Our 7-Step Water & Flood Damage Restoration Process For Wheeling, IL Residents
- Initial Water Damage Assessment
We start by inspecting the water damage within your Wheeling property, evaluating both the interior and its contents to determine the necessary steps forward. Our assessment includes checking the structural integrity of walls, floors, and ceilings, and identifying which items are salvageable.
- Development of a Cleanup Strategy
Following our thorough assessment, we craft a detailed plan of action tailored to your situation. This strategy outlines the specific steps we'll undertake to ensure the project remains on track and within the projected timeline.
We welcome any queries or concerns regarding our approach and are always ready to provide clarity.
- Water Extraction and Damage Mitigation
Employing state-of-the-art, truck-mounted systems, we swiftly eliminate any standing water. This is followed by the use of high-power vacuums to address lingering moisture.
Additionally, we assess and mitigate any secondary damage, including structural issues and potential mold growth.
- Removal of Unsalvageable Materials and Cleanup
As part of the mitigation efforts, we remove materials beyond repair. This includes lifting damp carpeting, extracting spoiled drywall, and dismantling affected ceiling parts.
Throughout this process, we ensure the prompt cleanup, removal, and disposal of debris in compliance with the City of Chicago’s demolition protocols.
- Advanced Structural Drying Techniques
To prevent moisture from compromising wooden structures such as wall framing, subfloors, and beams, we deploy advanced drying methods.
Our equipment, including desiccant dehumidifiers, axial fans, centrifugal air movers, and floor drying systems, operates continuously to halt moisture spread.
- Comprehensive Remediation Across the Property
Our remediation process involves an extensive deep clean of interior surfaces. We scrub, sanitize, and deodorize every affected area, address any structural repairs, and employ certified techniques for mold eradication.
- Complete Restoration of Water Damage
In the final phase, we rebuild areas where materials were removed, such as drywall, flooring, and ceilings. Necessary replacements, including door frames, window casings, baseboards, and trims, are made. All items impacted by water damage are restored to their original condition.
We invite you to review our restoration efforts thoroughly. Our commitment to your satisfaction means we’re not done until every aspect of our work meets your approval.
