FAQ

What causes most water damage calls in Illinois?

Everyday leaks and pipe failures drive most volume nationally (Insurance Information Institute: water damage & freezing, about 1.61 claims per 100 house-years, 2018–2022). Illinois also has local flood and/or freeze patterns described above. Call 888-437-2001 with what failed.

Should I call a plumber or restoration first in Illinois?

If water is still spraying from a pipe, heater, or fixture, shut the valve if safe and get an emergency plumber. Call restoration in parallel so extraction starts when the source is controlled.

What number do I call for Illinois water damage help?

Call 888-437-2001 — one number that serves every city.

Does Illinois flood water need different cleanup than a clean supply leak?

Yes — storm/flood and sewage-category water are handled differently from clean supply-line water. Tell dispatch what entered the building.
