Flooding and Water Damage Restoration in Fox Lake, IL

Water causes damage day and night, and fast action is needed to minimize the chances of secondary damage and more time-consuming and costly repairs. Our local team in Northwest Lake County responds to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Fox Lake, and we typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call.

Our technicians are highly trained and certified to restore water damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the nonprofit certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industries. We use powerful, industrial-grade water extraction equipment and monitor and document the drying process to ensure the area is returned to normal humidity levels.

There are many reasons water damage can occur. Inside the house, pipes and appliances can break down, and sewer systems can back up anytime. Outside the home, water intrusion from flooding, damaged roofs, foundation cracks, and blocked drains can cause damage.

Whatever the cause, you’ll want to call a company that can manage the repair process from start to finish. Whenever possible, we work to minimize the disruption to your home and family, and we keep you informed every step of the way during the remediation process.

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

1.  Emergency Contact

When you call us, our consultant will guide you through several questions that will help us respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property’s water damage, determining the type of water damage and the areas affected. This is a crucial step to creating an effective plan of action that will result in a successful restoration.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. We start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water which is harder to access. Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. We can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. We also disinfect with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.
