Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Water Damage Cleanup and Commercial Water Damage Restoration


How much does it cost for Water Damage Restoration or Flood Damage Restoration services?

Dealing with water damage after a flood or severe storm is never something commercial property and business owners look forward to. Often times the process not only seems time-consuming and tedious but also expensive. How much does a water damage restoration job really cost and what is included in the pricing?

Here at ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons, in our years of experience serving the Chicagoland area, we have found that many of our clients tend to assume projects like this cost around $5,000. Little do they know, this is just a generic figure, and the actual price tag to fix water damage due to flooding, sewage, or pipe breaks could be lower or higher.

Without understanding what factors into the actual cost of this repair service, it becomes impossible for customers to make important informed decisions. Fortunately, our expert technicians will always be more than happy to explain the scope of services to our customers so they fully understand what they’re dealing with before deciding on anything permanent.

To help you better understand what you can expect to pay in the event of water damage caused by sewage backup, flooding, or broken pipes, we’ve used our years of experience to break the process down.  The actual cost of emergency water damage restoration services varies largely for two main reasons. First, the pricing of a job is completed on a case-by-case basis. Second, different companies will always offer different quotes for the same job. Determining how much a particular job will cost is easy — simply ask for a quote.

However, we caution our customers to look beyond a simple verbal quote or over-the-phone estimate.  Instead, make sure your contractor offers you a written quote breaking down all of the individual costs of the operation so you have the documents in your records and for your convenient reference.  Not all contractors do this automatically, so be sure to ask for it specifically.

Understanding how a contractor prices a job:

A variety of factors are taken into consideration when a commercial restoration contractor is determining the pricing of a Commercial Water Damage Restoration or a Commercial Sewage Cleanup job. Generally, the more water a contractor is dealing with, the higher you will be charged.

Other factors of consideration include:

  • The height of the water
  • The amount of water that still needs to be extracted
  • Water type
    • There are three categories of water:
      • Clean water which does not pose any health risks
      • Grey Water comes from sources with physical, biological, or chemical pollutants like kitchen wastewater or laundry water. Greywater can cause illness or discomfort to those exposed to it or consuming it.
      • Blackwater is highly toxic and absolutely unsanitary. This includes sewage and floodwater.
    • Obviously, you can expect to pay more if the water type is dangerous and therefore requires more effort to clean.
  • Size of the affected area
    • This is usually measured by square feet.
  • The extent of the damage
  • The materials involved

Residential Water Damage Cleanup services can sometimes average between $3000 – $10,000 and
Commercial Water Damage Cleanup services can sometimes range between $3000 and $30,000.

How much will my insurance cover?

Under normal circumstances, property insurance policies cover 100 percent of emergency water damage restoration services, excluding your policy’s deductible. Make sure to confirm Water Damage coverage and endorsement details with your insurance agent.


How long will it take my property to dry?

Drying time is determined by a combination of factors, including the location, duration, and source of water, the types of building materials, the weather conditions, and how quickly emergency services begin. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, we can determine when the drying is complete. Your carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.


Will turning up the heat or opening windows help dry things out?

Not necessarily. We will adjust the temperature to its optimum setting for the proper drying conditions. Please do not change the setting or shut off the HVAC system. If you do, you may prolong the drying process.

Additionally, opening your windows to assist the drying process is not always recommended. Outside weather conditions may vary, so the technician will determine when and if the outside air is appropriate.


Can my carpet be restored or will it have to be replaced?

There are a few reasons your carpet may not be salvageable, including:
Delamination (occurs when the backing separates from the carpet fiber)
Loss of adhesion (may be caused by prolonged exposure to water or the age of the carpet)
Permanent stains
Carpet covers wood flooring (to salvage the wood flooring)


My ceilings are wet. What needs to be done?

Our technicians will evaluate moisture content, determine the severity of the damage, and may have to remove some of your ceilings for ventilation. Wet insulation can also be a hazard and may need to be removed.


My wood floors are wet and buckling. Will they have to be replaced?

Wood flooring must be evaluated during the drying process. We employ specialized drying systems and dehumidifiers that enable us to create an environment where wood floors can dry more efficiently and resume their original shape. Due to the density of hardwood flooring and urethane finishes, drying may take up to three weeks or longer. If you filed a claim, your insurance adjuster will work with you to make the final decision as to whether floors will need to be refinished or replaced.


Do I need to stay someplace else while my property is being dried and restored?

If you file an insurance claim, you may receive guidance from your insurance representative. However, this is a decision you must reach on your own. Here are several things to consider. Safety is paramount. Our equipment is as childproof as possible, but we require your supervision to make sure no children play with it. Air movers and dehumidifiers will create noise and make your property drafty for a few days. It is important that the equipment remains on, so if the noise is disruptive to you, you might want to consider an alternate place to stay.


The drying process has started, but there are new smells in my property. Do I have mold problems?

It is not unusual to smell odors during the drying process. Increased heat and humidity can also lead to increased odors that may be coming from the drying building materials, or dormant spill and accident areas. Do not confuse these normal odors with the odor of mold. As the drying process continues and humidity levels drop, you’ll notice these odors disappearing on their own. Deodorizers are often used to minimize these effects as well.


What about sewage contamination?

Hard surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized. Affected items that cannot be sanitized require disposal. Porous materials such as drywall, ceiling tiles, insulation, particleboard, paneling, etc., that have been directly affected should be removed during the emergency service visit.  ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons are Commercial Sewage Cleanup professionals.  Rest assured that your property will be properly cleaned, dried, and disinfected.
