Information We Collect
Illinois Water Damage Pros collects information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us for water damage restoration, mold remediation, or emergency flood response services. This typically includes your name, phone number, email address, property address, and details about the water damage situation you are experiencing. We may also collect information about your insurance coverage if you choose to share it for claim assistance purposes.
When you visit our website at ilwaterdamagepros.pages.dev, certain technical information is automatically collected, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve our services. We do not collect precise geolocation data from your device unless you explicitly provide your address for service dispatch.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely to deliver and improve our water damage restoration services. Your contact details allow us to respond to your emergency inquiries, dispatch qualified technicians to your property, communicate about project timelines and progress, and follow up to ensure your complete satisfaction with our work. We may also use your information to send appointment reminders, service updates, or occasional communications about maintenance recommendations that could help prevent future water damage.
With your explicit consent, we may use your contact information to request reviews of our services or to inform you about new service offerings. You may opt out of these non-essential communications at any time. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any sharing of your information is limited to what is necessary to complete the services you have requested.
Phone Call Handling
When you call our emergency hotline, your phone number is captured through standard caller ID systems. We may record calls for quality assurance, training, and documentation purposes. If a call is recorded, you will be notified at the beginning of the conversation. These recordings are stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel who need them to improve our customer service or verify service details.
Phone inquiries are logged in our customer relationship system to ensure we can track your service request from initial contact through project completion. This allows our team to provide consistent, informed support even if you speak with different representatives. Text messages sent to or received from our business line are also retained as part of our service records.

Third-Party Services
To provide comprehensive water damage restoration services, we occasionally work with trusted third parties who need limited access to your information. These may include insurance adjusters, plumbing contractors, building material suppliers, or specialized equipment providers. We share only the minimum information necessary for these parties to perform their specific role in your restoration project.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as our insurance partners or industry certification organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
