Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked restoration questions from Des Plaines property owners.

How do you prevent mold after water damage in Des Plaines, IL?

Our mold prevention protocol for Des Plaines properties includes rapid water extraction within the first hour, strategic placement of commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, application of antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces, and continuous monitoring of moisture levels until readings return to normal. Speed is the single most important factor in preventing mold growth after water damage.

What should I do first when I discover water damage in my Des Plaines home?

First, stop the water source if you can safely do so — shut off the main water valve or the appliance causing the leak. Then call a certified restoration company immediately. In Des Plaines, IL, our team responds within 60 minutes to begin water extraction and prevent secondary damage like mold growth. Do not use household vacuums on standing water and avoid walking on wet carpet when possible.

How much does water damage restoration cost in Des Plaines, IL?

Water damage restoration costs in Des Plaines typically range from $1,200 to $5,000 for standard residential projects and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for extensive damage. Factors include the category of water (clean, gray, or black), the affected area, materials damaged, and whether mold remediation is needed. We provide free on-site assessments with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

Can you help with water damage to my crawl space or basement in Des Plaines?

Absolutely. Crawl space and basement water damage are among the most common calls we receive in Des Plaines, IL. Our crews are equipped with submersible pumps for standing water removal, vapor barriers for crawl space encapsulation, and commercial drying equipment sized for below-grade spaces. We also identify and address the source of intrusion to prevent recurrence.

How do you detect hidden moisture in walls and floors in Des Plaines homes?

Our Des Plaines technicians use professional-grade moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to map moisture throughout your property. These tools detect water hidden behind walls, under flooring, and in ceiling cavities that is invisible to the eye. Accurate moisture mapping ensures we dry every affected area and prevents hidden pockets of moisture from causing mold or structural decay later.

Can water damage cause mold in my Des Plaines home?

Yes. Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, especially in the warm, humid conditions common in many Illinois communities. In Des Plaines, we address mold risk proactively by deploying commercial dehumidifiers and air scrubbers immediately during the water extraction process. If mold is already present, our IICRC-certified technicians perform full remediation following industry protocols.
