Repairs Can Involve Several Common Actions for Damaged Bloomingdale Businesses 

Making damages "Like it never even happened" often requires more than restoration and cleanup when severe water damage occurs. Our general contractor license helps provide a full-service recovery of your property. 

Flood Cuts to Protect Wall Assemblies 

Standing water can create one of the larger needs for water damage repair in Bloomingdale restaurants. With drywall-covered wall systems, flood cuts can be a critical first step in protecting more of this building assembly from wicking moisture damage.

Partial Floor Removal 

Our professionals can determine where water penetration has compromised common flooring for restaurants. Repairs include:

• Carpeting – As a hygroscopic material, carpeting and padding underneath can be overwhelmed. This flooring must be removed to protect the underlying subflooring in many situations.

• Wood Floors – Wood flooring can become damaged through absorption, and without quick water removal, planks can warp and distort - requiring partial removal. 

• Tilework – Tiles are non-porous, but water can still penetrate in grouted joints and wherever cracks or separations exist, allowing water to rest beneath the units and pop them loose without appropriate drying.

Removing and Replacing Installed Fixtures

One way our professionals can help is to replace damaged fixtures or portions of plumbing. Impairment to water lines can introduce as little as a few gallons to as much as hundreds of gallons per minute, so the nature of the damage plays a role in the type of repair that will be necessary for the fixture or the property. 

It is often expected to require repairs and reconstruction after widespread and threatening water damage. There are many possible catalysts to severely damaging events between water service lines, sprinkler systems, and other fixtures throughout restaurants.
