I dealt with Brittney, who was both very competent and very pleasant to deal with. She also has a very strong work ethic: I emailed her with a follow-up inquiry, not knowing that she had at that point gone on maternity leave. I received a very prompt and courteous reply from Brittney, who was obviously still checking work email while on mat leave, updating me as to her status and providing me with alternate contact information. I was impressed.

Our summer home in Wilmette experienced several burst pipes due to the cold temperatures, regardless of the high heat kept in the home, the cold breeze came in under the doors and froze pipes overnight. I called Servicemaster at the direction of my insurance and they were able to handle the disaster that was left behind after all the pipes leaked. I highly recommended them.

These are the folks to call. Fast, efficient, and professional. They came over quickly, showed me what was needed and gave me an estimate. Fernando was great, a real pro and a nice guy. They left everything spotless and made sure everything was ready for the new dry wall and plastering. They made the whole process seamless. It was a water leak that's now just history.

I was out of town over the weekend and returned to several burst pipes, there was ice on the walls, ceilings and floors. Although I left the heat on 70 and exposed as many pipes to heat as I could, my heater decided to malfunction at some point. I received an alert on my app that the heat was off but I was already flying home and did not expect anything to freeze. This is not what you want to come home to at 8pm at night. The only one that answered the phone and was able to come out that night was servicemaster. We went over the process of water damage remediation, insurance and how to manage the chaos. Servicemaster was also able to get me a heating guy to repair the system and discuss it with my insurance company as they were skeptical that I had any heat, fortunately servicemaster assisted me with the documentation I needed. Thank You Servicemaster by Zaba!!

ServiceMaster Chicago took care of my water damage services, we also needed to pack all of our belongings in order to do the repairs and they packed our stuff for us. The repairs took a while to get on schedule but mainly because our insurance adjuster dragged his feet, I was really happy that servicemaster advocated on our behalf to get everything covered on the repairs, the insurance adjuster didn't want to pay for anything. Our home looks beautiful and the repair process was painless. Also, a big "thank you" to the office staff who accommodated my request for some boxes that I needed to grab from their storage facility in Chicago, it was really easy to work with them.

The worst part about renting are the things your landlords don’t tell you. Little did we know upon move in, but there was a way for water to get into our unit thru the roof, and sure enough after a particularly heavy snow we started noticing water damage in the ceilings, which was a clear indicator of larger problems. Lucky for us (and our property manager), ServiceMaster was able to guide us thru effective mitigation and helped save our new space. Not only were they fast and effective, they were extremely caring and understanding. I could not recommend a company more, especially when you’re in need of work done effectively and expediently. Thank you again, ServiceMaster. All of our belongings would like to thank you as well.

FAQs

What are the most common reasons for water damage in local homes?

Niles is located within both the Des Plaines River and North Branch Chicago River watersheds, and local properties can experience several different types of water problems.

These can include sewer backups, basement seepage, water entering homes around foundations, street or yard flooding, plumbing failures, sump pump problems, and heavy-rain events.

What changes the final cost?

We look at several factors when pricing a restoration project, including:

  • How many rooms or floors the damage affects
  • How much water, smoke, soot, or mold has spread
  • Whether sewage or other contaminated materials are involved
  • Whether we need to remove drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinets, or other materials
  • How much furniture and personal property we need to move or restore
  • Whether moisture, smoke, or mold has reached hidden spaces
  • How much drying, demolition, cleaning, or reconstruction the property requires

After-hours, weekend, and holiday emergency services may include additional charges.

What should I do if I discover water damage in my Niles home?

If it is safe, stop the source of the water first.

Stay out of standing water if electrical outlets, wiring, or appliances may be involved. Take photos for insurance documentation and move valuable belongings away from the wet area when you can do so safely.

Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water.

Call a professional restoration company like ServiceMaster Restoration by Zaba to inspect the area, check behind walls and under flooring, and find hidden moisture before it causes more damage.

Do you work with homeowners insurance?

Yes.

We document the damage and can communicate with your insurance company or adjuster during covered restoration projects.

Actual coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of your policy.

Are you available nights and weekends?

Yes.

Our Niles team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for property-damage emergencies.

Call (773) 647-1985 for immediate help.

Does the age of my Niles home affect restoration work?

Yes. If you own a home in Niles, there’s a good chance it has been standing for several decades. According to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s Niles Housing Profile, 36.9% of Niles housing was built from 1940–1959 and another 38.3% from 1960–1979. The median Niles home was built in 1965.

That matters during restoration because you may have older plumbing, previous renovations, finished basements, or building materials that require more careful removal and drying.

Among the Niles properties we restore, about 62% of the homes were built before 1970.

What kinds of water damage can affect my Niles basement?

If your basement takes on water, the source may come from several places. The Village of Niles maintains 44 miles of combined sewers, 48 miles of sanitary sewer mains, and 94 miles of storm sewer mains. Niles residents most commonly report sewer backups, water entering through doors, windows, or foundations, and flooding in streets and yards.

In the Niles basement projects, we handle:

  • 58% involve finished basements
  • 34% require flooring or carpet removal
  • 27% involve sewage or contaminated water
  • 31% require drywall removal

Does my flood risk change depending on where I live in Niles?

Yes. If you live on the west side of Niles, your property falls within the Des Plaines River watershed, where limited downstream sewer capacity can cause stormwater to back up and collect in streets, yards, and around homes during heavy rain.

If you live on the east side, your property falls within the North Branch Chicago River watershed, where local drainage systems carry stormwater toward the river and the MWRD system.

The Village of Niles has identified different drainage challenges on each side of the village, including areas near Western, Sunset, Bruce, and Carol where stormwater can collect when downstream systems reach capacity.

In our flood-related Niles projects, about 56% have occurred in western parts of the village and 44% in eastern areas.

Will my homeowners insurance cover restoration in Niles?

Your coverage depends on what caused the damage and what your policy includes. A sudden burst pipe may receive different coverage than groundwater seepage, overland flooding, or a sewer backup.

If your loss qualifies for coverage, we can document the affected areas, moisture readings, photos, and scope of work to help support your claim.

About 71% of the Niles restoration projects we handle involve an insurance claim.

What if I have to pay for part of the restoration myself?

If you own a home in Niles, you’re part of a community where 74.6% of occupied housing units are owner-occupied, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Census Bureau also reports a $358,700 median value for owner-occupied housing units in Niles.

Your insurance may not cover every part of a restoration project, so you could still be responsible for a deductible, excluded work, or other out-of-pocket costs. About 24% of our Niles customers ask about financing or payment options, and roughly 32% pay at least part of the project out of pocket.

At ServiceMaster by Zaba, we offer GreenSky financing - or 0% financing for 6 months - for qualifying restoration projects, including water, fire, mold, storm, sewage, and commercial restoration. You can apply online or by phone, receive a decision in minutes in many cases, and choose from flexible payment options. Select plans may also offer no-interest financing if you pay the balance within the promotional term, and GreenSky does not charge prepayment penalties.
