One of the most important factors in mitigating the severity of water damage is timing.
The longer water and moisture remain in your property, the more damage it causes. Not only can
mold begin to grow just 24 hours after an incident, but water can spread and can increase the
area of damage. Moisture will spread through drywall and insulation, carpets will soak up water,
and wood, and even sturdier materials can begin to warp. Moreover, bacteria in the water can
begin to multiply and become a health hazard. Any delays will cause the cost to increase and
your property to need more repairs.
Thankfully, SERVPRO is here to help. We provide a 24/7 emergency service, and we can
be on the job as soon as possible. We also have equipment ready to be deployed for immediate
use, so you can rest assured that we’ll be able to minimize damage and get working on restoring
the damage area ASAP.

remediation, give us a call at SERVPRO of Northbrook / Wheeling / Glencoe, (847) 498-8889.
