We restore water damage 24/7 in Cook County.

Our local Oak Lawn team is a trusted water damage restoration leader in Hickory Hills. When your water heater malfunctions and floods your home, fast action is required to minimize the chances of secondary damage and more costly and time-consuming repairs.

A malfunctioning water heater can cause severe damage to a home, especially when the issue is unresolved. Common problems include leaking tanks, broken pressure relief valves, and rusted pipes, allowing water to escape and flood nearby areas. In extreme cases, a burst water heater can release dozens of gallons of water, damaging floors, walls, and surrounding appliances.

Preventing water heater issues involves routine upkeep, such as draining the tank to clear out sediment accumulation and inspecting the pipes and valves for any signs of leaks. However, if you notice any signs of trouble—such as strange noises, water puddling around the unit, or a lack of hot water-rest assured that a professional inspection can provide a thorough assessment and necessary solutions.

If a water heater malfunction causes damage, you can trust our team of professionals to arrive quickly and immediately begin the mitigation and cleanup phases of the restoration. We use powerful industrial-grade water extraction and drying equipment to quickly remove excess water and thoroughly dry the affected areas, preventing further damage, such as mold growth and structural weakening.
