Rainbow International Chicago-Area Flood Response

When water damage occurs, it is important that you locate a company that is well-trained and has the necessary restoration equipment to completely dry your home as quickly as possible. Water damage is progressive and items that could be restored or dealt with within the first 48 hours of initial damage may not be restored if emergency response is delayed.

Also please remember that sometimes after disasters of this magnitude, scam artists can descend on an area, preying on beleaguered home and business owners. To help protect yourself, follow these tips from the Better Business Bureau: always get a written contract, pay by credit card or check (not cash), ask for proof of licensing and get more than one quote for the job. All Rainbow International water damage restoration specialists will wear approved uniforms, prominently display an identification badge and are accredited by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Rainbow International service professionals will work quickly to stop the progression of water damage and restore your home and contents back to pre-flood condition using cleaning systems and equipment that help eliminate costly replacement of restorable items.

Rainbow International also specializes in mold remediation and carpet, upholstery, drapery and hard surface (tile and grout) cleaning services.
