Storm drain backup in Kenilworth,IL

A summer storm in Kenilworth caused a sewage/storm drain backup, and put several inches of water and muck throughout the entire basement. SERVPRO of Winnetka/Wilmette/Skokie was dispatched to the scene by the homeowners insurance company, and we arrived within the hour. As the homeowners had been away on vacation during the storm, the water had receded by the time our team had arrived. What remained was a layer of sewage silt, and a rather unpleasant odor. SERVPRO WWS immediately set about cleaning and disinfecting the entire basement using hot water extraction and sterilization. Within two hours of our arrival there was no trace of any sewage silt, and we began the drying and demolition process.

If you have any type of drain backup, sump pump failure, foundation leak, or any other form of water intrusion, call the IICRC certified firm SERVPRO WWS at 847-600-0102.
