Our 7-Step Pipe Leak Damage Cleanup Process for Des Plaines Residents

When you need professional cleanup and restoration after a plumbing emergency, you want to know what to expect. We understand. Our cleanup process follows these seven steps.

1. Assessment, Repairs and Action Plan

First, we quickly assess the extent of the pipe water damage. This gives us the information we need to draw up an action plan for cleaning and restoring your property.

burst-pipes-repair-des-plaines

Our water damage technicians can fix small pipe leaks and breaks, but we recommend bringing in licensed plumbing professionals for large or complicated repairs.

2. Emergency Water Extraction

Next, we extract standing water with advanced truck-mounted pump systems. The equipment is especially effective for removing water from flooded basements and subfloors.

Our teams follow up with specialized vacuuming techniques that take care of residual water in carpets and flooring.

3. Pipe Water Damage Mitigation

Crumbling drywall and collapsed ceiling tiles are examples of the soggy debris left behind after a plumbing emergency. We mitigate the situation by managing safety issues, clearing out affected interiors and containing the water damage.

4. Applied Structural Drying

In order to speed up the drying process, we set up industrial-grade equipment that continually circulates fresh air through interiors damaged by the pipe water emergency.

Our structural drying techniques are maximized by centrifugal air movers, axial fans and desiccant dehumidifiers.

5. Pipe Leak Damage Remediation

Our water damage remediation sets the stage for final reconstruction and restoration. We tear out and dispose of materials that can’t be salvaged, such as ruined drywall and soaked carpeting.

All remaining porous and non-porous surfaces are scrubbed with industry-approved products. This intensive cleaning is followed by disinfecting and deodorizing all affected areas.

6. Highly Effective Mold Remediation burst-pipes-restoration-des-plaines

Mold removal and remediation are critical steps in cleaning up after burst pipe water damage. We use industry-certified techniques to eliminate the fungus. Our remediation process ensures the mold doesn’t return.

7. Property-Wide Restoration and Final Cleaning

During this last step, our teams replace water-damaged floors, ceilings and walls. We take care of every detail, from baseboards and crown molding to window and door casings.

When the work is complete, interiors at your home or workplace are restored to their pre-loss condition. With your inspection and final approval, we consider the job a success.

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.
