Our Water Damage Restoration Company in Chicago IL
We got a call from a worried customer who told us about water damage and black mold in this unit. They said they saw water leaking from the ceiling, which caused black mold to grow in different places.
They emphasized the urgent need to address the issue, not only to prevent further damage but to ensure a safe and secure living environment.
Leak from Water Heater Requires Emergency Services
Our team conducted a thorough inspection, earning the trust of the owner and the tenant after claiming a complete unit redo was necessary. It was discovered the leak was initially classified as a Category 1 loss, but due to prolonged exposure, it escalated to a Category 3 loss. The upstairs unit’s water heater malfunctioned, causing extensive flooding in the garden unit.
Addressing this Category 3 loss became our team’s top priority due to the potential health risks posed by “black water,” which can lead to severe illness or even death. Rest assured, our water restoration company took action to resolve this matter!
