Our 7-Step Water Damage Restoration Process for Avondale, Chicago Residents
1. Immediate Damage Inspection
We begin with an inspection to determine the extent of damages to your home or business.
Our teams secure the property as needed and address any structural issues and safety hazards.
2. Assessment and Action Plan
Next, we draw up a comprehensive action plan and estimated timetable for each restoration phase. We want you to know what to expect, and we welcome any questions you might have.
3. Water Removal and Mitigation
Standing water is quickly removed using advanced truck-mounted extraction systems. Mitigation includes clearing out debris, containing secondary water damages and starting the drying process.
4. Unsalvageable Material Tear-Out
Often, soaked drywall, ceilings and carpets can’t be salvaged. Our teams tear out and haul off ruined materials and content. This clears the way for water damage remediation and restoration.
5. Property-Wide Structural Drying
This part of the mitigation process significantly reduces property-wide drying time. We set up industrial-grade dehumidifiers, centrifugal air movers and aerodynamic axial fans.
6. Water Damage Cleanup and Remediation
Our technicians clean, sanitize and deodorize interiors, using the latest equipment and safest products. We also clean salvageable personal belongings at your home and business contents at your workplace.
7. Complete Interior Restoration
Floors, subflooring, ceilings and walls are repaired and restored. Our attention to detail includes cabinets, window and door frames, baseboards, trim and wainscoting.
We finish with property-wide cleanup that completely restores your home or business to its pre-loss condition. We don’t consider our job done until we have your final approval.
Fortunately, water damage doesn’t impact a home or business very often. When it does happen, it’s very stressful. These suggestions make it a little easier to deal with the situation.
Water Damage Do’s
Do stay safe. Shut down circuit breakers that supply electricity to the affected areas. If you can’t access the breaker box safely, call a licensed electrician.
Do contact your insurance company. Give them as much information as you can, and arrange for an adjuster’s inspection. Document water-damaged interiors and contents with photos and videos.
Do call a professional water damage restoration company. Secondary damages, such as structural instability and mold growth, develop very quickly. Our technicians can be there in 90 minutes or less.
Do open windows, and let fresh air circulate throughout wet interiors. Open closets, cabinets and drawers. Turn on any fans you might have, but only in areas where the electricity supply is safe.
Water Damage Don’ts
Don’t try to remove standing water with a regular vacuum cleaner. If you have a wet vac, don’t use it unless you’re sure there are no electrical hazards in the water-damaged areas.
Don’t ignore the danger of sagging ceilings or water dripping through overhead fixtures. Stay clear of these areas until our technicians stabilize the scene.
Don’t attempt to use appliances or electronic equipment while standing on wet floors or carpets. Wait until our restoration teams inspect the property and give the all-clear.
Don’t throw away anything before the insurance adjuster’s inspection. Leave everything as is so that he or she can assess the full extent of your property’s water damage and your losses.

I called ServiceMaster restoration by Zaba when my parents basement flooded on a weekend and they were very professional and respectful over the phone and in person when they got to my parents home. They took care of everything and it looks and feels brand new I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Jerry one of service pros was very knowledgeable and was very kind. This company is great. They don’t price gouge! Prices are more than fair. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

I had some water damage occur in my kitchen; Floors were ruined, drywall was ruined, and cabinets were ruined. I put in a claim with my insurance, and they sent out Carlos and Jerry.I had the best experience with these Carlos and Jerry. They came in and looked lover all the affected area that had water damage. I thought I would be getting an estimate, but they were able to rip up the wet floors and remove the wet walls within the same day.We did run into an issue where Serviced Master found what was presumed to be asbestos tile in the affected areas. I felt like it was the end of the world, because we know all know it's crazy expensive to get that taken care of; But Service Masters work with a 3rd party company - Bluestone Environmental, Inc, who were able to come out and confirm, that it was asbestos. and they were able to set up times and dates, and a time frame of when things could get rolling with the rest of the removal.Carlos and Jerry were so nice, and explained everything that had to happen, down to a "T". They answered all of our questions, let us know what the next steps would be and gave us a heads-up that we would be getting notified about moving our stuff out of the house to that they could work. Carlos and Jerry set up dehumidifiers and fans to dry up all the water (over a span of 4 days). They took away all the destroyed materials, which was lovely, because it wasn't sitting in our driveway. And they sprayed the affected areas with a liquid to prevent mold from growing.Like I said, my boyfriend and I loved the experience we had with them, and we would call upon this team, heaven forbid, we ever needed a water mitigation team again.

Ryan and his crew were totally professional. Punctual, efficient and thorough. I've used Service Master twice with water mitigation in my basement in the last three months and totally satisfied. Excellent follow up from the office too! (Thank you, Renee!).

Outdtanding cleaning job by Carlos and Jerry on a 35 year old sleeper-sofa! I was amazed by how great it looked when they left and happy I decided to give this Servicemaster a call. Very professional crew - I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
