You should never hesitate to act if you find yourself dealing with water damage because excess water and moisture will only penetrate deeper into your home and cause serious problems. Rain, flooding, overflows, burst pipes, and leaks can all lead to excess water or moisture that will spread by getting absorbed into the building materials. Absorbent building materials like wood and drywall may sustain serious damage from excess water and water damaged buildings are also at much higher risk for mold growth. NuEra Restoration and Remodeling provides water damage restoration services in Glenview, IL to extract water and moisture from affected homes and buildings. We can fully dry affected materials with our advanced drying equipment and we will also repair the damage caused by the water.
The reason water damage should be treated as an emergency is because it will not stop spreading once it starts. Wood, insulation, drywall, and flooring are all porous materials that absorb water and allow it to penetrate deep where it can cause serious structural damage. These affected materials may become warped and discolored or lose their structural integrity entirely. Water damaged materials are also at a high risk for mold growth if the problem is not addressed. The presence of mold will lead to even worse damage to the affected materials and cause health issues including allergies and infection.
Each of our technicians are IICRC certified to provide water damage restoration and we can effectively remove all water and moisture with the best water extraction and drying equipment of the industry. Our water damage restoration services include these steps:
- Inspection and Assessment: We will inspect the entire damaged area of your home or building to determine the scope of the damage. We will save any broken parts that may have contributed to the damage for your insurance company and take pictures of the damage as well. We will then form a restoration plan based on our inspection.
- Water Extraction: We completely remove water and excess moisture from your home with our water extraction equipment. This equipment can extract water out of the structural elements, furnishings, and other wet objects. If necessary, we will remove baseboards and carpet padding during the extraction process.
- Installation of Drying Equipment: Our technicians will place air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the home or building to help further dry the affected areas. This step is very important for preventing mold growth and it is completed in 2-3 days.
- Monitoring of Drying Equipment: Our technicians show up on each day of the drying process to take moisture readings and rearrange the equipment to help speed the drying process.

What to Do After Water Damage
- Try to stop the excess water or moisture at its source. If there is a major plumbing leak, shut off the main water supply.
- Mop or bot dry to soak up excess water.
- Put the bottoms of your drapes or curtains through a coat hanger and put the hanger on the rod so they don’t touch the floor.

- Wipe excess water from your furniture and put aluminum foil between the furniture legs and your carpet.
- Put photos, paintings, and other fragile objects in a dry place.
- Take pictures of the damage to give to your insurance provider.

"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!"
