Plumbing Services Called Needing Water Damage Restoration
We responded to an urgent call from a customer whose home had significant water damage originating from a plumbing failure. Because the customer needed their basement fully restored before a business trip, our team began the inspection process to determine the cause and begin the restoration process.
Failed Water Heater Causes Damage to Hermosa Chicago Basement
Upon arrival, we learned that the cause of the water damage was from a failed water heater tank. The leak had caused water to seep into the hardwood floors and bathroom walls in the basement. What starts as a small leak can quickly lead to bigger problems, so it’s essential to address it quickly to prevent health risks like mold growth.
The customer was very panicked, as he had to leave the next day for a business trip. We assured him that his property was in good hands and we would make sure the basement was completely dry and safe to use when he returned.

Once we had approval to start working, our team set up high-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers to start the drying process. Within four days, his basement was completely dried, and we did not have to remove any of the flooring!
Our customer arrived home from his trip extremely thankful and happy to see that the basement had been fully dried and that no major flooring repairs had to be made.
