Don’t let an appliance stop your day. Call SERVPRO today.

NO matter the damage we can get you where you need to be.

To make everyday life easier, most people have a number of appliances inside their Concord home. If certain appliances inside your house malfunction there is a chance that they can leak and force you to call in a professional water cleanup company such as SERVPRO. Many of the machines inside your home use water such as your washing machine, dishwasher, and air conditioner. If the water pipes running to them break or if something breaks inside of them, it is possible that they can spill hundreds of gallons into the interior of your building. Once moisture starts to soak into your building materials and contents, it is essential to conduct water cleanup promptly so that no mold growth or other secondary issues occur.

Primary problems take place when objects inside your dwelling like your family’s personal possessions and your structural components come into direct contact with moisture, whereas secondary issues are those created by high humidity levels. If a professional restoration company such as SERVPRO conducts water cleanup inside your Bourbonnais residence quickly, then we can lower your home’s indoor relative humidity levels and prevent secondary damage from happening. To accomplish this task, we first start by figuring out how wet items inside your home got after the appliance malfunctioned. We also determine how far away from the original source the water damage traveled. We do all of this with the help of advanced moisture sensors and hygrometers.

Once our water restoration technicians or WRTs figure out the extent of the damage, we then start the extraction process. During this stage of restoration our WRTs attempt to remove as much moisture as they can while it is still in the liquid form. We can remove this liquid water by implementing high powered extractors that pull moisture out of materials like your carpet and other fabrics.

Once our WRTs have removed all of the liquid H2O that their machines allow, we then come up with an applied structural drying or ASD plan. When implementing ASD we first find out what is wet by taking tests with our moisture sensors in both affected and unaffected areas of your home. Once we know which sections we need to work on, we set up air movers and dehumidifiers in the region to speed up the natural evaporation process.

If you ever have an appliance malfunction and leak water, call SERVPRO of Kankakee County call at (815) 935-0077 24 hours a day.
