We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster.

Our Professionals and In-House Contractors Work Together to Provide a Fluid Collaboration of Repair and Full-Scale Restoration After Water Losses. 

When water losses occur in your Buffalo Grove home, you can get overwhelmed at the sight of your property in such disarray. Restoring the house involves overcoming multiple layers of effects spanning from the earliest stages of mitigation through controlled demolition and reconstruction in some cases. Choosing a restoration team like our SERVPRO crew can offer both quality recovery work to begin fast after the emergency, but also allows our in-house contractors to stay involved with the project as well.

From powerful drying approaches to cutting-edge water removal for Buffalo Grove homes, our professionals have the equipment and the expertise to help. With water losses, every minute counts. The first 48 hours are a critical period to resolve much of the concerns with standing water and spreading moisture concerns before the situation can reach the point where it destroys construction materials and contents.

How Do I Learn Where the Water is Originating?

Finding the source of the water leak in your house is a critical first step in mitigation and recovery. You cannot accurately remove standing water and prevent recurrences without first identifying the source of the damage. From freezing pipes bursting in between the floors of your house to improperly installed fixtures, there are countless reasons that you could battle pooling water on the floors. Here are some things that you should consider after you call our technicians:

• Visual Inspection 

A quick inspection of the affected area and its surrounding rooms can often be indicative of where the water damage originates. From flowing water coming in from one singular point to an apparent breach, you can see in an exposed plumbing portion, identifying the damage can save our SERVPRO technicians time when we first arrive.

• Shut Off the Water Supply 

Whether you can identify the source of the water damage or not, you need to get the water shut-off so that the flooding inside does not become unmanageable. If there is not an isolation shut-off for a damaged appliance or portion of the plumbing where the problem exists, you can thwart the entire water supply to your home in the basement where your service line enters the residence.

• Wait for Professional Assistance 

You should not go about trying to restore the damages on your own or remain in the area with pooling water. Once notified, our professionals begin to mobilize right away so that we can get to your house quickly to help.

Does SERVPRO Do Plumbing Repairs? 

With a full division of building trades professionals in our facility, we do not have to request that our customers find their own contractors after a loss incident. This seamless transition between mitigation and reconstruction can save money and time. When water losses result from breaks in the plumbing or frozen pipes, repairs are vital to get water service restored to the house for its vital functions.

• Qualified In-House Contractors
• Knowledgeable Repairs
• Limited Demolition When Possible

By performing these repairs and later reconstruction, we can limit the out of pocket expenses for our customers. You are not waiting weeks or longer for contractors to become available to help put your property back together.

How Do I Remove Flooding from a Busted Pipe? 

When severe water losses occur after a separated or burst pipe, you can be dealing with hundreds or even thousands of gallons of standing water throughout the damaged area. There is a specific order to the restoration and recovery in these circumstances, and it involves general areas of focus, including:

• Extraction 

Removing standing water from the floors of your damaged home is one of the first steps in restoring the property after substantial water losses. Often for these situations, the job falls to a combination of electric submersible pumps followed by a wet vacuum to finish the job.

• Drying

Once surface water has gotten sufficiently addressed, our professionals can work on beginning to set up our cutting-edge drying equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers. The combination of these two vital units can work together to evaporate moisture trapped in the area.

• Cleaning

Residues and soils are not uncommon after pooling water, so cleaning is also a vital step in making water losses “Like it never even happened.” Careful time gets spent in renewing the look and feel of affected structural elements and contents in this phase.

No matter how water losses occur in your home, our SERVPRO of Buffalo Grove / Lake Zurich team can help with a fast and confident response. We have hundreds of drying tools ready to mobilize whenever you call. You can reach our emergency team 24/7 at (847) 279-1940.
