Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning up after a water damage can be pretty extensive.  During this process, much of the structure and contents may need to be cleaned and sanitized.  This process is something that SERVPRO of Northbrook/Wheeling/Glencoe takes seriously.  Along with the many products that we use from SERVPRO corporate, we also utilize many botanical disinfectants.  These products are all natural, and are great for those with chemical sensitivities.  We understand that you want the best for your home and those who live in it, which is why we always try to find the latest and greatest when it comes to cleaning.
