Our 7-Step Restoration Process for Palatine Residents
We understand that water damage can be overwhelming, but our expert team is here to guide you through every step of the restoration process. Here is how we do it:
IMMEDIATE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Our technicians arrive promptly, equipped and ready to assess the extent of water damage to your property, furnishings, and belongings. We also identify any structural issues to ensure safety during the process.
CONSULTATION AND ACTION PLAN
Next, we develop a detailed action plan for water damage mitigation and remediation. Our team explains the steps involved, so you know exactly what to expect, including a timeline for completion.
WATER DAMAGE MITIGATION
We begin by removing standing water with advanced extraction systems to prevent further damage. Our technicians also handle Category 3 water remediation (sewage and black water) to ensure safe removal of hazardous waste. We remove damaged materials like soaked drywall and flooring, preparing the site for restoration.
DEBRIS HAUL OFF AND DISPOSAL
Throughout the mitigation process, we continually remove and haul away debris, including ruined carpets, drywall, and ceiling materials, following local disposal regulations.
ADVANCED DRYING TECHNIQUES
Using industrial-grade equipment, such as air movers, dehumidifiers, and specialized floor drying systems, we thoroughly dry your property to prevent mold and structural damage.
WATER DAMAGE REMEDIATION AND SANITIZATION
We sanitize and deodorize all affected areas, ensuring safe and clean surfaces. Our team focuses on restoring any necessary structural elements and addressing any contamination from black water with industry-approved techniques.
COMPLETE PROPERTY RESTORATION
In the final step, we rebuild walls, replace floors, and repair ceilings. Salvageable contents like furniture are cleaned and restored. Once you give your final approval, your home or business is fully restored, and we consider the job done.

FAQs
How much does flood damage cleanup cost in Palatine?
The cost of flood damage cleanup in Palatine averages between $3,000 and $8,000. Serious structural damage, Category 3 water contamination and extensive damage to contents can add to the final cost.
Can I count on homeowners insurance to cover all types of water damage?
Your homeowners insurance policy usually covers water damage caused by plumbing breakdowns. It doesn’t provide coverage for water damage resulting from a natural weather event. Storm flood coverage is available through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Does a flooded home or business always need professional cleanup?
Yes. Professional flood cleanup addresses critical issues such as unstable structural materials, compromised indoor air quality and serious sanitation issues. The work is usually too hazardous for most property owners.
What should I expect to pay for water damage cleanup in Palatine?
The average cost of water damage cleanup in Palatine can run between $1,300 and $5,700. This includes remediation and restoration. Our teams present you with an accurate estimate based on our initial water damage inspection.
Are there situations that increase the cost of professional water damage cleanup?
Yes. Category 3 water contamination, serious structural issues and widespread damages can add to final cleanup costs. An extended amount of time between the onset of the water emergency and cleanup work can also affect the cost.
What are the most common causes of property water damage in Palatine?
Plumbing problems are the most common causes of water damage in Palatine. Frozen burst pipes, plumbing system leaks and clogged drains are a few examples. Storm flooding is another common source of water damage.
