About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Wheaton, 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 Wheaton, 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 Wheaton, 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 Wheaton, 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 Wheaton, IL FAQs

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Wheaton, IL homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
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 Wheaton, IL which credential covers it.
What can be saved and what has to be removed?
It depends mainly on the material and on how contaminated the water was. Hard, non-porous surfaces can usually be cleaned and dried. Porous materials such as carpet pad, insulation and drywall are harder to save, and after contact with sewage or floodwater they generally have to be removed. Solid wood and structural framing can often be dried in place if the work starts early. A contractor should tell you what they plan to remove and why before they do it, and you can ask for that in writing.
Do you carry out the restoration work yourselves?
No. America Water Damage is a nationwide network that connects property owners with independent local water damage restoration contractors. We do not operate crews, own drying equipment or perform restoration. When you contact us, we take the details of the loss and connect you with a contractor who serves your area. That contractor inspects the property, sets the scope, prices the job and carries out the work under their own credentials and insurance. Any agreement for the work is between you and the contractor.
What should I check before hiring a restoration contractor?
Check the credential that applies where you live, because the rules differ by state. Some states license contractors or require registration, some leave it to cities and counties, and a few license mold work separately. Ask for the license or registration number and verify it with the issuing body. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers compensation cover. Ask for a written scope of work before anything is removed. Many restoration firms also hold IICRC certification, which you can ask to see.
