Recent Rainfall

Over the past month, Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe has had an enormous amount of rainfall.  This stress that is put on your home can cause serious issues!  SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe has stepped up to the plate this past month, and helped as many people as we could take on (and then some).  

Some of the issues that we encounter on the road are not always covered by insurance, and many do not realize this.  If you have water coming in from the foundation, you are almost always not covered for this loss in IL.  It is so crucial to act quickly and call a water proofing company to seal the leak, and get SERVPRO out immediately to restore the property, assuring no mold grows in the future.

Another big issue we see with heavy rains, is sump pumps malfunctioning or being overloaded.  Make sure to always check your sump pump during heavy rains!  Also, talk to your insurance agent about assuring that you have coverage for sump pump failure, it could save you a lot of time, money, and hassle in the future!  

If you ever need help with a flooded basement, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe at (847)498-8889 today!
