Our 7-Step Restoration Process for Winnetka Residents
We understand that water damage can be overwhelming, but our expert team is here to guide you through every step of the restoration process. Here is how we do it:
IMMEDIATE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Our technicians arrive quickly, fully equipped to assess the extent of water damage affecting your property, furnishings, and personal belongings. They also evaluate any structural concerns to ensure a safe restoration process.
CONSULTATION AND ACTION PLAN
Next, we create a comprehensive action plan for water damage mitigation and remediation. Our team walks you through each step, providing a clear timeline and setting expectations for the entire process.
WATER DAMAGE MITIGATION
We start by extracting standing water using advanced equipment to minimize further damage. For Category 3 water (sewage and black water), our technicians ensure the safe removal of hazardous materials. We also remove damaged items such as saturated drywall and flooring, preparing the area for the restoration process.
DEBRIS HAUL OFF AND DISPOSAL
Throughout the mitigation process, we consistently clear out debris, including damaged carpets, drywall, and ceiling materials, ensuring proper disposal in accordance with local regulations.
ADVANCED DRYING TECHNIQUES
We use industrial-grade equipment, including air movers, dehumidifiers, and specialized floor drying systems, to thoroughly dry your property and prevent mold growth and structural damage.
WATER DAMAGE REMEDIATION AND SANITIZATION
We thoroughly sanitize and deodorize all affected areas, ensuring that surfaces are safe and clean. Our team prioritizes restoring essential structural elements and addresses any black water contamination using industry-approved methods.
COMPLETE PROPERTY RESTORATION
In the final phase, we rebuild walls, replace flooring, and repair ceilings. Salvageable items, such as furniture, are cleaned and restored. Once you provide your final approval, your home or business is fully restored, and our job is complete.
