Remove accessible water before it spreads into additional areas.
Locate hidden moisture

Frequently Asked Questions
Chicago Water Damage Restoration FAQs
What should I do first after discovering water damage?
Protect people from electrical or structural hazards, stop the water source when it is safe to do so,
and request professional help. Take photos before moving damaged materials when possible.
What is the difference between water removal and water extraction?
Both terms refer to removing unwanted water. “Water extraction” is commonly used for professional
removal of standing water with pumps, vacuums and related equipment.
Can water remain hidden behind walls or under floors?
Yes. Porous materials and concealed cavities can retain moisture even after visible water has been removed.
Moisture assessment helps identify areas that may require additional drying.
Do you directly perform restoration work?
Chicago Water Damage Help is designed to connect property owners with independent local service providers.
The contractor is responsible for evaluating the property, defining the scope and performing the work.
Can I request help for a commercial property?
Yes. Requests can include offices, retail spaces, apartment buildings, facilities and other commercial properties.
