Structural Damage

When a big storm hits, the first place in a home to take damage is often the roof. Roofs are flat, brittle surfaces with relatively little avenues for a homeowner to prevent damage. In many cases, whether or not a roof will be damaged in a storm simply comes down to the construction quality of it. 

Water Loss West Chicago City

It can be deceptive to how much damage water really does. It will penetrate into structural cavities, making pockets of trapped saturation. Finding water in these areas can many times only be discovered with moisture meters. Moisture which goes undetected will keep causing damage, and this damage at a minimum will result in unpleasant odors

More Common Than You Think..

It is not uncommon to discover mold in homes in the Streamwood/ Bartlett area.  Mold tends to grow in damp or humid spots with poor air circulation such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, or attics and basements.  

Is it Mold?

Sometimes a black, brown, grey, or white spot isn’t actually mold. Efflorescence, for instance, is a whitish deposit, especially on concrete or rocks. That happens when water permeates the material and leaves behind a deposit of salts. Note, however, that in this case there is water permeation, which may mean there is mold growing where you don’t see it.

Fire Loss

When there's been a localized fire, you should have a professional assess the damages for you. This can often help with insurance documentation. Landlords, if you are renting, would also appreciate if you inform them of the fire, and they can see the damage for themselves.
