SERVPRO Provides Efficient Water Damage Repair for Chicago Residents

The basement is one area of any Chicago home that is very vulnerable to flood water infiltration. The basement can get flooded whenever there is a foundation leak, natural flooding, a sewage backup, or soil oversaturation after heavy rains. If you end up with water damage and flooding after your sump pump fails, SERVPRO is there to help with water removal services, damage repair, and drying.

When you call us for water damage repair in Chicago, you can expect to see our team arrive at your door within hours. We must get in fast to begin water mitigation efforts and extraction as soon as possible to limit damage and overall cost for your project. If you have an issue with your sump pump, you must know how it works and what you can do to avoid the problem in the future.

• Sump pumps excess water that comes in from outside and collects inside your interior pump basin. After the basin fills, a sensor triggers the pump to turn on and pump the water back outside a safe distance from the home’s foundation.
• The sump pump must remain functional to protect your home and basement from flooding. During a flooding and heavy rain event, failure to trigger could mean significant water damage.
• Your sump pump’s screen, inlet opening, pump, and basin should be checked and cleaned regularly.

Should you experience flooding or water damage even after caring for your sump pump, calling in the help of our skilled water damage professionals will get everything cleaned up fast. SERVPRO uses advanced extraction tools and drying equipment to pull water and remaining moisture from your basement. We also address possible black mold growth that may have developed due to the water infiltration.
