Water Damage Restoration Services

Various forms of water damage can occur in homes and buildings, causing it to be difficult to keep your home protected from all of the potential sources.  The most obvious sources of water damage are heavy rains and flooding; however, it can also be caused by excess humidity, drainage backups, sump pump overflows, plumbing leaks, burst pipes, and sewage.

Water damage can quickly become a severe problem, making it important for you to call the experts right away.  ProTech Restoration provides water damage restoration services for commercial and residential buildings in Elk Grove Village, IL to remove excess water and thoroughly drying the affected areas.  You can trust our experienced technicians to get the job done efficiently, effectively restoring your home or office back to its previous condition.

 

Professional Flood Cleanup

As common as water damage can be, it requires an immediate response as any case of water damage can quickly become a serious problem.  Numerous major building materials, including drywall, flooring, wood, and insulation are porous and allow water to travel through them.

This weakens the materials, increasing the risk of extensive structural damage while creating the perfect conditions for mold growth.  Moisture is a major trigger of mold and mildew growth; the presence of mold can make the damage worse, negatively affecting the health of those who are exposed.

Frozen Pipe Repair And Flood Cleanup

In Elk Grove Village, IL, and the surrounding areas, winters are characterized by heavy snowfall and extremely low temperatures. Due to the cold weather conditions, there is a possibility of frozen pipes occurring. When temperatures drop low enough, the water inside pipes will freeze and expand, turning into ice. This expansion puts stress on the pipes. If enough pressure is applied, the ice can cause the pipe to burst, leading to water spreading throughout the property and causing water damage.

ProTech Restoration offers frozen pipe damage restoration services to residents of Elk Grove Village, IL, and the surrounding areas. Our team of professionals specializes in cleaning up the mess caused by burst pipes and restoring the affected properties. The process involves extracting water, drying the area, and then restoring the damaged materials.

How To Prevent Future Water And Fire Damage

It’s important to remember that there are straightforward measures you can implement to greatly diminish the likelihood of encountering a flood or fire in the future. However, it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of water damage or fires. It’s worth noting that numerous property floods and fires can occur even when the owner is absent for an extended period.

Understanding the Drying and Restoration Process after Water Damage

If your subfloors and baseboards are left untreated, they can suffer significant damage, making it challenging to thoroughly dry them unless immediate restoration takes place. Without prompt treatment, these surfaces may become delaminated at the seams, swollen, and discolored. Over time, they can even deteriorate, spreading to other areas, including the ceiling as the moisture evaporates into the air. Our drying process involves four key steps to effectively eliminate excess moisture from your building materials.

Emergency Water Damage Restoration Checklist

We provide a comprehensive water damage restoration service that includes a thorough inspection of each area of your property to assess the necessary procedures. Here is a checklist for our flood cleanup process, which involves examining the flooring materials and assessing the condition of the carpets.

Rating 5 5 Star Disaster Restoration Rating

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"

"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
