Our 7-Step Water Damage Restoration Process for Evanston, IL Residents
1. Water Damage Inspection
First, we inspect water-damaged interiors and contents in your Evanston property and assess exactly what needs to be done. Our teams check the structural stability of walls, floors and ceilings. We also determine what contents can and can’t be salvaged.
2. Cleanup Action Plan
Based on our examination, we put together a plan of action. This outline covers the specific procedures we follow to keep your job on track and on schedule.
We’re happy to answer questions and address any concerns you might have about our process.
3. Extraction and Mitigation
Using the latest truck-mounted extraction systems, we quickly remove standing water. Our technicians follow up with industrial-strength vacuums that take care of residual water.
We also identify and mitigate secondary water damages, such as structural problems and mold outbreaks.
4. Tear-Out and Debris Removal
During the mitigation process, we tear out materials that can’t be salvaged. For example, our teams pull up soaked carpeting, pull out ruined drywall and take down damaged ceiling materials.
As we work, we clean up, haul off and dispose of all debris, following the City of Chicago’s demolition regulations.
5. Highly Effective Structural Drying
Water damage quickly seeps into wall framing, subflooring, joists and support beams. We stop the spread of moisture through wood structures with heavy-duty drying equipment that runs 24/7.
This step is accomplished with desiccant dehumidifiers, axial fans, centrifugal air movers and floor drying systems.
6. Property-Wide Remediation
Water damage remediation is a type of deep cleaning applied to interior surfaces. Our teams scrub, sanitize and deodorize all areas. We also take care of any final structural issues, and we address fungal growth with industry-certified mold removal techniques.
7. Final Water Damage Restoration
With this last step, we rebuild torn-out drywall, floors and ceilings. Door frames, window casings, baseboards and trim are replaced as needed. All water-damaged materials and salvageable contents in your home or business are restored to their pre-loss condition.
Finally, we ask you to take a close look at the affected areas and inspect our restoration work. We don’t consider the job finished until you’re completely satisfied with every detail.

Winter Flooding Hazards in Evanston
In general, Evanston water damage restoration costs range between $3000 and $8000. Extensive structural damage and reconstruction can add to the cost.
Sewage backup contamination, Category 3 floodwater or delayed cleanup can affect cost. All three factors increase the negative impact of water damage.
Water damage usually results from faulty plumbing, leaky pipes and sump pump failure. Pipes often freeze and burst during our cold Evanston winters.
Most homeowners and business property insurance policies cover water damages caused by plumbing failures, such as frozen burst pipes or leaking supply lines. Ask your insurance agent for details about your policy.
Policies don’t usually cover the cost of plumbing repairs, and they don’t cover losses due to natural flood events. Coverage for damage from floodwaters can be purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program.
