April Storm Damage to a Home in Ravenswood Manor, Chicago, IL

This home in the Ravenswood Manor Neighborhood in Chicago, IL was affected by sewage back up from an April storm.  The city sewer lines just couldn’t keep up with all the rain and a lot of home were affected that spring.  The area that was affected was the finished basement.  With most of the basement carpeted, all the carpeting and padding had to be removed.  Before SERVPRO could remove the carpeting and padding, they had to extract all the water from the carpet and pad.  Finally when most of the water was out, the carpet and pad was cut up into sections, rolled up and put into bags for disposal.  The baseboard had to be removed and the walls had to be flood cut since the sewage water wicked up.  Equipment was set up and the sill plates, two-by-fours, and concrete dried.
