Massive Leak Causes Extensive Water Damage to Bucktown Chicago Home
Water damage resulting from plumbing leaks can be significantly disruptive. That’s why, when we received a call from Rescue Plumbing, our sister company, about a water damage incident in the Bucktown neighborhood our specialized technicians were quick to address the problem!
A Category 2 source leak refers to a type of water damage that can occur due to a malfunction or failure in the plumbing system. Such instances can be categorized as “gray water” leaks where the water involved may contain some level of contaminants. This calls for quick and professional intervention to restore your home!
