About Our Chicago Water Damage Restoration Team

Chicago's Trusted Choice for Water Damage Restoration

ServiceMaster Restoration Services has served Chicago property owners for more than 20 years, handling water emergencies in homes, condos, and commercial spaces alike. Working throughout Cook County, our crews reach Chicago neighborhoods and adjacent communities such as Oak Park, Cicero, and Berwyn quickly when water strikes. Chicago's vast and aging housing stock, from century-old two-flats to converted lofts, often hides original plumbing and below-grade living spaces vulnerable to sewer backups and storm flooding. Our IICRC-aligned technicians grade the water, map hidden moisture, and dry to verified targets with commercial equipment. We sanitize affected materials against mold, work to limit disruption for residents and businesses, and document everything so your insurance claim is fully supported. Throughout the project we keep residents, owners, and insurers updated on progress, so recovery stays clear whether it involves one unit or a whole building.

The Water Damage Restoration Process in Chicago

Every water loss in Chicago is different, but a proven restoration sequence protects your property and your wallet. Here is how our certified ServiceMaster team approaches water damage restoration for Chicago homes and businesses.

Emergency contact & dispatch. Call our 24/7 line and a crew is dispatched fast to limit how far the water spreads.
Inspection & moisture mapping. We grade the water (clean, gray, or black), find hidden moisture behind walls and under floors, and document everything for your insurer.
Water extraction. Truck-mounted and portable extractors remove standing water quickly before it migrates into subfloors and cavities.
Drying & dehumidification. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure to validated moisture targets, not just the surface.
Cleaning & sanitizing. Affected materials are cleaned, deodorized, and antimicrobial-treated to stop mold before it starts.
Restoration & repairs. We rebuild what was removed, from drywall and trim to flooring, returning your property to pre-loss condition.

Cost & Insurance in Chicago, Cook County

Most water damage restoration projects in Chicago run roughly $1,500 to $10,000 or more, driven by the water category (clean, gray, or black), how far it spread, and how long it sat. Homeowners insurance generally covers sudden, accidental losses such as a burst pipe or failed water heater, while gradual leaks and surface flooding are often excluded and may require separate flood coverage. Our team documents the damage thoroughly and works directly with your insurance adjuster to make the claim as smooth as possible.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs — Chicago, IL

How much does water damage restoration cost in Chicago?

In Chicago, most water damage restoration projects fall between about $1,500 and $10,000 or more. The final cost depends on the category of water, the size of the affected area, and how quickly the damage was addressed. We provide a clear assessment and work with your insurer before any major work begins.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Chicago?

Usually yes for sudden and accidental events like a burst pipe, appliance failure, or storm-driven roof leak. Gradual leaks from deferred maintenance and rising floodwater are typically excluded, and flooding often needs a separate flood policy. We document everything and bill insurance directly where possible.

How long does water damage restoration take?

Water extraction is usually completed within the first day, structural drying typically takes three to five days depending on materials and humidity, and any rebuild work is scheduled after the structure is verified dry. We monitor moisture daily so drying is confirmed, not guessed.

Can water damage cause mold?

Yes. Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, which is why fast extraction and professional drying matter. Our process includes antimicrobial treatment to help prevent mold from taking hold after a Chicago water loss.

What should I do immediately after water damage?

Make sure the area is safe, shut off the water source if you can, and avoid using electronics in wet areas. Then call our 24/7 Chicago emergency line so we can begin extraction quickly and limit secondary damage.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency water removal in Chicago?

Yes. We provide round-the-clock emergency water removal across Chicago and the surrounding area, because water damage gets worse and more expensive the longer it sits.

Can you save hardwood floors and drywall after water damage?

Often, if we reach them quickly. Clean-water losses caught early give hardwood and drywall the best chance, while contaminated water or prolonged saturation may require removal. We assess each material and save what can be safely restored.

What Our Customers Say

4.9 out of 5 · based on 60 reviews

Incredible customer service. I had a major leak in my crawl space that leaked into the basement after a major thunderstorm. Adam and his crew were onsite within the hour with their equipment to dry out, disinfect, and restore the basement to prevent mold and water damage. They did an amazing job. Phenomenal customer service, honest and easy to work with. I highly recommend this team for any emergency services needed. 5 star experience.

ServiceMaster was suggested my by insurance agent as a company that “everybody” seems to be happy with. With flooded floors in my elderly mother’s condo. Without all of the details, I can say they are efficient, professional, and effective. They moved all furniture and personal belongings as many times as it took to get dried out and all the finishes restored. Adam at the Lisle, Il location has it all together and made it a simple solution within a huge disaster for an 89 year old. There are barely words for how well it went. I will trust them fully if the cloud of disaster strikes us again.
