Chicago, IL -- (SBWire) -- 01/28/2016 --Recent census reports place almost 2 million households in the Chicago metropolitan area with more than 250,000 businesses operating in the vicinity of the city. With Illinois ranking among the nation's top ten states for high flooding risk, local residents stand to lose millions to this most common natural disaster in the United States. Additionally, flooding due to burst pipes, sewage backups and similar issues further drive up possible costs for area property owners.
In light of the mounting flood damage potential from both internal and external sources, spokesperson Matt Hudson from RestorationEze of Chicago has launched the company's newly revamped website. Hudson explained, "We established our company to help homeowners navigate the hardships of water damage by creating a nationwide network of licensed, certified and insured industry professionals. Our new website focuses on providing not only water removal and restoration services, but helpful information for area homeowners on a number of topics pertaining to our field."
Among the features of the new company website is a blog sharing team members' knowledge on various aspects of flooding and water damage. Recent topics of discussion include statistics on the likelihood of water damage, development and spread of slow leaks and common loss scenarios of which homeowners should be aware. These posts point out warning signs of potential issues, ramifications of neglecting home plumbing repairs and detail other relevant matters.
The website also lists links to additional resources, including the local chapter of the International Cleaning and Restoration Association; the Restoration Industry Association; the internationally recognized Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification; and the Federal Emergency Management Association. In-depth explanations of processes used to clean and restore homes and businesses following flooding and fire damage are provided as are pieces clarifying the intricacies of insurance claims. Answers to viewer questions have been incorporated into the newly designed website as well.
Concluded Hudson, "Helping local home and business owners recover from the aftermath of natural flooding, sewage backups, fires, plumbing problems and other situations is our business, and we're always on hand for emergency calls. We feel confident the new features of our redesigned website will assist local residents in understanding what to expect if the worst should happen to them; hopefully, we may even be able to help reduce the number of preventable disasters we often see in our area."
