environmental concerns. LGR dehumidifiers are better suited than conventional refrigerant dehumidifiers for drying spaces to a lower humidity ratio. Our team can also monitor and document the drying process daily to ensure we attain optimal drying standards.

After water ruins your property, fast and effective water removal and drying are vital. Contact the professional water extraction team from SERVPRO of Evergreen Park / South Chicago City for help. Our 24-hour emergency hotline is (773) 337-3900.
