Water damage to Nursing home in Morton Grove

When a pipe bursts in a large nursing home, you need to act quickly.  Water will always take the path of least resistance and spread throughout the building.  The night the incident occurred, our crews were ready to go and got to the site immediately.  The pipe had burst on the fourth floor, causing water to travel both horizontally and downward into other units.  The first thing the crews are responsible for is to extract as much water as they possibly could to avoid it from traveling further.  Once the bulk of the water has been removed, they need to assess the damages and set up drying equipment to stabilize the environment.  While working with the property manager, our staff pinpointed everywhere that the water had traveled by using infrared cameras to identify the wet spots very easily.  We use the latest technology to work efficiently, and quickly.  If you ever need assistance, give the pros at SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe a call day or night at (847)498-8889.
