Urban Flooding Leads to Water Intrusion Damage in Downtown Chicago?

We restore flooding damage 24/7 in Downtown Chicago.

Downtown Chicago’s proximity to Lake Michigan and the Chicago River can exacerbate flooding during storms. The area's flat topography can also impede natural drainage, causing water to pool in low-lying areas. SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki is a trusted leader in flood damage mitigation and restoration services. When your property is compromised by flooding, we are Here to Help®.

The extensive development and urbanization of Downtown Chicago has led to an increase in impervious surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and buildings. These surfaces prevent rainwater from infiltrating the ground, causing runoff to accumulate and overwhelm drainage systems during heavy rain events.

When stormwater enters a home or business, it can cause significant damage quickly, so professional intervention is imperative to minimize the chances of secondary damage.

Stormwater runoff in urban areas can carry a variety of pollutants, including bacteria, viruses, chemicals, heavy metals, and other harmful substances. These pollutants can originate from sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial activities, pet waste, pesticides, and litter. Direct contact with contaminated stormwater can lead to illnesses, skin irritations, and infections.
