About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Prospect Heights, IL

Across Illinois, America Water Damage works as a referral network for water damage restoration. We are not a restoration contractor and we run no crews. Our part is to listen to what happened, then connect the property owner with an independent local contractor who handles that kind of loss. NOAA's state climate summary says Illinois has experienced a dramatic increase in 2-inch extreme precipitation events, which can cause severe flooding. In April 2013 a slow-moving storm system flooded parts of northern and central Illinois, with some areas receiving up to 10 inches of rain. One finding matters for anyone who assumes they are safe: more than 90 percent of urban flooding damage claims from 2007 to 2014 were outside the mapped floodplain. The 1993 Mississippi River flood is described as one of the greatest natural disasters in US history. Risks like these are why acting early matters in Illinois. From Prospect Heights, IL, you can reach us day or night. We do not send our own crews. We connect you with a local contractor, and that contractor assesses the loss, sets the scope and carries out the restoration.

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Prospect Heights, IL

Matching in Illinois starts with two questions: where the property is and what kind of water loss it has. From there we connect the owner with an independent local contractor. America Water Damage does not perform the restoration or supervise it. The Illinois Attorney General states that general contractors are not required by state law to be licensed. Roofers must be licensed by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and plumbers by the Department of Public Health. State law also requires a written contract for repair or remodeling work costing more than $1,000. Ask about any local registration for your city, and insist on that written contract. Before work starts in Prospect Heights, IL, ask the contractor for proof of liability insurance and a written scope. Insurance billing is arranged between you and the contractor, so confirm how they handle claims. We set no prices. The contractor quotes the job.

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Prospect Heights, IL homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Prospect Heights, IL?
It depends on what caused the water and on the wording of your policy, so the only reliable answer comes from your policy documents or your insurer. As a general pattern, sudden and accidental losses such as a burst pipe or a failed appliance hose are treated differently from gradual leaks and seepage. Flood is usually handled under a separate flood policy. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, and a restoration contractor in Prospect Heights, IL cannot either. What you can do right away is photograph the damage and report the loss to your insurer.
What should I do while waiting for a contractor to arrive?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source by closing the main shutoff valve. Stay out of standing water that may be in contact with electrical outlets or appliances, and switch off power to affected areas only if you can reach the panel safely. Photograph and video everything before you move it, because that record is what a claim is built on. Lift furniture and soft furnishings off wet carpet where you can, and move valuables and documents to a dry room.
What are the categories of water damage?
The restoration industry commonly sorts water into three categories by contamination. Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source such as a supply line. Category 2 is water with significant contamination, for example from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water such as sewage or floodwater. The category matters because it changes what can be cleaned and kept and what has to be removed. Clean water can also degrade into a worse category the longer it sits, which is one more reason to act early.
What can be saved and what has to be removed?
It depends mainly on the material and on how contaminated the water was. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and dried. Porous materials such as carpet pad, insulation and drywall are harder to save, and after contact with sewage or floodwater they generally have to be removed. Solid wood and structural framing can often be dried in place if the work starts early. A contractor should tell you what they plan to remove and why before they do it, and you can ask for that in writing.
Do you set the price for the work?
No. We set no prices and play no part in the quote. The contractor you are matched with inspects the property and gives you their own estimate, and many contractors offer free estimates, so confirm that before booking. Because the price comes from the contractor, it is sensible to ask what the estimate includes, how changes to the scope will be handled and how insurance billing would work if you make a claim. If you want a sense of typical figures, published industry sources such as Fixr report national averages, but only an inspection produces a real number for your property.
