How Hammond Water Damage Restoration works
Hammond sits on the Illinois line, with the Little Calumet River running through it. The river has been the source of the city's worst water history, and the 2008 flood is still the reference point for how water behaves here, from the riverfront streets to the basements farther back.
Most of the city's housing is mixed: older streets with plaster and plank floors, and newer subdivisions on slabs and basements. The same storm can cause very different losses in those two kinds of house, and the call is handled with that in mind.
The aim of this line is to make the first hour calmer. The questions are short, the steps are clear, and the record starts with the first photograph. Everything after that is set from the readings in your own house.
The independent local company on site carries the credentials
Hammond Water Damage Restoration is a call line that connects callers in Hammond with an independent local water-damage company. Your call is answered at any hour, and the first questions are about the main shut-off, the power to any wet room and where the water came from.
The company that does the work is the independent local firm, not this website. It carries the permissions and the compliance that the job requires, keeps its own insurance and answers to the offices that issue those credentials. Ask it which licence, registration or permit covers each part of its work, and ask to see the insurance certificate.
Check any number you are given with the office that issued it. For the firm's privacy, its credential numbers are not printed on this site; the caller can ask for them on the phone, or when the company rings ahead of the work.

What we hold ourselves to
Safety is the first instruction
Every call starts with the main and with staying out of water near outlets, cords and a wet panel. Equipment and removal wait until the power and the water are dealt with, however urgent the call sounds.
Readings decide, not the calendar
A drying plan is set by the numbers in each wall, floor and framing bay. The owner sees the readings at every check, and the equipment comes out only when the materials are dry.
Nothing is removed on a guess
Material is kept, dried or taken out on the evidence of the readings and the photographs, with the owner present for the decision. The record lists what was removed and why.
Plain answers about what is not included
Repairs to the line, the roof, the wall and the finish are separate trades with their own quotes. The record says which of them your house needs, so you are not left guessing.

Frequently asked questions
Who decides what gets removed and what stays?
The readings, with you. The technician shows which plaster, lath, insulation or flooring still reads wet and which has dried to its goal, and you decide with that information in front of you.
Is Hammond Water Damage Restoration the company that does the work?
No. Hammond Water Damage Restoration is the line that takes the call and passes it to an independent local company, which is the firm that does the restoration work and holds its own permissions and insurance.
Why does this site show no prices?
A figure given before the water has been seen would be guesswork. The price is explained on site, with the reasons for each line, and it is approved before any work starts.
What do I get at the end of the job?
A record with the readings at each check, the photographs, the list of what was removed and what was kept, and the date each room reached its goal. That is the document an insurer or a buyer will ask to see.
