Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to water damage in Chicago?
We provide 24/7 emergency water damage restoration services and can respond quickly to properties throughout the Chicagoland area to begin mitigation and prevent further damage.
What should I do immediately after water damage occurs?
If it is safe, turn off the water source and electricity in affected areas. Then contact a professional water damage restoration company right away to begin cleanup and drying before damage worsens.
Can water damage lead to mold growth?
Yes, mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours if moisture is not properly removed. That’s why immediate drying and dehumidification are critical after any water damage event. In some cases, professional mold removal may be necessary to fully address the issue.
Do you work with insurance companies for water damage claims?
Yes, we regularly work with insurance providers and can help guide you through the claims process to ensure your restoration project is handled efficiently.
Do I need professional water damage restoration or can I handle it myself?
Minor spills may be manageable, but most water damage situations require professional equipment and expertise to fully remove moisture and prevent long-term structural or mold issues.
How long does your drying process usually take?
The amount of time it takes to complete a water restoration project depends on the extent of the water damage, what materials might be wet, the length of time they have been wet, and how much the building materials can absorb.
How do you determine what is wet?
We use a variety of tools and instruments designed to detect the moisture content of building materials. One such tool is a thermal imaging camera which helps us find trapped pockets of moisture within the building structure. Penetrating meters are also used to find moisture that has passed below the surface material. Most structural materials (wood, plaster, sheetrock, etc.) will hold excess moisture but will not show visible signs. If these materials are left to “slow dry”, this can produce odors and can rapidly start to grow mold. Our goal is to bring the moisture levels down to a normal pre-loss condition.
Your crews mentioned using dehumidifiers to avoid “secondary damage”. What exactly does that mean?
Secondary damage would be considered the moisture damage to all surfaces that didn’t get wet, but as a result of exposure to high humidity, they might receive swelling, cupping, buckling, rusting, or mold damage. Prolonged exposure to this high moisture or elevated humidity situation will lead to environmental problems of a much higher cost if left in that condition.
I got an estimate for $1,200.00 for drying out my basement, but the carpet new was only $1,000.00. Wouldn’t it be better to replace my carpet again?
There is no doubt that restoring a finished basement from water damage can be an expensive proposition. If you look at what is at stake, restoring your structure compared to replacing it or doing nothing at all can seem like a much more reasonable way to protect your investment. Depending on the amount of moisture involved, what is at risk goes beyond the carpet and pad, as moisture will begin to wick up into the base trim and sheetrock. Your list of replacement items will continue to grow beyond just carpet and pad as the structure remains wet.
