Our 7-Step Emergency Flood Cleanup Process for Palatine
1. Property Flood Damage Inspection
We start with a thorough inspection of the flood damage to your Palatine property. Our teams make note of areas that need immediate attention and assess the overall situation.
We can also secure your home or business by tarping the roof and boarding up broken windows.
2. Restoration Action Plan
Next, we consolidate our assessment into an action plan for restoring your flood-damaged property. This includes an estimated timeline for project completion. With your input and approval, we get started right away.
3. Emergency Water Extraction
Our technicians immediately pump out standing floodwater with highly efficient, truck-mounted extraction equipment. We take care of residual water using specialized vacuuming tools.
This critical step ensures complete water removal, even from basements and crawls spaces, and it clears the way for safely beginning our tear-out phase.
4. Debris and Tear-Out Disposal
Property flooding from a storm or plumbing disaster leaves behind multiple types of debris. As we clean it all up, we tear out water-damaged materials that can’t be restored.
From crumbled drywall and collapsed ceiling tiles to ruined flooring and carpets, our teams clear out everything for safe disposal, following all city codes.
5. Expedited Structural Drying
Our structural drying techniques significantly reduce the time it takes to normalize interior humidity. We use heavy-duty axial fans, centrifugal air movers and specialized dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from structural materials.
Our technicians closely monitor progress during this step with thermo hygrometers, moisture meters and hydro sensors.
6. Flood Remediation and Mold Removal
Flood remediation is a combination of deep cleaning and reconstruction. We hand-scrub surfaces with specially formulated products and finish by sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing affected areas.
Mold is a common type of secondary water damage. We eliminate it using industry-certified removal and remediation techniques that remove all fungal growth, including toxic black mold.
7. Complete Flood Damage Restoration
During this final phase, we rebuild, replace and restore flood damaged interiors. Walls, floors and ceilings are reconstructed. Our teams finish each area with professional attention to detail.
When we’re done, we take care of final cleanup and invite you to inspect our work. We don’t consider the job done until we have your complete approval.
