Water Removal Services After Burst Pipes in Chicago

Among the first steps that our professionals can take when responding to water damage events occurring in Chicago homes and businesses is removing standing water from the floors. Any pooling of water can ultimately allow for oversaturation and migration of moisture into less accessible areas of the property. The more complicated that moisture and dampness become to address and dry, the more prolonged restoration takes and ultimately costs. We can utilize submersible pumps for significant volumes of standing water and wet vacuums for smaller amounts.

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. We start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water which is harder to access. Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.

Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. We can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. We also disinfect with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.
