Residential Flooding - Schiller Park, Illinois 60176

Floods can collect anywhere in your property. Even so, it is a most difficult issue to handle when it gathers in one's basement.

Basements store everything from power tools, old home furniture and belongings, and even paint and other chemical-based substances. All these may mix in the flood water, creating more unsafe compounds. For this reason it is always essential for us to go in to floodwater using the proper gear. Waterproof and impenetrable gloves and footwear are of utmost importance. Long-sleeved clothes and trousers are also a must. Additionally, when going into a flooded cellar, because of the presence of electrical cables and outlets, we always turn off the power supply inside the whole structure to prevent electrocution.

In draining floodwater, we will be sure that the pump you are working with runs on a rechargeable power source, or from a power supply outside of the property or structure you are in. Perma-Seal will be certain to drain the water slowly, about a foot every eight to twelve hours to allow the walls and other fittings to dry up and regain their sturdiness.
