water damage flooded basement

Water damage, both from natural disaster or a broken pipe, can completely blindside you and cause major damage to your property. When the unexpected happens you can rely on Green Construction Holmes Builder to return your home or business to the way it was before.
Once the water is removed then the real work begins. Wet baseboards and door casings will have to be removed as the water will have saturated them with moisture. Holes will have to be bored into walls and ceiling cavities to begin the drying process, and wet or contaminated insulation will have to be removed. Dehumidifiers and air movers are then used to get rid of the excess moisture. This whole process can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on the extent of the damage and how quickly a water damage team was called in to fix the problem.

fire & smoke damage

Fire restoration is one of the most technically difficult forms of restoration because it takes knowledge in a great number of different disciplines: Soot and smoke odor take special care to be removed from fabrics and materials because the soot contains grease which embeds itself into whatever it touches. It takes special machinery and a deep cleansing process to remove properly.
Fire restoration also requires knowledge regarding dealing with flood damage because water was used to quench the flames.
There also needs to be a thorough cleaning of the ventilation system so that hazardous particles are not re circulated.
And of course, you need a fire restoration service that is also a construction company because what cannot be salvaged must be rebuilt.

why should i call for restoration service as soon as possible

The importance of having a quick response lies in what is called “secondary water damage”. Secondary water damage results from the excess moisture in the air which will saturate its surroundings. Drywall will sag or buckle, ceiling tiles will lose their shape, and floors boards will become removed from their base.
But the real issue is the possibility of mold. If your Chicago property is not thoroughly dried then the interior of your walls, ceilings, and floors can become contaminated and produce mold, which will eventually make you any everyone on the premises very sick.
The professional team at Green Construction Holmes Builder can both remove the water and restore your Chicago property as quickly as possible.
