Why Oak Park homeowners call us for flood damage repair
We're on site in about an hour
If you have to cross water that came up a drain, wear rubber boots and gloves, and wash your hands afterward, since that water can carry germs. A person takes your call day or night, and our crew is normally at the house in about an hour.
A free inspection of the damage
The free inspection comes from an IICRC Certified Firm, and it starts with how long the water has been there. Clean water that sits for a couple of days can turn unsanitary, which changes what can be saved, so we also check for odor and staining.
We work directly with your insurance company
We accept every insurer and handle yours directly, from the first call to the final payment. Claims sometimes pass from one adjuster to another, and when that happens we bring the new one up to date, so you don't have to start over.
We help you get the most from your claim
Check whether your policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value, which takes off for age. On replacement cost, part of the money is often held until the work is done, and our completion records can help release it, though what gets paid is the insurer's call.
Financing if you need it
Sometimes the job turns out bigger than you budgeted for, such as a subfloor that has to be replaced as well as the flooring on top of it. Financing is available for that, or for the deductible on a covered claim, so the bill can be paid in installments.

Our burst pipe and water cleanup process in Oak Park, MI
Step 1. You call our office
Day or night, one call to our emergency response line and dispatch puts a crew on the road. If water has run into a floor vent, switch the furnace or air conditioner fan off at the thermostat, so damp air isn't pushed through the ducts to other rooms.
Step 2. We find where the water went
A dripping attic pipe or air handler can soak the insulation over a whole ceiling before a single stain appears. With our construction background, we check the attic above the wet area as well as the rooms below, and photograph every room it touched for the assessment.
Step 3. We take the water out
Once the standing water is out, we check before cutting anything. In an older home, textured ceilings and some joint compound may need an asbestos test first, and once that's clear, we remove what's too wet to save, after showing you why.
Step 4. We dry it out
We place decontaminated air movers and dehumidifiers where each wall and floor dries best, and a technician returns daily with a moisture meter, usually for two to four days. If a unit near a bedroom is too loud, ask us to reset it rather than switching it off.
Step 5. We handle the insurance paperwork
Our invoice and the documentation behind it follow within days of finishing, sent to you and to your insurer, and we ask that payment come straight to us. If hidden damage turns up during reconstruction, the claim can often be reopened with a supplement, backed by our photos.

Wonderful experience during such a stressful time. They came out immediately, the employees were extremely polite and respectful, and kept me updated every step of the way. They also helped guide me through the insurance claims process which seemed overwhelming at first. I would definitely recommend.

Oak Park questions about water damage and drying
Questions we get from our customers' and our answers.
What causes most water damage in Oak Park homes?
We're usually called for a split appliance hose, a burst pipe, a roof leak, a toilet that ran over or a worn-out water heater. Rain is the other common cause: Oak Park suggests disconnecting downspouts from the sewer and pointing them at the lawn, away from the foundation, which also helps keep water intrusion out of a basement. Insurers may treat outside flooding differently, so we record where the water came in.
Do you also handle water damage at Oak Park businesses?
Yes. Commercial property, from stores and offices to apartment buildings, can call on our 24/7 emergency service just like a homeowner. We locate the water, extract it, dry the building with drying equipment and daily readings and work directly with its insurance company, keeping documentation for each room. Storm flood cleanup is handled the same way.
Does your inspection of my Oak Park home open an insurance claim or lock me in?
No. The inspection doesn't open a claim or lock you into hiring us. A claim can only be filed by you, the policyholder, and you choose the contractor, whatever your insurer suggests. Mitigation is your responsibility from the start, so don't wait for an adjuster's visit before drying begins.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Oak Park?
An honest number has to wait until we've seen the damage, since the restoration process often uncovers wet layers you couldn't see at first. Our billing is time and materials, following the IICRC S500 standard and Xactimate's most recent price list, and copies go to you and your insurer at the same time.
Is it safe for us to stay in our Oak Park home while it dries?
Usually yes, if a clean source such as a leaking supply line caused it. Our advice changes with sewage, rising water from outdoors or mold growth that has taken hold, since mold remediation is then its own job, and it changes for anyone in the home with breathing problems. We'll tell you after water extraction whether staying somewhere else for a few days is wiser.
