First: keep clear of wet outlets, close the main shutoff for a pipe leak, and photograph the damage before you move it. The full list is on our water damage page.

Where water showed up in Hanover Park this year

Hanover Park’s water this year came on June 24 and July 4, when public reports of street flooding came in around town and a foot of water stood on a street just north in Bartlett.

On July 4, at 3:51 PM CDT, the National Weather Service logged a flash flood report about 1 mile south-southeast of Bartlett.

Most Hanover Park homes were built before 1990, and about half are single-family detached. In townhomes and older split-levels, water often reaches the lowest finished room first.

Drying out a Hanover Park home, step by step

Our Hanover Park work follows one path: trace the water, remove what can’t be properly dried, dry the structure and prove it with readings, then leave it ready for repairs. Every reading and photo goes into your file. See how the process works.

According to the EPA, water-damaged areas should be dried within 24–48 hours to prevent mold; our moisture readings track that. (Source: EPA) More in drying and moisture readings.
