BASEMENT CLEANING CHICAGO
Finished or unfinished, any basement can be a challenge to maintain and keep clean. Believe it or not, as you might already know, it is much easier to clean a basement that is empty than it is when there is clutter, or furniture that takes up the empty space. In addition to having clean the basement floor spaces, walls, and open areas, when furnished, the items in the basement need attention too, as they collect dust, pollens, microbes, bacteria and even moisture.
Basement cleaning can be a difficult when you have given it much attention and/or time. The "giant storage locker" can become filled with items that you may never ever use. Why not make it a family project? Go down and analyze what you want to keep and what you want to throw out. It may take a little effort but roll up those sleeves, put on a not-so-good pair of jeans and your worst shoes, and dig in. Expect to get dirty! You have been negligent, right?
It is always a matter of wisdom to make sure you take inventory of what goes on in your basement. This becomes especially so when flooding occurs, or you have water damage, or even mold removal is required. These pesky concerns can lead to much heartache and can possibly dig into your pockets if not maintained, or if allowed to overflow.
We can't tell you how many basements we have cleaned over the years and we have seen them all. From hoarding, to clutter, to messiness, to water damage, to mold infested. You name it, we've seen it. It is the foundation of your home. It can assist you in breathing well and sleeping at night, or it can cause asthma, bronchitis, skin irritations and other problems if the basement is not kept clean and orderly.
While the picture above is a worse case scenario, it doesn't mean it can't happen to you. We are receiving record rains. More than ever before. Be ready. Have a game plan in place for your basement. Know what's down there, and know what shouldn't be (i.e. mold, water damage, condensation, unwanted dust, bacteria).
Keep tabs on what is going on in your basement. Should you get water from flooding, rains, backed up sewer, drain backup, leaky pipe or a pipe that bursts from cold, call a professional basement cleaning company to take care of it. The CleanUP Guys has lots of experience doing just that!
