Even for people who don’t live anywhere near a lake, water damage is a common disaster in the United States. “Common” doesn’t mean that it’s “easy to clean up.” It means that insurance companies have vast experience in knowing what works, and what doesn’t work, to take care of water damage, including flooded homes. What doesn’t work is trying to get rid of the water yourself. What does work is hiring an experienced water-damage remediation specialist, such as SERVPRO of Northwest Lake County.

The most crucial factor in reducing the massive amount of damage that water can do is time. Call us at 224-372-7772 any time of any day.

We promise to be: Faster to Any Size Disaster

Indoor Flooding is Always a Disaster

An average-sized room is 11 x 12 feet. Suppose a minor flood left it with one inch of water. That means:

• 79 gallons of (likely contaminated) water
• Over 657 pounds of water
• Too much for a wet-vac and a mop

If you try to extract the water yourself, it will take a long enough time that:

• The remaining water will damage the floors, wall, subflooring, and any contents in the room
• Water will seep into the ceiling of the room below it OR the foundation of the house, causing structural damage
• Any water that disappears into structural elements may stay long enough (over 24 to 48 hours) to allow mold to grow (another major source of damage)
• Odors will get stronger

Trivia

We learned in elementary school that mammals bear live young, but the echidna (type of anteater) and the duck-billed platypus lay eggs.
