Delayed Actions Leads to Water Damage
We were called to a Glenview home where the homeowners were dealing with significant property damage. Three months prior, a plumbing company had identified a serious issue that required immediate water damage restoration, but the homeowners had decided not to take action at the time. This delay, unfortunately, led to extensive damage, and our professional team was called in to begin the cleanup and restoration process.
Category 3 Water Damage Requires Expert Cleaning Services
We discovered the basement had a Category 3 water damage loss, requiring the removal of affected areas. Category 3 water damage, also known as “black water,” is a significant health concern. This unsanitary water can lead to mold growth, resulting in major health issues. It’s not just about looks or property value, it’s about protecting your health.

Immediate Water Damage Restoration Process in Basement
We set up containment and strategically placed air movers around the water-damaged areas. Our IICRC certified professionals began to remove water by removing baseboards and making flood cuts to start the drying process.
In the midst of the restoration, our team discovered additional damage in the foundation, which we promptly notified the homeowners. Thanks to our hard work and efficient use of industry-grade, we successfully restored the entire affected area to its pre-loss condition in only five days.
When you have a water emergency, from burst pipes to major floods, Rescue Plumbing is available 24 hours a day. Call us at 773-799-8848!
