SERVPRO Offers Comprehensive Chicago Business Water Damage Mitigation and Remediation

Although your in-house or contracted housekeeping and cleanup team is the best in the Loop, the demands of significant water removal in Downtown Chicago rises above their capacity to respond effectively. Burst pipes or a leaking roof from storms or drainage issues can cause hundreds of thousands of gallons of water to cascade through your commercial space. An elevated level of response is required to get your business back on an even keel.

  • Generators to prevent power suspension delays 
  • Capacious tanks to contain contaminated water for lawful disposal
  • Specialized equipment to trace moisture migration, contain, and remove trapped water throughout all your Chicago business’s property

Does Commercial Water Removal Require Applied Structural Drying?

Extracting visible and hidden liquid water is the essential first step of water damage repairs and flood restoration. Diligent extraction is 1200 times more effective than drying techniques alone, accelerating water clean up. Partnering through extraction with the following drying techniques is critical to avoid or minimize secondary water damage such as progressive building material disintegration and mold damage:

  • Air movement using axial fans and low profile air movers
  • Increasing air temperature and reducing humidity with heaters as warm, dry air facilitates faster evaporation from saturated structural components and fixtures
  • Dehumidification with evaporative and desiccant units to remove and capture the lingering moisture for proper disposal

Waste no time after a water disaster downtown. Call SERVPRO of West Loop / Bucktown / Greektown at (773) 434-9100 for prompt commercial property water removal services.
