Aurora, Illinois


None of ever want to have to deal with flooding in our home or business. It can be stressful, costly, and honestly a big headache. Unfortunately, most of us at one time or another are going to have to deal with some type of flooding and knowing what to do and who to call can make the ordeal a little easier to deal with.

Water extraction is the first step to getting your home back to normal, beginning this process as soon as possible can greatly reduce water damage to the home or business. Water extraction needs to begin within forty-eight hours of flooding, for every minute water is covering your floors it is doing some type of damage, after forty-eight hours is when mold will normally begin to appear and the situation has gotten worse. Water can be removed using sump pumps or gasoline powered pumps, if using a gasoline powered pump or generator do not use it inside the home, these pumps can remove water quickly. Use towels, squeegees, and wet-vac to remove any remaining water. In cases when the water was a foot deep or more, it is a good idea to remove your baseboards and drill holes in the drywall to extract any water trapped behind the walls.

You may not know where to get a sump pump or may not have the knowledge to use that type of equipment, if you are not sure of what to do or how to do it, do not waste the time trying to figure it out. A water removal company in Aurora will have all the necessary equipment ready to go at any moment, and the expertise to get the job done right the first time.
