2. Assessment and Action Plan

Based on our assessment, we develop a restoration action plan, share the details and answer your questions. We want you to know what to expect, including the scope of work and estimated time for job completion.

3. Water Damage Mitigation

This step focuses on stopping the water damage from spreading any further. We use powerful truck-mounted systems to extract standing water and specialized vacuum equipment to remove residual water.

4. Material Tear-Out and Disposal

Next, we remove unsalvageable materials, including crumbling drywall, soaked ceilings and ruined carpets. Our teams adhere to all city codes covering demolition and disposal. As we work, we identify and address secondary water damage.

5. Applied Structural Drying

We take care of structural drying using industrial-grade equipment. Our teams set up heavy-duty axial fans, high-volume air movers, hardwood floor drying systems and specialized desiccant dehumidifiers.

6. Cleanup, Sanitizing and Deodorizing

Water damage cleanup involves thoroughly scrubbing down all affected areas. We follow up with property-wide sanitizing and deodorizing procedures. Our water damage services also include eliminating mold with certified removal and remediation techniques.

7. Complete Water Damage Restoration

Finally, we replace torn-out materials in ceilings, walls and floors. Our teams also clean salvageable personal items and business contents. We handle every restoration detail with professional pride. When we’re done, your property is restored to its pre-loss condition.

Water damage worsens with each second that passes by.

We Specialize in Category 3 Water Cleanup

Sewage backups and storm flooding cause a dangerous type of water damage. In both cases, the water is highly contaminated with pathogens and chemicals. Often called black water, it poses serious health risks. We specialize in cleaning up all types of Category 3 water damage.

Our technicians are industry-certified and highly experienced dealing with hazardous situations. We apply OSHA-compliant techniques to clean, sanitize and deodorize surfaces affected by Category 3 water. Our teams are on call 24/7 for this type of emergency.

We Restore Water-Damaged Basements

A flooded basement is a homeowner’s nightmare. Whether it’s caused by storm flooding, burst pipes or broken appliances, we handle it. We immediately address the situation with our truck-mounted extraction system that quickly pumps out all standing water.

Our teams take care of water-damaged basements in Lincolnwood homes and businesses, and we restore finished basements to their pre-loss condition. We also clean and recover salvageable contents stored in the basement.

Our Mold Remediation Services Are Industry-Certified

Mold is often an issue after water damage. It permeates porous materials, causes structural damage and generates unhealthy airborne spores. We solve mold problems, including toxic black mold, with industry-certified techniques.

Our mold removal process cleans up all fungal growth. Our remediation process makes sure it doesn’t return. We restore the healthy interiors and indoor air quality you expect in your home or at the workplace.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Their staff was incredible when we had a tricky double-insurance claim on our basement when a plumber left a sewage pipe cap off (twice!) in the span of 3 months. It was several months of back and forth with insurance and their staff, Brittney especially, went to bat for us, helped walk the field agents through the estimate, did 3-way phone calls, and even met and did a follow up review of the estimate on-site with their adjuster. They never dropped a ball, and were quick and tidy with the remediation. We can't thank them enough for the perfect customer service when navigating a really rough insurance claims process.

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.

How to Protect Your Home from Water Damage

Flood Preparedness – Ready.gov

How much does water damage restoration cost in Lincolnwood?

The cost of cleaning up water damage in a Lincolnwood home averages between $3,000 and $8,000. Typically, the cost is based on total square footage of water-damaged areas.

Are there problems that add to the cost of water damage restoration?

Yes. Cleaning up Category 3 water impacts the final cost. Other factors that might affect cleanup costs include how long ago the water damaged occurred, the extent of mold growth and structural issues.

What should I do before water cleanup teams arrive?

If you can do so safely, turn off the electricity to water-damaged areas. Document your losses with photographs. Don’t dispose of ruined items until after the insurance adjuster makes an inspection.

Will homeowners insurance cover water damage to my property?

In most cases, yes. There are a few exceptions. For example, storm flooding isn’t covered by homeowners insurance. If a plumbing problem is determined to be the result of neglect, you may not be covered.
