Our Services
Emergency Water Extraction
The first step in any water damage situation is removing the water as quickly as possible. Our emergency water extraction service is available 24/7 and uses powerful pumps and vacuums to eliminate standing water from your property. Whether you're dealing with a burst pipe, flooded basement, or storm damage, our team acts fast to prevent further damage and reduce drying time.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Once the water has been removed, moisture can still hide behind walls, under floors, and inside building materials. We use high-powered air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, and specialized moisture meters to locate and eliminate all residual dampness. This step is essential to prevent mold, rot, and lasting structural issues.
Mold Remediation
Moisture creates the perfect environment for mold to grow, often within just 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. If mold is found, our specialists contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials, and treat the space with safe and effective antimicrobial solutions. We focus on thorough removal and prevention so your property stays healthy long after the cleanup is done.
Water Damage Cleanup & Restoration
After the water is gone and everything is dry, we handle the rest. From cleaning and sanitizing affected areas to repairing damaged walls, flooring, or cabinetry, we restore your space from top to bottom. Our goal is to return your home or business to its original condition—or better—quickly and with as little disruption as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should start water damage restoration immediately—ideally within the first 24 hours. Water can seep quickly into walls, flooring, insulation, and even the structural frame of your home or business. If left untreated, this moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, or even foundation problems. At Water Damage Restoration Chicago, our team is available 24/7 for emergency water extraction, and we prioritize rapid response times to reduce further damage. Fast action is key to saving both your property and your peace of mind. Don’t wait—every hour counts.
Our comprehensive water damage restoration services in Chicago are designed to restore your property from the ground up. The process begins with an on-site inspection where we assess the extent of the damage and identify affected areas using moisture detection tools. From there, we immediately begin emergency water removal using high-powered pumps and vacuums. Once standing water is gone, we use industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers for structural drying and dehumidification to eliminate hidden moisture. We also clean and sanitize impacted areas to prevent microbial growth and odors. If materials like drywall or flooring are damaged, we handle complete restoration, including mold remediation if necessary. Our goal is to make your space clean, safe, and livable again.
In many situations, yes. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as from burst pipes, appliance failures, or toilet overflows. However, flooding from outside sources (like heavy rains or sewer backups) often requires separate flood insurance. Navigating the claims process can be confusing, but we’re here to help. Water Damage Restoration Chicago works directly with your insurer to provide detailed documentation, before-and-after photos, and moisture readings. We also communicate directly with adjusters to make sure nothing is overlooked. We’ve helped countless homeowners throughout Chicago get the coverage they deserve—and we’re happy to walk you through the process from start to finish.
Water damage doesn’t always announce itself with puddles or stains. Hidden moisture can build up behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings without any visible signs—until it’s too late. If you notice musty smells, discoloration, warped materials, or health symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or headaches, you could have a moisture issue or hidden mold growth. At Water Damage Restoration Chicago, we use advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras and hygrometers to detect moisture where you can’t see it. If mold is discovered, our certified team provides full mold remediation services including containment, removal, and air purification. Left untreated, mold can spread quickly and impact both your property and your health, so early detection is vital.
It depends on the severity of the damage and the areas affected. For minor water damage confined to a small space, you can typically remain in your home with minimal disruption. However, for larger flood cleanup jobs—especially those involving structural drying or mold remediation—we may recommend temporary relocation for your safety and comfort. Our team at Water Damage Restoration Chicago will always give you a clear timeline and explain what work is being done. We’ll set up containment barriers to keep unaffected areas livable when possible, and we work efficiently to reduce downtime. Your comfort and safety come first, and we’re always transparent about what to expect.
