Burst and Leaking Pipes Cleanup Chicago, IL

Typically, most policies cover 100 percent of water damages excluding your deductible. However, be sure to check coverage details with your agent. We need as much information as possible so that we can help you file your water damage restoration claim.

Once we inspect the problem, we carefully explain the restoration work involved and provide a cost estimate. Be careful of contractors who quote a price over the phone.

First things first, shut off the main water supply to the building. This will stop the leak and help prevent further damage. Next, release pressure from the building’s pipes by opening all the taps at the kitchen and bathroom faucets. This helps relieve the pressure in the building’s pipes and prevent burst or broken pipes. Next, if the damage is minimal and the area is safe for you to enter (there are no electrical or other hazards present), use towels and sponges to sop up standing water. The sooner you can get the water off the floor, the less likely your building is to experience extensive damage. Next, place household fans in the affected area to promote airflow, and open windows and doors to speed up the drying process. Call in the professionals. Next, it’s time to call in the big guns. Even a minor water leak can cause extensive, unseen damage in your Chicago home or business. Contact a plumber to stop and repair the leaks, and then call ServiceMaster Restoration by Zaba for a comprehensive water damage assessment. Our team will identify the extent of the water damage and provide necessary cleanup and restoration.
