Not all water damage is created equal as sometimes excess moisture causes minor surface damage or discoloration that can be easily fixed. Flooding, however, results in the worst type of water damage because it can cause extensive damage in a large area and result in the growth of mold or mildew. Indoor flooding may be caused by heavy rain and natural flooding, burst pipes, overflows, or serious leaks and it requires immediate attention to help prevent extensive damage. ProTech Restoration provides flood damage restoration and cleanup services in Northbrook, IL to extract flood water and clean up the resulting damage. Our technicians have the training and equipment necessary to effectively deal with extreme cases of indoor flooding.
It does not take long for excessive amounts of water to penetrate flooring, wood, drywall, and other furnishings or building materials which is why you must call a professional immediately. Many of the affected surfaces will start to warp or become discolored and if too much water is absorbed, walls and flooring can lose their structural integrity. The presence of mold is also likely to occur with indoor flooding which presents a serious health threat to you and your family.
The technicians of ProTech Restoration can effectively remove indoor flood water using advanced water extraction equipment. Once we remove the standing flood water, we will set up dehumidifiers in the affected area to extract all excess moisture from the air, furnishings, and other wet materials.
We take care of the following with our flood damage restoration services:
- Emergency Response: Our technicians will arrive soon after your call to limit and evaluate the damage.
- Water Removal and Drying: Our water extraction equipment can remove flood water and we will dry all affected materials.
- Reinstallation and Cleaning: Any large objects we remove during the restoration will be returned to their original place when we have completed the work.
Flooding from Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are one possible source of indoor flooding, especially during the winter. Freezing temperatures can cause the water within the pipes to freeze if the pipes are in an uninsulated area like the attic or basement. The frozen water slowly expands which puts pressure on the pipe until it bursts and causes water to leak out into your home. While burst pipes are more likely during the winter, they can happen at any time of the year as worn out pipes are also at risk to burst. The technicians of ProTech Restoration can clean up the water damage caused by a burst pipe and fix the pipe. If there are pipes in uninsulated areas of your home, you can install pipe insulation or try to keep these areas warm to prevent frozen pipes.
If you experience significant flooding in your home or building, it won’t be long before you are facing serious structural damage or mold growth. Call ProTech Restoration right away for flood damage restoration services in Northbrook, IL at (847) 558-6604. Our technicians will quickly remove the flood water and get the affected areas restored.

"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."
