Dealing with a Water Loss: What to Expect

1/27/2020 (Permalink)

Water and flooding emergencies can happen at any moment and can be devastating. SERVPRO of Gurnee provides emergency cleaning and restoration services 24 hours a day 7 days a week – including holidays.

Initial steps we take:

• Upon arriving, we will survey the damage and premises, identifying any safety concerns.  Our first priority is to attempt to “preserve and protect” your structure and contents. 
• Identify the source or type of water and make sure that its source has been stopped. Water that is contaminated, such as sewer water requires specialized cleaning. 
• Identify and locate any visible mold growth. Mold can create health concerns for anyone in the household.
• Measure temperature and humidity for the drying analysis; this process will determine what equipment we will need in order to remove all the moisture from the contents and structure. This is very important because it helps minimize property damage and mold growth. 

We understand when dealing with a water or flooding loss you may feel scared, confused and stressed. During this difficult time, you need a company with the experience and training to help you through it. SERVPRO of Gurnee has the water damage experience and training to help you through this tough time.
