If your Chicagoland home isn’t near a lake or river or built on a floodplain, you may think it’s safe from flood damage. But unfortunately, that’s far from accurate. Every home that’s ever been built can experience flooding.
On average, only one inch of water can cause about $25,000 in damage to your property. So, if you don’t take proactive measures to stop flooding, you put your house in danger of long-term harm from water damage that can lead to big costs later. Here are some examples of how flooding can happen at home.
Water damage to a business is more than a nuisance. There can be serious implications involved – damage to a building and equipment can be severe and costly which can shut a business down for long periods, threatening its existence and the livelihoods of its employees or tenants. It can also endanger their health.
Natural disasters like floods, fires, earthquakes, and tornadoes are common in certain areas. Regardless of where you live, FEMA advises creating a preparedness plan for your household to protect yourself and your home. While no way of doing things is perfect, there are steps you can take to make your Chicagoland home more resilient to disasters.
Disasters can bring in all sorts of risks to your Chicagoland home, so before you go back inside, know what you might be facing. Please pay attention to these safety guidelines.
"We had a terrific experience with ServiceMaster. Sam and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He was prompt with his initial response, took the time needed to carefully inspect our basement and describe exactly what was needed, and completed the promised work under budget and to perfection. In addition to a job well done, he also seemed to treat his crew very well. He was careful to make certain we knew their names before he departed, and the entire team was professional and communicative any time we had questions. Highly recommended."

"ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons could not have been a better partner in getting through a recent rain water infiltration episode at my lakefront high-rise rental condo. These guys were prompt, professional and productive from the moment I called frantically looking for help right through final pick-up of their moisture mitigating equipment the next week. All the while, their excellent customer service approach kept me informed + updated (aka: "calm") about the processes being utilized to dry the unit out, remove the damaged flooring materials, etc. and help ward off secondary loss. Obviously, I hope to never experience another disaster like this, but, if I do, I know having ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons as a resource will help me endure and emerge with my property protected and my sanity intact."
