Water Damage Restoration Chicago & Damage Repair Service

Flooding from storms, burst plumbing, or water damage from leaking heating and air conditioner systems can trigger serious damage to your residential or commercial property. Without the right knowledge and equipment, removing the standing water and fixing the damage can be an overwhelming job.

BMS CAT Chicago provides emergency response to water damage, and our company has been providing homeowners and business owners water damage repair work and restoration services since 1948. If your property has suffered damage as a result of water, we are experts to choose as your recovery partner.

Water Damage Restoration in Chicago, IL

Water damage can be caused by any number of reasons, such as burst pipes, toilet or dishwasher overflows, and much more. Damage resulting from water should be addressed immediately, or it may cause secondary damage to your property.

Water damage occurs in a structure when:

  • There is flooding inside of the structure
  • Appliances cause a water leak
  • Sinks, tubs, washing machines, and toilets overflow
  • Pipes burst
  • Storms cause flooding
  • 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

Chicago Contaminated Water Cleanup

Any standing water that has flooded an area of a structure, such as the basement, gets categorized depending on how contaminated it is.

Category 1 water is clean and potable. Usually this comes in the form of water that has overflowed from a sink or a faucet. It’s water that you would have had no problem drinking before it leaked into the area. It is very safe, and poses minimal to no risk of contamination.

Category 2 water is wastewater. This is water has already been used, such as in the bathtub or a draining sink. You would definitely not drink from it. It is also called gray water. This is water that has been contaminated, but the risk is probably still small.

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 in Chicago

So, you’ve discovered standing water in your home or in a building where you work. What next? The best thing is for the homeowner or building manager to do whatever is necessary to cut off the source of the water so that the water stops rising. If they cannot, then a professional plumber can get the job done for them.

After this task, then it is up to the water damage restoration professionals at BMS CAT to take over. We will first assess the damage so that we can put together a strategy for restoring the home or building. This means collecting a lot of information, such as how long the water was standing, how much damage there is, and where the water came from. We have equipment designed to identify moisture content of surfaces that are supposed to be dry, such as baseboards and walls. If the moisture content is too high, then we may need to use special drying equipment.

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 to make sure that water is removed completely from any Chicago property or building that is 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 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 check our progress. Our goal is to make sure that our clients are 100% satisfied that the space is dry.

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 thrives in moisture, and humid areas with high temperatures. It can cause very dangerous health issues. If you already have health issues, such as asthma, then it can make them even worse. The experts at BMS CAT understand that mold and other bacteria and contaminants are serious problems that must be dealt with quickly and effectively.

Water Extraction Experts

We offer specialized water extraction services to remove water from your home or facilities. Our water extraction services remove water from flooring, walls, upholstery and carpets. We work to rapidly dry, ventilate, and sanitize your structure and surfaces, so you can get back to normalcy.
