Our 7-Step Emergency Flood Cleanup Process for Riverwoods, IL Residents

1. Immediate Damage Inspection

flood damage inspection riverwoods

We start with an immediate inspection of your Riverwoods home or business. Our teams assess factors such as depth of any standing water, condition of interiors and structural stability.

If necessary, we secure the property by boarding up windows and tarping the roof.

2. Action Plan Consultation

Our damage assessment serves as the framework for developing a restoration action plan. We share the details with you, including what to expect from each step during our process.

Your input is welcomed, and we’re glad to answer any questions.

3. Property-Wide Water Removal

With your go-ahead, we begin cleanup by removing standing water and residual moisture.

Our truck-mounted extraction systems quickly take care of flooded basements, crawl spaces and wall voids. We pull water from carpets and flooring with advanced vacuuming equipment.

4. Material Tear-Out and Disposal

Next, we tear out ruined interior materials, including drywall, ceilings and floors. Our teams haul off unsalvageable carpets, furnishings, appliances and general debris. Everything is properly disposed of following all local regulations.

5. Deep Structural Drying

As we prep interiors for remediation, we make sure structural components are dry. Our technicians set up and run centrifugal air movers, axial fans and desiccant dehumidifiers, carefully monitoring the drying process.

6. Water Damage Remediation

Once the drying process is completed, our teams finalize the cleanup phase. We hand-scrub all surfaces with safe, effective cleaning products, and then follow up with sanitizing and disinfecting agents.

Our specialized deodorizing techniques restore indoor air quality property-wide. We also clean up and eliminate mold growth using industry-certified removal and remediation techniques.

7. Detailed Property Restoration

Now that your property is thoroughly cleaned and dried, we restore all flood-damaged interiors. Our teams replace buckled floors, rebuild crumbled walls and repair collapsed ceilings. We do everything with a professional eye for detail, from molding and baseboards to framing and trim.

When we’re finished, we accompany you on an inspection and answer any final questions. When we have your complete approval of the results, we consider our work a success.

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.
