Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

Our Highwood 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.

Do you handle both residential and commercial water damage in Highwood?

Yes. Our Highwood, IL teams are equipped for projects of any scale — from single-room residential water damage to multi-story commercial buildings. We carry commercial-grade extraction equipment, industrial dehumidifiers, and enough air movers to handle large-scale losses. Our commercial clients include property managers, HOAs, and business owners throughout Illinois.

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

Our mold prevention protocol for Highwood 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.

How long does the water damage restoration process take in Highwood?

Most residential water damage restoration projects in Highwood, IL take 3 to 7 days for the drying phase alone, depending on the extent of saturation and the materials affected. Full restoration including structural repairs may take 2 to 4 weeks. Our crews use commercial-grade LGR dehumidifiers and air movers to accelerate drying while monitoring moisture levels daily.

What health risks does water damage pose in Highwood homes?

Untreated water damage in Highwood properties can lead to mold growth that causes respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and asthma aggravation. Category 2 and 3 water introduces bacteria and pathogens that pose immediate health risks. Our IICRC-certified restoration process eliminates these hazards through proper extraction, antimicrobial treatment, dehumidification, and air filtration using HEPA-equipped scrubbers.

Will I need to leave my Highwood home during water damage restoration?

It depends on the severity and category of the water damage. Minor Category 1 incidents in Highwood homes often allow you to remain in unaffected areas while we work. However, for extensive damage or Category 3 black water situations, we may recommend temporary relocation for your safety. Our team coordinates with your insurance company on additional living expenses if displacement is necessary.
