About Our Team

Water Damage Restoration Led by Jack Sullivan

Jack Sullivan runs Chicago Water Damage Restoration from the shop at 720 N Larch Ave in Elmhurst, sending crews into Cook County neighborhoods every week. The work focuses on older brick two-flats and frame houses in places like Wicker Park, Logan Square, and Hyde Park where aging galvanized lines and flat roofs meet Chicago's humid continental swings from subzero winters to humid summer storms.

Jobs often start with calls from Lincoln Park and Lakeview after freeze-thaw cycles split supply lines or from South Loop and Pilsen basements that take on water when heavy rain meets poor grading near the river. Sullivan keeps the schedule tight with shop hours Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm so homeowners in Rogers Park or Andersonville can reach a decision maker directly instead of a call center.

  • Owner Jack Sullivan oversees every Water Damage Restoration project from first inspection to final dry-out
  • Service area covers Chicago neighborhoods plus nearby Evanston and Oak Park with same-day response when water is still standing
  • Upfront written quotes delivered on site before any equipment enters the property
  • Workmanship shown in person so clients can inspect drying progress before final sign-off

What to expect, start to finish

1

Initial Assessment And Water Extraction

A technician arrives at your Chicago property during business hours and inspects for standing water in basements or ground floors common in older brick buildings throughout Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and Hyde Park. Extraction equipment removes water quickly while noting how cold winters in Cook County can lead to burst pipes or how summer humidity affects moisture spread.

2

Drying And Dehumidification

Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry affected areas, with special attention to wood framing and plaster in homes near the Chicago Riverwalk or in Logan Square where older construction holds moisture longer after heavy rains.

3

Cleaning And Sanitizing

All surfaces are cleaned and treated to prevent mold, focusing on contents from properties in Lakeview, Uptown, or near Navy Pier where high foot traffic and proximity to Lake Michigan can introduce additional contaminants.

4

Restoration And Final Repairs

Damaged materials are replaced and the space is returned to pre-loss condition, coordinating with owners in West Loop lofts or South Loop apartments where tight layouts require precise sequencing to avoid disrupting daily routines.

(844) 942-2839
+ What factors affect pricing for water damage restoration in Chicago?
Pricing depends on the volume of water, affected square footage, and whether the loss involves finished basements in older Cook County homes or upper-floor units in high-rises near Willis Tower. Additional costs can arise from contents handling or extended drying needed during humid summer months.
+ How long does water damage repair typically take in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park or Hyde Park?
Most jobs finish in three to seven days once extraction is complete, though drying can extend in cold winter conditions when outdoor temperatures slow evaporation in unheated spaces common in Andersonville or Bridgeport.
+ Do you handle emergency calls outside listed hours?
Calls are answered Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm at our Elmhurst location, with after-hours messages directed to the on-call technician for urgent situations in Evanston or Oak Park.
+ What is included in water damage restoration service?
Service covers extraction, drying, sanitizing, and basic repairs to restore the structure; contents cleaning and major reconstruction such as flooring replacement in Pilsen or Rogers Park homes are quoted separately after inspection.
+ Can water damage from Chicago winters require special steps?
Yes, frozen pipes and ice dams often affect attics and exterior walls in older stock near Grant Park or Soldier Field, requiring extra time to thaw and dry hidden cavities before repairs begin.
+ Is there a difference restoring commercial spaces versus homes in the West Loop?
Commercial jobs in the West Loop or near Millennium Park often involve larger open areas and business interruption concerns, while residential work in Logan Square focuses more on personal belongings and multi-unit coordination.
