Frequently Asked Questions About Chicago Water Mitigation
Why did my basement flood during the rain?
Basement flooding during heavy rain is often due to a failed sump pump, power outage, or overwhelmed municipal storm drains. These events cause extreme hydrostatic pressure, forcing water through foundation cracks and window wells directly into your home.
Can you save my finished basement?
Yes, we strive to save as much of your finished basement as possible. Quick extraction and professional drying using LGR dehumidifiers and axial air movers are key to saving drywall, framing, and preventing toxic mold growth.
