This is a picture of a bathroom in a basement that was flooded in Madison Wisconsin.  In the picture, you can see just how high the water traveled.  When flood waters enter your home or business, it also carries whatever was outside!  When you have water in your basement, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe to come help you out!

After a fire occurred in the unit above this one, firefighters put the fire out using water and flooded the unit from above.  Once the water sits for a few days with no access to dehumidification and airflow, this is the result.  Unfortunately, we had to remove the cabinets to get access to the mold.  When it was all said and done, it was "like it never even happened".

This was the scene of a fire that occurred in a second floor bedroom.  Please be careful lighting candles in your home, because they can become a problem very quickly!  We were tasked with cleaning, sanitizing, and removing the odor from this room.  Below this, water had traveled down in the first floor bedroom and caused extensive damage.  When you have a fire, call the professionals here at SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe at (847)498-8889!

Some of the worst water damages can happen in commercial buildings.  When a pipe burst in this commercial building, crews had to react quickly to clean the mess up.  The drywall seen in this picture had fallen on its own and crews had to remove more after.  Once the drywall was removed, crews had to extract the water from the carpet and set up drying equipment.

Mold can thrive in attics!  Especially when the attic is not up to code.  If you notice that your vents are not venting outside, fix it as soon as possible!  The moist air from these vents will pump into the attic, causing favorable conditions for mold to develop.
