Summer Showers
Sam Simon
July 3, 2013Summer is synonymous with baseball, grilling out, greenery, flowers and warm rain showers. But there is a down side to summer showers known as the summer storm season. Summer rains can lead to water damage in Chicago area homes and businesses and thousands of dollars in residential and commercial property damage each year.
When dealing with water damage, whether it’s wet carpets or a full on flooded basement, it is important to get the water out and the surfaces dry as soon as possible. The longer the wet and damp are allowed to remain the more damage can occur to carpets, walls and furnishings. Additionally the wet area can become an ideal environment for mold and bacteria growth.
