South Chicago City Fire Damage & Water Damage
While not as bustling as the heart of the namesake city of Chicago north of South Chicago City, this neighborhood continues to grow and diversify with new boutiques, small brick-and-mortar locations, and new business that keeps the local economy thriving. SERVPRO is also a part of this process with our fast response to emergencies and disasters like water and fire threats.
The Concerns of Pooling Water
Extraction is one of the earliest actions against water in a residence. Various types of water removal are critical to stabilizing the house's condition, beginning with any pooling water on the flooring. We have vacuums and pumps to manage standing water concerns and specialty extractors capable of deep penetration through elements like carpeting and padding.
Effectively Drying the House
Any water damage event requires some drying and cleanup. Many tools are needed to effectively and efficiently dry your South Chicago City residence. We have hundreds of machines and units to distribute through work areas as necessary.
The drying process involves approaches and tools like:
- Air movers
- Desiccant dehumidifiers
- Positive Pressure
- Negative Pressure
- Mopping/toweling
Removing Soot Damage from Surfaces
Smoke and fire damage can be the most destructive in a physical form, landing on surfaces as corrosive particles. Soot can be one of the most significant challenges of post-fire recovery, as these residues are highly destructive to the underlying substrate. Our IICRC-certified technicians must work quickly to overcome threatening soil deposits with cleaning products, media blasting, and even controlled demolition as needed.
Overcoming Harsh Odors from Fires
Fire damage can appear in many ways beyond soot and smoke solids as well, however. One of the common post-fire effects SERVPRO professionals must overcome is harsh malodors in a structure. Removing difficult smells from combustion requires more than surface cleaning and debris removal, though these actions can help reduce the severity of malodor presence. Deodorization equipment is needed to complete the job.
