Water Damage Restoration and Repair Services in Elmhurst, IL

RestorationMaster

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.

RestorationMaster 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.
