We continually train so that we can effectively remediate the water damage at your business.

Our Professionals Keep Your Chicago Shop Up and Running While Addressing Water Recovery's Pressing Needs 

Running a shop in Chicago can have its fair share of stresses and severe circumstances from one year to the next. You cannot predict or plan for emergencies like water losses that can happen suddenly and spread quickly throughout your building. It is always wise to anticipate the appropriate professionals you need to restore these losses and get you back to running at your full capacity in these circumstances. 

Many look to our SERVPRO team to help address water damage in Chicago's commercial properties, especially the small shops and boutiques that had such a personal and unique flair to our city. Because these circumstances can become devastating, it is advisable to secure professional restoration services as soon as possible. Our professionals work to live up to our motto that We're Faster To Any Size Disaster so that no customer waits longer than they should for our experienced restorative actions. This same fast reaction is vital in protecting your business and its contents/wares from irreparably becoming damaged. 

How Fast Do Professionals Arrive?  

There is no mistaking the benefit of a fast response when a professional restoration is necessary. Our technicians work to provide an unrivaled response during an emergency, so vital efforts like mitigation and emergency services can begin within your initial call hours. Several strategies are always in place to help our experience technicians mobilize once we get notified of an active water damage disaster. Some of the strategies to quickly dispatch our experienced professionals include: 

• READY Trailers – Ready trailers are a strategy that has proven effective for the many years that we have been serving the city. Because water losses are a typical call out for our professionals, we keep production vehicles stocked with the appropriate tools and equipment necessary for drying, extraction, and other restorative actions. 

• 24/7 Availability – Disasters do not wait for a convenient time to strike, so we remain prepared for whatever might occur. With most of our professionals accredited with water restoration certifications, we have experienced professionals who can quickly reach your shop when you need it. 

• Trained Roster of Water Restorers – This training and education serve to provide confident and reliable responses to commercial customers.  

What Can Be Done to Prevent Closures? 

We understand that if possible, you want your Chicago business to remain open despite the water damage restoration that must occur. In some situations, this is not impossible. With the right response happening quickly, we can often establish the appropriate containment and other protocols that prevent customers from encountering restoration as that occurs and eliminates cross-contamination with other areas of your shop unaffected by the water damage. Much like emergency services that seek to reduce the severity of the loss that your shop experiences, our actions keep your business open despite its water loss. Some of these include: 

• Containment – Containment can often Mean several different approaches, depending on the situation. In most of these situations where water loss is spreading through your building's main shop area, we can build a framework with plastic sheeting that establishes set drying zones to make restoration more efficient and prevent foot traffic through the work area. 

• Content Management – The protection of your wares is also essential whenever our professionals first arrived at the water-damaged building. The stock in your store is your profit and investment, so content management seeks to reduce irreparable damage to these items with on-site cleaning and recovery solutions. 

• Working with Customer – We do not know your business as you do. We often refer to the priorities you create to restore and recover your shop after a water loss period. We focus on the areas you deem to matter most to exceed your expectations with the restoration services we provide. 

How Can Water Loss Get Dried Up in Containment Zones?  

While the circumstances might change from one site to the next, drying is necessary for every water loss. Through the use of multiple tools working together, we can work to regulate the three primary elements of drying science: 

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Airflow 

We have restoration technicians and commercial contractors that can help from content management to complete repairs and build back. Give our SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City team a call anytime that you need us at (773) 337-3993.
