ProTech Restoration
Excess moisture and water can cause a number of problems for homes and businesses as there are many porous materials to absorb it. Potential causes of water damage include rain, storms, burst pipes, flooding, sewage backups and overflows, and appliance leaks and malfunctions. When these porous materials absorb the water, they quickly become warped and rotted, leaving the risk for mold growth to occur. Unless the area is dried completely, the building structure can become permanently damaged.
ProTech Restoration provides professional water damage restoration services in Elmhurst, IL to extract all water and excess moisture from the affected spaces and dry out the areas. Our technicians handle all levels of water damage; from flooding to a small leak, and we use professional equipment to fully restore water-damaged building materials and belongings. Our technicians also provide complete peace of mind as they have each passed a detailed background check before employment.
The Need for Water Damage Restoration
Even minor amounts of water damage on your property can cause problems over time. Porous materials including wood, flooring, and furnishings quickly absorb water as additional spaces are affected. Over time, the structure will become rotted and warped due to the sitting water. This can be detrimental for wood and drywall as it leads to the deterioration of the structure.
These materials also become vulnerable to mold damage if the water is not dried within 24 hours. If you find water damage on your property, don’t hesitate to contact our professionals.
Water Restoration Process
As soon as ProTech Restoration receives your first call, we will arrive shortly with all equipment and products needed to return your property to its original condition. Our technicians use the perfected method of Rapid Structural Drying, using powerful dehumidifiers and air movers to evaporate water molecules and prevent permanent damage within the affected materials. We will also address hidden areas with water damage, including subflooring, drywall, and crawlspaces, using moisture meters to ensure that all damage is restored.
When working with your insurance company, it can be difficult to determine whether the amount of damage is enough to file an insurance claim. Our technicians will determine the scope of work and provide you with a free estimate. The estimate is then compared to your deductible to help you make a decision on whether or not to make a claim. If you decide to do so, we will bill your insurance carrier directly.

ProTech Restoration uses 3D technology to help document the damage to each personal item as well as inventory and equipment for homes. We will provide you and your insurance adjuster with a link to these files and eliminate any disputes to make the claims process efficient.

"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."
