Our 7-Step Plumbing Leak Cleanup Process for Riverwoods Residents
1. Immediate Damage Inspection
Upon arrival at your Riverwoods property, we immediately inspect all areas damaged by the burst or leaking pipes.
Based on our assessment, we quickly develop a restoration plan and share the details. You know what to expect, including our proposed timeline for job completion. We’re happy to answer any questions you might have.
2. Fast Water Extraction
Our teams get right to work, removing standing and residual water in all affected interiors.
Our truck-mounted extraction equipment pumps water out of basements, crawl spaces, subfloors and wall voids. We use industrial vacuuming tools to pull water out of soaked floors and carpets.
3. Tear-Out and Disposal
Next, we tear out structural materials that must be replaced. This includes ruined drywall, buckled flooring and damaged ceilings. As we work, we clear out general debris left behind by the plumbing breakdown.
Everything is properly disposed of according to Riverwoods municipal codes.
4. Complete Structural Drying
It’s very important to completely dry interiors, especially in areas behind walls and under floors.
Our technicians take care of this critical step with industrial-grade equipment, including centrifugal air movers, heavy-duty axial fans, hardwood floor drying systems and desiccant dehumidifiers.
5. Certified Mold Remediation
Mold grows quickly in water-damaged materials, especially porous drywall and ceiling tiles. As it spreads, it releases spores that contaminate indoor air quality.
We address the problem with highly effective, industry-certified mold removal and remediation techniques.
6. Cleaning, Sanitizing and Deodorizing
This step preps interiors for final restoration. Our teams use safe cleaning products to scrub down all surfaces. We go over everything again with industry-approved sanitizing and disinfecting agents.
Indoor air is refreshed property-wide with our specialized deodorizing process.
7. Expert Property Restoration
Now that your home or business is completely cleaned and dried, we complete the restoration process.
Our technicians replace walls, floors and ceilings. We tape, seal, sand, dust and paint. Every detail from baseboards to ceiling molding is taken care of with professional expertise.
