DIY Projects Can Be Fun But Cleaning Up After the Bathtub Floods May Need Experts Who Can Find Hidden Water Intrusion in Your Chicago Home.

Whether your bathtub overflowed or something went wrong with the plumbing causing flooding; it’s not the time for a DIY project. Instead, call in the Chicago professionals to make sure there is no hidden damage.

Can an overflowing bathtub do that much damage?

Everything was going fine until you forgot you started running a bath, and the next thing you know, water is pouring out of the tub. There is a least an inch of water on the floor. You think – mopping up should take care of everything. But you may not be able to see the problems that can arise from the situation. Calling in water damage restoration experts in Chicago can help you avoid long term damage and costly repairs.

What Damage Should I Worry About?

Water seeps into the nooks and crannies of the room where there is flooding. You can mop up all the water you can see, but it takes special equipment, like moisture detectors, to see hidden water. If left untreated, it can cause:

• Mold and mildew
• Damage to subflooring
• Ceiling and wall damage if the bathroom is on an upper level
• Warping of wooden cupboards or fixtures in the bathroom
