SERVPRO responded to a Severe Weather Event in Louisiana.

Look no further than the local professionals at SERVPRO of Hyde Park / E. Bridgeport / Bronzeville for the highest quality emergency services and water damage repairs

Sometimes the help you need is right in your own backyard, and that applies even in the densely populated Chicago Loop. Seeking out high-quality water damage remediation for the buildings of the Windy City skyline need not require imported technicians or high-profile out-of-town companies. The destruction occasioned by basement flooding and leaking roofs from year-round storm activity cannot wait, making a competent and comprehensive local response essential. 

Does SERVPRO of Hyde Park / E. Bridgeport / Bronzeville Rank Highly for Commercial and Residential Water Damage Repairs in the Heart of Chicago? 

One of a select group of Official Downtown Licensed Operators, our SERVPRO earned this designation through investment in a trained and experienced team, an impressive inventory of state-of-the-art equipment, and a work ethic like no other. We dispatch both crews and needed hardware resources fast, using an extensive fleet of service and support vehicles to streamline the work at any site. Stressed and overwhelmed customers dealing with disaster soon relax, seeing the spoken assurances made during initial contact becoming a reality, our people expediting water cleanup and damage mitigation and remediation in Chicago.

What Was the Role of SERVPRO During the February Ice Storms and Plunging Temperatures at Fort Polk, Louisiana?

SERVPRO of Hyde Park / E. Bridgeport / Bronzeville sent a generous contingent of professionally prepared water clean up crews along with equipment and other resources to southwest-central Louisiana in February 2021. That region suffered from a bout of devastating winter weather more commonly seen in Chicago, including:

• Sub-freezing temperatures
• Icy precipitation
• Winds and power outages

Our crews were familiar with solutions for ice-storm consequences, even those that seemed insurmountable to local responders. We eagerly and professionally took on the challenge: 

• Tracing water migration routes linked to leaking roofs from the storm
• Opening wet building cavities using precise and controlled demolition, including drywall cuts
• Removing soaked materials such as insulation
• Extracting water and dried out structures so displaced military families could return home quickly

How Does SERVPRO’s Fort Polk Experience Translate to Better Outcomes for Downtown Chicago Property Owners?

Fort Polk military housing, managed by Corvias for both service members and their families, was extremely vulnerable to the unanticipated effects of the weather system. In subcontracting to our SERVPRO family some of the post-disaster emergency services, Corvias leveraged our knowledge of the catastrophic damage frozen water and thawing cycles can inflict on the base homes. Practice makes our technicians proficient, and the Fort Polk project drove that home. Our team gained personal and team confidence during the job and returned with that renewed energy and advancement in water damage mitigation and remediation skills to benefit members of our Chicago community.
