When it comes to your home or office, Chicago water damage can be one of the most notorious forms of disaster. Broken pipes, leaky or frozen pipes, sink overflow, toilet overflow, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, and dishwasher malfunctions are just some of the problems that can cause water damage in your home or office. Any furniture, fabric, and the floor of a residential or commercial property is at risk when water has swamped the site and has been left standing for a long time. Take a look at wood flooring surfaces, for example, which is quickly affected by sitting water and becomes rotted in a short period of time. When water is not effectively and rapidly drawn out from a property it can go as far as creating other more serious and unsafe problems, like the development and advancement of mold.

As a restoration company, we are here to guide and advise you on what to do when your property is in trouble. To begin, we advise you to know where moisture is coming from. While some mold damage is easily detected by sight and smell, much of it can also grow undetected between the walls or underneath floorboards of your property. Mold left uncontrolled and untreated can quickly multiply and grow to treacherous and unhealthy levels that can negatively affect your health- targeting infants, elderly people, pregnant or nursing women, as well as individuals with asthma or low immune system. The longer mold festers, the more difficult it is to remove. The sooner we can do the mold cleanup, the faster we can get rid of it and restore your property.
As stated previously, mold starts and sprouts where there is moisture- outside and/or inside of a property. Mold has been known as an invisible intruder because although a surface may look clean and safe, mold can be attacking it and one might not even know it. The next thing to look for is the size of contamination. This is crucial because it will give our technicians an idea of what they are dealing and working with. As a homeowner, it is also important that you document the damage. We advise you to take pictures and videos that thoroughly show all the damage the mold has done.
If you have had a water or plumbing leak at home or work, you should be concerned about mold damage and should reach to contact one of our mold inspectors here at 1st Choice.

Our Chicago Water Damage Process
To start our water damage cleanup services, our service technicians must initially have an idea and a comprehensive report of the water that has to be removed, coupled with things like: the root, where in the property and the scale of the damage, for starters. This happens right when you call us and it helps us know and address your urgent situation by giving us an idea of the kind of damage that we are dealing with. This portion of the procedure, or initial contact as we call it, is important when it involves recovering your residential or commercial property. Shifting from the initial contact, we will right away examine the impaired parts.
A comprehensive assessment helps our team learn more about the seriousness of the damage created by the water or sewage and also helps us create an appropriate strategy. Making the most of the best devices in the business, we begin our water removal services working with state-of-the-art pumps, vacuums and fans; these extract water and cut down the chances of other troubles. Because flood water, sewage and other forms of Chicago water damage can have an effect on whole entire areas, our reconstruction and removal plans include cleaning and drying- which make it easy for us to get every single thing cleaned, including things like the hard to get to areas.
Using modern dryers and dehumidifiers makes it possible for us to get rid of wetness from affected areas you generally do not see. Because we focus in water cleanup and reconstruction, sanitizing and cleaning are also provided in our professional services. When we clean up and purify, we don’t just rub- we use antibacterial treatment options, clear away funky odors and use the most effective machines to do it all.
