Our Flooded Basement Restoration Process for Chicago, IL & Suburbs

It’s easier to deal with a flooded basement when you know what to expect. We start with an action plan based on our inspection of your basement. Our flood-damaged basement restoration process follows these six steps.

1. Water Source ID and Repair

We begin our cleanup and restoration process by identifying the source and type of water in your basement. Our technicians take care of necessary repairs, and we can bring in trusted members of our professional network to solve problems like extensive plumbing failures.

2. Complete Water Removal

Once we’ve addressed the source, our teams use heavy-duty pumping and vacuuming systems to remove basement water. We follow up with water remediation techniques that prepare the area for cleanup and restoration.

3. Basement Flood Cleanup

We thoroughly scrub all areas and surfaces in the basement, including hard-to reach places behind and under appliances. Our technicians use power wash equipment as needed to clean concrete floors. We also explain what items can and can’t be salvaged from your flooded basement.

4. Efflorescence and Mold Remediation

A wet basement often develops white, powdery patches of efflorescence on walls and concrete floors. The humid environment also quickly breeds unhealthy mold growth. Our basement cleanup teams remove both and prevent their return with specialized remediation products and techniques.

5. Basement Drying and Deodorizing

Using industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, we dry out the basement, affected materials and salvageable items. Basement humidity and temperature are closely monitored as the area dries to industry standards. We also use disinfecting products that treat antimicrobial contamination and kill odor-causing bacteria.

6. Restoration and Reconstruction

After any type of flooding, finished basements usually need material tear-out and reconstruction. We take care of it all, and we can often salvage furnishings, appliances and belongings. Our basement water damage restoration process returns your downstairs space to its pre-flood condition. As we clean and restore your flooded basement, we can also help you file your water damage insurance claim. Our staff understands how to navigate the details and handle the paperwork. It’s just one more way we make it easier to deal with basement flooding.
