Water Damage Restoration in Chicago, IL
Water damage can be caused by any number of reasons. Water can leak out of pipes, appliances, or tanks, or even out of any reservoirs in a building that are meant to contain water. It then spills into areas that are meant to be dry, and it can wreak major havoc.
Water damage occurs in a structure when:
- There is flooding in the structure
- Appliances that use water leak
- Sinks, tubs, washing machines, and toilets overflow
- Pipes burst
- Flooding is caused by storms
- There is a backup and overflow of sewage.
- Water floods into a basement due to a sump pump malfunction
- There is poor draining, which causes water to seep into the basement
- Leaking roof
- Cracks in the foundation that allow water to seep
Category 3 water is the biggest health hazard of all the categories. It is unsafe, and should not be consumed or even touched. It is also referred to as black water. This type of water is usually the product of sewage leaks, but it can also be caused by chemicals, such as fertilizer or animal feces that come from the ground around the building.
While category 1 is the safest, it can become category 2 after just 48 hours of sitting. The same goes for category 2 water turning into category 3. The longer it is left alone, the more dangerous it can get.
Water Removal Methods
At this point, BMS CAT can get to work on our water damage repair strategy. Usually it is a systemic, step-by-step plan that ensures that no steps are missed. We use industrial strength equipment, from shop vacs to other tools, to make sure that water is removed completely from any Chicago buildings that are affected. We will move through each room to make sure that all standing water is gone before proceeding to the next step.
That next step is making sure that the building is completely dry. Once the standing water is removed, it is then time to dry the surfaces. This involves using air movers, dehumidifiers, and even towels to complete the process. We will take off baseboards to make sure that there is no hidden water behind them, and even drill holes into drywall if need be. We will make sure that every drop of water is removed from those spaces, leaving the areas bone dry. We always take it one room at a time, and make sure that a room is completely dry before moving on to the next.
Chicago Water Damage Repair
With BMS CAT, we do not consider our water damage repair job complete until every single affected room is completely dried. We take periodic readings to test the moisture content of all of our Chicago job sites to make completely sure that moisture is gone. Our goal is to make sure that our clients are 100% satisfied that the space is dry, and that a general contractor is then free to do their work if there is structural damage.
Even a Little Water Can Cause Big Problems
You might think that a tiny flood is no big deal, but it definitely can be. Mold thieves in moisture, humid areas with high temperatures. It can cause very dangerous health issues.
