Sam Simon
July 21, 2015With Chicago’s tourism industry poised to set new records again this year, it’s no time to let water damage dampen the occupancy and revenue rates of your lodging property. Whether you own or manage one of Michigan Avenue’s luxurious high-rise hotels, a comfortable chain motel in the suburbs, or a quaint bed-and-breakfast in a tree-lined neighborhood, ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons is standing by to tackle all of your water damage issues. We are the
water damage restoration
experts that you can count on when your guests are counting on you!
If your property has water damage, whether it’s the result of flash flooding, broken pipes, faulty equipment, or any type of accident, we have the technical expertise, staff, and equipment to take care of it quickly and efficiently. Quite simply, we provide superior service with minimal interruption to your staff, vendors, and guests. We will get the rooms, lounges, restaurants, and other facilities on your property back to their pre-loss condition as quickly as possible.
Why is a rapid response to your water damage so important? Because vacations, conventions, trade shows, meetings, and conferences are usually booked months in advance, and travelers and businesses are counting on you and your hotel or motel to be up and running. If you’re unable to fulfill the reservations made for your property, your revenues will slide and your reputation could suffer. And, if water damage issues aren’t resolved quickly, your property could sustain serious structural damage. Water damage can also affect electrical wiring and other systems vital to the operation of your lodging establishment.
If you own or manage lodging property in the greater Chicago area and you have an unfortunate water damage situation on your hands,
