WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
HELPFUL WATER DAMAGE RESOURCES FOR GOLD COAST RESIDENTS
Illinois Severe Weather Preparedness Guide
Illinois Department of Insurance
Water damage restoration in Gold Coast costs between $3,000 and $8,000. An estimate is usually determined by the total square footage of water-damaged areas in a property.
The final cost can be higher than average if: damage is the result of Category 3 water; materials were exposed to water for more than 24 hours; structural damage is extensive; and contents and belongings are heavily water-damaged.
If you can do so safely, turn off the electricity coming into the water-damaged areas. Document the damage to interiors and belongings with photos and videos. Don’t throw away items that can’t be saved until after the adjuster’s inspection.
The short answer is yes. As long as the damage wasn’t the result of neglect or faulty installation, you should be covered. However, homeowners insurance doesn’t cover natural flooding. Check with your agent, and ask about purchasing protection through the National Flood Insurance Program.
