Common Questions

Within 2 hours of dispatch for Chatham, IN water emergencies. The arrival window depends on time of day and where in Chatham you are located, but the 2 hour standard is the upper limit. Most calls see a crew on site within 60 to 90 minutes. The truck is loaded and ready when the call comes in.
Price depends on the volume of water, the materials affected, the Category of water, and the reconstruction scope after drying is complete.

Sudden and accidental water damage (burst pipes, appliance failures, supply line breaks) is typically covered. Gradual water damage (slow leaks over weeks or months, long term seepage) may be excluded as a maintenance issue. Chatham Water Restoration documents the cause and timeline of damage on every Chatham job, which is what determines the coverage determination. Strong documentation supports legitimate claims.
Yes. Chatham Water Restoration technicians are trained for water restoration and mold remediation standards. certification is the standard set by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification. It is required by most insurance carriers for mitigation work to be approved on a claim. Beyond certification, our crews work to the appropriate methods on every job.
Drying happens at the molecular level. Water has to evaporate from the saturated material, get carried away by air movement, and condense in the dehumidifier. The process cannot be rushed past the physical limits of evaporation rate. Chatham Water Restoration sizes equipment correctly and runs the drying chamber 24 hours a day, but the materials themselves dictate the timeline. We take daily readings and only remove equipment when materials reach target dryness.
Category 1 originates from a sanitary source with no substantial risk to humans, sometimes called clean water in the industry. Examples: broken supply line, overflowing sink, appliance overflow with no contamination. Category 2 to professional standards contains significant contamination with potential to cause discomfort or sickness, sometimes called gray water in the industry. Examples: discharge from dishwashers, washing machines, or toilet overflow without solids. Category 3 to professional standards is grossly contaminated and can contain pathogenic or toxigenic agents, sometimes called black water in the industry. Examples: sewage backups, floodwater from rivers or streams, long-standing water that has begun growing microbial colonies. Each Category requires a different protocol per professional restoration practices.
Visible mold is the obvious sign: dark spots on walls, ceilings, in cabinets, around windows. Musty or earthy odors developing 24 to 48 hours after a water event are a strong indicator. Allergy or respiratory symptoms in occupants that improve when away from home suggest exposure. Chatham Water Restoration can test air quality and surface samples on suspect areas to confirm. If mold is present, established practices remediation protocols apply.
If furniture is in standing water, move it to a dry area if you can safely do so. Wood furniture in standing water can warp or stain within hours. Upholstered furniture in Category 1 water can usually be saved if dried promptly. Furniture in Category 2 or 3 water often cannot be saved due to contamination. Chatham Water Restoration crews handle furniture moving as part of the standard scope on most jobs.
Yes. The drying chamber operates continuously until the materials reach verified dry standard. Air movers, dehumidifiers, and HEPA filtration run 24 hours a day for the duration of the drying phase, typically a few days for most Chatham residential losses. Power consumption is part of the scope and is covered on insurance approved claims.
Reconstruction timeline depends on scope. Drywall and paint work for a single room typically runs 3 to 5 business days after drying is verified. Flooring replacement adds 2 to 4 days depending on material and square footage. Full kitchen or bathroom reconstruction can run 2 to 4 weeks. Chatham Water Restoration provides a written reconstruction schedule before work begins so the Chatham homeowner knows what to expect day by day.
