What is water damage restoration?
+
Water damage restoration is the professional process of removing water from a property, drying the structure and contents, cleaning and sanitizing affected areas, and repairing or rebuilding what was damaged. It goes beyond simply drying things out — a complete restoration addresses hidden moisture, microbial risk, and structural integrity so your property is safe and fully functional again.
How long does water damage restoration take?
+
It depends on the severity. Water extraction typically happens within hours of our arrival. Structural drying generally takes 3 to 5 days for most residential losses, though larger or delayed cases can take longer. Repairs and rebuilding vary based on scope — a minor water loss might be fully resolved in a week, while a major flood could take several weeks to restore completely. We'll give you a realistic timeline on day one — no guessing.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Chicago?
+
Costs vary significantly based on the size of the affected area, the category of water involved, and the extent of structural damage. Minor losses may run a few hundred dollars; major losses can reach tens of thousands. The good news is that most sudden and accidental water damage is covered by homeowners insurance. Romexterra provides free on-site estimates and works with your insurance carrier to maximize your claim.
How do I choose a water damage restoration company?
+
Look for a company that offers 24/7 emergency response, holds proper certifications (IICRC is the industry standard), has documented local experience, works directly with insurance companies, and handles both mitigation and repairs — so you're not left managing multiple contractors. Read their Google reviews, not just their website.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
+
In most cases, yes — if the damage was sudden and accidental. Burst pipes, appliance failures, and roof leaks are typically covered under standard homeowners policies. Gradual leaks and flooding from outside your home generally are not. If you're uncertain about your coverage, call us before you file — we've helped hundreds of Chicago homeowners understand their policies and get claims approved.
Do you serve my neighborhood?
+
We serve all of Chicago and the greater Chicagoland area — including Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Logan Square, River North, Wrigleyville, Hyde Park, Pilsen, Bridgeport, the North Shore, Oak Park, Evanston, and communities throughout the suburbs. If you're in the greater Chicago area, we can be there. Call us and we'll confirm coverage for your specific address.
