SERVPRO Helps through Timely Intervention to Save Chicago Businesses from Flood Damage

Adverse weather such as rainstorms coupled with the inadequacies of aging or overwhelmed infrastructure can lead to severe flooding. Flood damage is more than just an inconvenience because it can lead to costly repair bills and shutdown revenue collection.

If flood damage affects your Chicago business premises, taking immediate remedial action is essential, although it is not always easy. For instance, although you may notice filthy floodwaters rising around the items in your store, you might need to wait for floodwaters outside the structure to recede before you can take action. Involving a professional flood restoration company immediately you are aware of the flooding can help you avoid several issues that crop up after flooding, including the need for:

• Rodent cleanup services
• Biohazard remediation
• Disinfecting companies

SERVPRO, for example, helps by spraying EPA-registered disinfectants directly into the floodwaters pooling in your store. We also board up openings to keep out small animals that may try to seek refuge in your facility. Such actions, when done promptly, help keep flood damage minimal.

SERVPRO of Marquette Park / West Lawn / Ford City has sufficient resources to handle flood damage. Call us at (773) 337-3993.
