Chicago's Premier Water Damage Restoration Company

Assessing water damage is a crucial first step in the restoration process. At Redefined Restoration, our comprehensive assessment includes the following steps:

1. Initial Inspection: Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive promptly to evaluate the extent of the water damage. We use advanced moisture detection equipment to identify affected areas, including hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.

2. Damage Categorization: We categorize the water damage based on contamination levels. Category 1 is clean water from a clean source like a broken pipe. Category 2 is gray water, which has some contaminants, and Category 3 is black water, which is highly contaminated and poses health risks.

3. Extent of Damage: We assess the extent of structural damage, including compromised walls, floors, and ceilings. This helps us determine the necessary repairs and whether materials can be salvaged or need replacement.

4. Content Evaluation: Personal belongings and furnishings are inspected for water damage. Items are categorized for cleaning, restoration, or disposal based on their condition and contamination level.

5. Mold Risk Assessment: We check for signs of mold growth, which can develop quickly after water exposure. This is crucial to prevent long-term health issues and further property damage.

6. Documentation: Detailed documentation of the damage, including photographs and written reports, is prepared. This is essential for insurance claims and to develop an effective restoration plan.
