Damage Restoration Mount Prospect IL | United Restoration & Construction

Even a small sink leak can cause significant damage if not caught early. Look for soft or discolored spots under the sink, a musty odor nearby, or peeling paint and warping on cabinet panels below. You may also notice the floor feeling slightly spongy or see water stains spreading on the wall or floor. If you suspect hidden moisture, it’s best to call United Restoration & Construction quickly—left untreated, this can lead to mold and structural rot.

First, ensure it’s safe to enter the area—turn off power to the basement if water has reached electrical outlets. Stop the water source if possible (e.g., shut off the main valve if it’s a burst pipe). Remove any valuables, furniture, and rugs from the affected area. Then, call United Restoration & Construction for emergency water extraction and drying. Our crew will use industrial pumps and dehumidifiers to prevent further damage to your floors, walls, and foundation. Prompt action is critical after a sump pump failure to avoid mold growth.

We start with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the water damage, including checking for hidden moisture in walls and subfloors. Next, we extract all standing water using truck-mounted pumps. The drying phase involves high-volume air movers and dehumidifiers, which we monitor daily with moisture meters to ensure everything dries completely. Once the area is dry, our general contracting team handles repairs—such as replacing damaged drywall, flooring, or cabinets, and repainting. We also help coordinate water heater replacement if needed. Throughout the process, we work directly with your insurance provider to simplify the claim.
