WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

At Citywide Construction, we specialize in comprehensive home and commercial water damage repair services throughout Chicago, helping property owners recover from unexpected water-related disasters with confidence and peace of mind. Water damage can occur at any time and for many reasons, including burst pipes, plumbing failures, sewer backups, appliance leaks, roof leaks, and severe storms. When water intrudes into a property, it can quickly compromise structural integrity, damage finishes and belongings, and create the perfect environment for mold growth. 

Our mission is to respond quickly, work efficiently, and restore your property to a safe, clean, and fully functional condition.

We understand that water damage is stressful, whether it affects your family home or disrupts your business operations. That’s why our team is trained to provide fast, dependable emergency response services across Chicago. When you call Citywide Construction, we arrive promptly to assess the extent of the damage, identify the source of the water intrusion, and develop a clear plan of action. Early intervention is critical in water damage situations, and our rapid response helps minimize secondary damage, reduce repair costs, and shorten the overall restoration timeline.

Our water damage repair process begins with a thorough inspection and moisture assessment. Using professional-grade moisture meters and detection tools, we locate hidden water within walls, ceilings, floors, and structural components. Water damage is often more extensive than what is visible on the surface, and our detailed evaluations ensure that no affected area is overlooked. Once the assessment is complete, we move quickly to water extraction, removing standing water using high-powered pumps and vacuums designed for both residential and commercial environments.

After water removal, we focus on drying and dehumidification. Proper drying is one of the most important steps in preventing long-term damage and mold growth. We use industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry all affected materials, including drywall, wood framing, subfloors, and concrete. Our team monitors moisture levels throughout the process to ensure the property is fully dried before moving on to repairs. This careful approach helps protect the structural integrity of your building and creates a healthy indoor environment.

Citywide Construction provides complete water damage repair and restoration services, not just cleanup. Once the property is dry, we begin repairing and rebuilding damaged areas. This may include drywall replacement, insulation repair, flooring restoration, painting, trim work, and structural repairs. For commercial properties, we also address suspended ceilings, office partitions, retail finishes, and specialized build-outs. Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-damage condition—or better—while maintaining high standards of workmanship and attention to detail.

For homeowners in Chicago, water damage can feel overwhelming, especially when personal belongings and living spaces are affected. We treat every home with care and respect, working to restore comfort and safety as quickly as possible. Whether the damage is confined to a single room or impacts multiple levels of your home, we customize our services to meet your specific needs. We also take extra precautions to protect unaffected areas of your home during the repair process, ensuring a clean and organized work environment.

Commercial water damage presents unique challenges, and Citywide Construction has the experience and resources to handle projects of any size or complexity. Water damage in offices, apartment buildings, warehouses, restaurants, and retail spaces can disrupt daily operations and result in lost revenue. We understand the importance of minimizing downtime, so we work efficiently and coordinate repairs to keep your business moving forward. Our team is equipped to handle large-scale water damage repairs while maintaining compliance with local building codes and safety standards.

In addition to repair services, we help address secondary issues caused by water damage, including mold prevention and remediation. Excess moisture can quickly lead to mold growth, which poses health risks and can further damage building materials. Our drying and repair process is designed to reduce the risk of mold, and when mold is present, we take appropriate steps to safely remove it and prevent future growth. Protecting the health of occupants is always a top priority in our water damage repair services.

Citywide Construction also assists clients with insurance-related water damage claims. Dealing with insurance companies can be confusing and time-consuming, especially after a stressful water loss. We work with a wide range of insurance providers and help document the damage, repairs, and restoration process. Our experience allows us to communicate clearly with adjusters and support our clients throughout the claims process, helping ensure repairs are completed properly and without unnecessary delays.

What sets Citywide Construction apart is our commitment to quality, transparency, and customer satisfaction. We believe clear communication is essential during water damage repairs, so we keep our clients informed every step of the way. From the initial inspection to the final walkthrough, we explain our findings, outline repair options, and provide honest recommendations. Our team is fully licensed, insured, and experienced, giving Chicago property owners confidence that their project is in capable hands.

We are proud to serve the diverse neighborhoods and businesses of Chicago with reliable water damage repair services. No two water damage situations are the same, which is why we tailor our solutions to each property and each client.
