Our 7-Step Water Damage Restoration Process for Harwood Heights Residents
1. Water Damage Inspection
Our teams arrive at your Harwood Heights home or business within 90 minutes of your call.
We immediately inspect all water-damaged interiors, furnishings and contents.
Our technicians use thermal-imaging infrared cameras and advanced humidity meters to detect hidden water damage.
2. Action Plan and Consultation
Based on the results of our inspection, we quickly develop a restoration action plan.
We share this with you so that you have an overview of what to expect. Our water damage professionals address your concerns and answer your questions. We want you to be comfortable with the process.
3. Extraction and Mitigation
Our teams begin water removal with powerful truck-mounted extraction systems. We take care of residual water with industrial-grade vacuuming equipment.
Our mitigation techniques contain the water damage and reduce secondary damages, such as mold growth and wood rot.
4. Monitored Structural Drying
Water damage mitigation includes drying out all affected areas. Our technicians expedite this step by setting up floor drying systems, high-volume air movers, aerodynamic axial fans and special dehumidifiers.
We carefully monitor the drying process over the next several days.
5. Damaged Material Tear-Out
During this last phase of mitigation, we tear out materials that can’t be salvaged. For example, soaked drywall, soggy carpets and warped flooring must be removed and hauled off. Our teams strictly follow city regulations for proper disposal of water-damaged materials.
6. Cleanup and Remediation
Next, we clean all affected areas, including walls, ceilings and floors, using industry-approved techniques. Cleaning is followed by a sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing process that refreshes interiors and renews indoor air quality
7. Final Water Damage Restoration
Our teams finish up by replacing torn-out walls, floors and ceilings. Our certified technicians address every detail, from cabinets and countertops to baseboards and trim.
When we’re finished, your home or business is returned to its pre-loss condition: safe, clean and completely restored.

I had some water damage occur in my kitchen; Floors were ruined, drywall was ruined, and cabinets were ruined. I put in a claim with my insurance, and they sent out Carlos and Jerry.I had the best experience with these Carlos and Jerry. They came in and looked lover all the affected area that had water damage. I thought I would be getting an estimate, but they were able to rip up the wet floors and remove the wet walls within the same day.We did run into an issue where Serviced Master found what was presumed to be asbestos tile in the affected areas. I felt like it was the end of the world, because we know all know it's crazy expensive to get that taken care of; But Service Masters work with a 3rd party company - Bluestone Environmental, Inc, who were able to come out and confirm, that it was asbestos. and they were able to set up times and dates, and a time frame of when things could get rolling with the rest of the removal.Carlos and Jerry were so nice, and explained everything that had to happen, down to a "T". They answered all of our questions, let us know what the next steps would be and gave us a heads-up that we would be getting notified about moving our stuff out of the house to that they could work. Carlos and Jerry set up dehumidifiers and fans to dry up all the water (over a span of 4 days). They took away all the destroyed materials, which was lovely, because it wasn't sitting in our driveway. And they sprayed the affected areas with a liquid to prevent mold from growing.Like I said, my boyfriend and I loved the experience we had with them, and we would call upon this team, heaven forbid, we ever needed a water mitigation team again.

This is the second time I've used ServiceMaster. I needed the walls and ceiling in my kitchen to be removed due to a water leak from the unit above me. They were super cautious of my furniture and covered everything with plastic. I hired them to do my reconstruction as well and am extremely happy with my new cabinets!
How much does water damage restoration cost in Harwood Heights?
The average cost of water damage restoration in Harwood Heights ranges from $3,000 to $8,000. An estimate is typically based on the total square footage of areas impacted by the water damage.
What can increase the cost of water damage restoration?
Multiple factors that can increase the average cost include: Category 3 water cleanup; extensive structural damage; water damage not addressed for 24 hours or longer; and heavily damaged furnishings and contents.
What should I do immediately after water damages my property?
Always put personal safety first. If possible, shut down electricity to the water-damaged areas. Document affected interiors and contents by taking pictures. Don’t dispose of anything until after your insurance adjuster has completed his or her inspection.
Does homeowners insurance cover all property water damage?
Yes, with two exceptions. Homeowners insurance doesn’t cover water damages caused by neglected plumbing repairs or shoddy installation. It also doesn’t cover damages resulting from a natural flood event. Speak with your insurance agent about purchasing a flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program.
