About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Lake In The Hills, IL

Across Illinois, America Water Damage works as a referral network for water damage restoration. We are not a restoration contractor and we run no crews. Our part is to listen to what happened, then connect the property owner with an independent local contractor who handles that kind of loss. NOAA's state climate summary says Illinois has experienced a dramatic increase in 2-inch extreme precipitation events, which can cause severe flooding. In April 2013 a slow-moving storm system flooded parts of northern and central Illinois, with some areas receiving up to 10 inches of rain. One finding matters for anyone who assumes they are safe: more than 90 percent of urban flooding damage claims from 2007 to 2014 were outside the mapped floodplain. The 1993 Mississippi River flood is described as one of the greatest natural disasters in US history. Risks like these are why acting early matters in Illinois. From Lake In The Hills, IL, you can reach us day or night. We do not send our own crews. We connect you with a local contractor, and that contractor assesses the loss, sets the scope and carries out the restoration.

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Lake In The Hills, IL

Matching in Illinois starts with two questions: where the property is and what kind of water loss it has. From there we connect the owner with an independent local contractor. America Water Damage does not perform the restoration or supervise it. The Illinois Attorney General states that general contractors are not required by state law to be licensed. Roofers must be licensed by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and plumbers by the Department of Public Health. State law also requires a written contract for repair or remodeling work costing more than $1,000. Ask about any local registration for your city, and insist on that written contract. Before work starts in Lake In The Hills, IL, ask the contractor for proof of liability insurance and a written scope. Insurance billing is arranged between you and the contractor, so confirm how they handle claims. We set no prices. The contractor quotes the job.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Lake In The Hills, IL homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Is flood damage covered differently from other water damage?
Usually, yes. Insurers generally draw a line between water that comes from inside the building, such as a supply line or an appliance, and rising water that comes from outside, such as a river, storm surge or surface runoff. The second kind is what flood insurance is designed for, including policies written through the National Flood Insurance Program. Which category a loss falls into is a decision for your insurer, not for us or for a contractor. If you are unsure which policy applies, report the loss under both and let the insurers respond.
Will the restoration contractor work with my insurance company?
We are not a restoration contractor, so we do not bill insurers or handle claims ourselves. We connect you with an independent local contractor, and any insurance billing is arranged directly between you and that contractor. Many restoration contractors are used to documenting losses for insurers, but practices vary from company to company. Before work starts, ask the contractor how they handle claims, what documentation they provide and what you would owe if the insurer pays less than the invoice.
Should I call my insurer or a restoration contractor first?
In most cases you can do both within the same hour, and the order matters less than acting early. Stopping the water and limiting the damage comes first, because most policies expect the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further loss. Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can and note the claim number. A contractor can then inspect the property and document the damage. Keep photographs, videos and receipts from the start, since that record supports whatever your insurer decides.
How soon can mold start after water damage?
Sooner than most people expect. The US Environmental Protection Agency says it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Warm, humid conditions and porous materials such as drywall, carpet pad and insulation make growth more likely. The EPA also suggests that moldy areas larger than about 10 square feet, or mold that follows extensive water damage, are a reason to consult a professional. Some states license mold work separately, so ask any contractor in Lake In The Hills, IL which credential covers it.
How do I know when the property is actually dry?
Ask to see the numbers. A contractor drying a structure should keep a drying log with regular moisture readings for the affected materials, alongside readings from an unaffected part of the building for comparison. Drying is complete when the wet materials come back into line with that dry reference, not when the floor feels dry to the touch. If a contractor proposes removing equipment, it is reasonable to ask what the latest readings were and how they compare with the target. Keep a copy of the log for your records and for your insurer.
