Frequently Asked Questions — Water Damage Restoration in Chicago, IL
How much does water damage restoration cost?
Water damage restoration typically costs $1,500—$8,000 for a mid-range job (e.g., burst pipe in one room). Severe flooding or sewage backup can run $15,000—$40,000+. Costs depend on water category (clean vs. gray vs. black water), square footage, and affected materials.
What are the 3 categories of water damage?
Category 1 is clean water (broken supply lines, rain). Category 2 is gray water with mild contamination (washing machine overflow, dishwasher). Category 3 is black water with serious contamination (sewage, floodwater) — requires full PPE and is the most expensive to remediate.
How quickly does mold grow after water damage?
Mold can begin growing within 24—48 hours in wet, warm conditions. That's why professional drying and dehumidification within the first 24 hours is critical. Drying equipment typically runs for 3—5 days minimum.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover water damage?
Sudden, accidental water damage (burst pipe, appliance failure) is typically covered. Gradual leaks from neglect are usually not. Flooding from external sources requires a separate flood insurance policy (NFIP). Document the damage with photos before any cleanup begins.
What is the water damage restoration process?
The standard process is: (1) Inspection and moisture mapping with thermal imaging, (2) Water extraction with truck-mount vacuums, (3) Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers (3—5 days), (4) Antimicrobial treatment, (5) Monitoring to confirm dry standard, (6) Rebuild/repairs.
