We immediately inspect the flood damage to your property, as well as contents and personal belongings.
We also note any security issues, boarding up broken windows and doors if necessary.

We consult with you, outlining our plan in detail. We welcome your input and answer all your questions.

Using truck-mounted extraction equipment, our teams immediately remove standing water from all areas affected by the property flood emergency.
We take care of residual water in carpets and flooring with industrial-grade vacuuming equipment.
Our extraction work is highly effective, allowing us to quickly move on to the next phase.
4. Water Damage Containment
Floodwater damage must be contained right away. We apply floodwater mitigation techniques that prevent its spread into adjacent areas of your Lake Bluff property.
For example, we tear out and dispose of soaked structural materials. As we work, our teams address any secondary water damage issues and identify areas that need mold remediation.
5. Property-Wide Structural Drying
In order to speed up the structural drying process, our technicians set up an array of industrial-grade equipment.
Heavy-duty air movers and axial fans operate 24/7. We use wood floor drying systems and desiccant dehumidifiers to remove all traces of residual moisture and bring indoor humidity levels back to normal.
6. Flood Damage Cleanup
This step includes deep-cleaning flood-damaged interiors.
We scrub all surfaces and follow up with specialized sanitizing and disinfecting techniques. Our teams rigorously adhere to OSHA and CDC guidelines.
During the flood damage cleanup phase, we treat all materials affected by mold. Our industry-certified removal process eliminates all fungal growth.
