Our 7-Step Emergency Flood Cleanup Process for Lake Bluff

1. Immediate Damage Inspection

Our technicians respond to your call with an arrival time of 90 minutes or less.

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.

2. Assessment and Action Plan

After assessing the situation, we develop a strategy for containing the damage.

This action plan includes initial cleanup and tear-out work, flood damage remediation and final property restoration.

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

3. Emergency Flood Water Extraction

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

During the flood damage cleanup phase, we treat all materials affected by mold. Our industry-certified removal process eliminates all fungal growth.

7. Complete Property Restoration

Our restoration work focuses on rebuilding torn-out walls and damaged floors. We replace all flood-damaged materials, including trim and molding. From window and door frames to baseboards and ceilings, our technicians restore your property to its pre-flood condition.

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.
