How to Know If You Need Water Damage Cleanup and Restoration
Even minimal water damage can wreak havoc on your home. Mold can start to form within just hours of water exposure, for example, and severely water-damaged drywall and carpet often need to be replaced.
Still, water damage isn’t always obvious. As such, it’s important to recognize the symptoms of water damage in your home or business. Here are a few warning signs to watch out for:
- Warped, cupping, or creaking floorboards. Floors that feel boggy, uneven, or warped under your feet may indicate that moisture has collected under the floorboards, compromising the integrity of the wood.
- The sound of running or dripping water. If you hear dripping or gushing water coming from your walls, it could mean you have a broken pipe. Contact a plumber immediately.
- The smell of mold or mildew. Mold and mildew both have a damp, musty smell. If you’ve started to notice this aroma around your home, it could be a sign that you have water damage.
- Pools of water. Pooling water is one of the most obvious signs that you need water damage repair. While it can happen anywhere, pooling water is most common around appliances like washers, dishwashers, toilets, showers, and bathtubs, and under sinks.
- Water stains. Water stains around your doors or windows or on your walls are reliable signs of water damage. Peeling, cracked, or blistering paint could also indicate a leak.
- Spiking water bills. If you’ve noticed that your water bills are suddenly sky-high, it could be a sign of a broken pipe.

Our 6 Step Water Damage Cleanup Process for Magnificent Mile Residents
When you work with ServiceMaster of Lake Shore, you expect excellent results. Here’s the process our team follows to deliver that level of quality:
1. Comprehensive assessment
When we arrive at your home, we conduct a comprehensive water damage assessment. We’ll identify the source of the water damage, assess the level of contamination of the water, and develop a plan to restore the damage.
2. Water removal
Next, our team will get to work removing water from the affected area. Our truck-mounted pumping systems allow us to remove standing water quickly and efficiently, preparing the area for drying and restoration.
3. Drying
Once the water is gone, our team will bring in heavy-duty air-moving equipment, including fans and dehumidifiers, to remove as much moisture as possible.
4. Disinfection and cleaning
Water damage can create a variety of health hazards, including mold and mildew infestations. Our team will provide professional disinfecting and deodorizing for all affected areas, as well as complete mold remediation and removal. These services help restore your property to a livable condition.
5. Restoration
Once we’ve dried, disinfected, and cleaned the area, we’ll get to work restoring elements that cannot be saved. Our team can replace damaged drywall, for example, and install new flooring and ceiling materials.
6. Final walk-through
Before we consider the job finished, we’ll walk through your property with you to ensure you’re 100% satisfied.
