NuEra Restoration and Remodeling
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.
NuEra Restoration and Remodeling 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 NuEra Restoration and Remodeling 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.

How To Prevent Future Water And Fire Damage
There are practical measures that can be implemented to reduce the risk of future floods or fires. Regrettably, it is not possible to entirely eliminate the risk of water damage or fires. It should be noted that properties can be susceptible to damage from floods and fires, even during prolonged periods of absence by the owner.
Understanding the Drying and Restoration Process after Water Damage
If subfloors and baseboards are not taken care of, they may get damaged and become difficult and time-consuming for drying without immediate restoration. If not treated, these surfaces may experience delamination, swelling, and discoloration. Over time, deterioration may occur and spread to various areas, including the ceiling, as the moisture evaporates into the air. The drying process consists of four essential steps for efficiently removing excess moisture from your building materials.
Emergency Water Damage Restoration Checklist
Our water damage restoration service includes a comprehensive inspection of all areas of your property to evaluate the necessary procedures. The flood cleanup process involves tasks such as examining the flooring materials and assessing the condition of the carpets.

"Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Clint and his team were AWESOME!!! He was very considerate of my time and space. I was very frustrated when he arrived & when he left I felt happy and relieved that my issue was resolved! He made sure to clean everything with non-toxic chemicals so that my kids would be safe, he explained everything he was doing and executed it perfectly. I had a leak in my ceiling and sewage water everywhere. He put in the time and hard work to disinfect, clean, and dry everything throughly. He was quick, efficient, and respectful! I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who has an issue in their space. Thank you Clint."

"Our technician Alec came in and re-padded the carpet that had been torn up last week due to water damage. He was so friendly and talkative, and worked very quickly to get the job done! In and out within 30 minutes so that I could get on with my day. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Alec!"
Review by Saima I
"After our apartment flooded on Chirstmas Eve, we were worried about dry wall repairs and patches, and disgusted by the stench. NuEra handled our dry wall replacement and patching and our carpets. We didn't get a business card from the man who worked on our walls and ceilings, but he did so without his partner that day. We are so grateful! After the drywall repairs, our carpets were cleaned so thoroughly and efficiently. Alex treated the carpet and scrubbed it out well before applying the deodorizer and scrubbing that in. He even got out a bright yellow stain from the water that had leaked in. It's such a relief to no longer live in a stinky apartment! Alex and Nick were wonderful! Thank you so much!"
