Our 7-Step Water Damage Restoration Process for Riverwoods Residents

1. Inspection and Assessment

water damage inspection riverwoods

We begin with a property-wide inspection of your Riverwoods home or business. Our teams assess the damage to interiors and contents, including furnishings and belongings. If needed, we can tarp the roof and board up windows.

2. Restoration Plan and Consultation

Using our assessment, we draw up a plan for restoring interiors and addressing water-damaged contents. We share this action plan with you and answer any questions you might have. Your input is important to us.

3. Immediate Water Removal

Our advanced truck-mounted extraction systems quickly remove standing water from flooded areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, laundry rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. We take care of residual water in salvageable carpets and floors with heavy-duty vacuuming equipment.

4. Highly Efficient Structural Drying

Next, our technicians set up specialized equipment designed to dry structural materials and restore indoor air quality. This is done with floor drying systems, axial air blowers, centrifugal air movers and desiccant dehumidifiers.

5. Mitigation and Tear-Out

6. Disinfection and Remediation

All surfaces, including walls, floors and ceilings, are deep cleaned with safe effective products. We go over everything a second time with disinfecting agents and restore indoor air quality with specialized deodorizing techniques.

7. Property Restoration

With this last step, we return your water-damaged home or business to its pre-loss condition. Our teams finalize structural repairs and rebuild interiors. Floors, walls and ceilings are finished and detailed with professional expertise.

When we’re done, we ask you to inspect our work. When we have your approval, we consider the job a success.

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.
