Licensed Reconstruction Contractor
Everything Water Damage Touches, We Restore
From immediate emergency response through final paint and trim, Alta handles every phase of your water damage reconstruction project.
Structural Framing Repair
Water-saturated studs, joists, and sub-flooring are assessed, dried, and replaced to restore full structural integrity before finish work begins. We pull permits and meet code requirements every time.
Drywall & Ceiling Reconstruction
Waterlogged drywall fails fast and hides mold. Our crew removes, treats the cavity, installs moisture-resistant drywall, tapes, finishes, and textures to match your existing walls perfectly.
→ Drywall Repair ServicesInsulation Replacement
Wet insulation loses its R-value and becomes a mold incubator. We remove compromised insulation, treat the cavity, and re-insulate with properly rated material for Illinois winters.
Flooring Restoration & Replacement
Hardwood, tile, LVP, or carpet — water damage warps and buckles every floor type. We assess salvageability, remove and dry the sub-floor, and reinstall matching flooring material.
Basement Water Damage Rebuild
Illinois basements flood. Alta repairs the source — sump pump, foundation crack, or drainage failure — then reconstructs the finished space to match your original layout and style.
→ Basement Finishing ServicesEmergency Board-Up & Tarping
When storm damage leaves your home exposed, our emergency team secures the structure immediately to prevent further water intrusion while permanent reconstruction planning begins.

Water Damage Reconstruction — Common Questions
Alta operates 24/7 and routes calls directly to on-call project managers — there's no answering service or call center. For emergencies in DuPage County and surrounding suburbs, we typically dispatch within 1–2 hours. We prioritize active flooding situations, structural compromise, and any scenario where delay would significantly increase damage.
Most sudden and accidental water damage — such as a burst pipe, appliance malfunction, or roof leak — is covered under standard homeowner's insurance policies. Gradual leaks and flooding from outside (storm surge, ground water) are typically treated differently and may require a separate flood policy. Alta helps you understand your coverage and documents the damage in the format insurers require to process your claim efficiently. We can also coordinate directly with your adjuster.
Timeline depends heavily on the scope of damage. A single-room incident (one bathroom or a small section of drywall) typically takes 1–2 weeks including drying time. A full basement rebuild or multi-room reconstruction can take 3–8 weeks. Structural drying alone requires 3–5 days with commercial equipment before reconstruction can begin. We provide a detailed timeline with each estimate so you're never guessing.
Water damage repair typically addresses surface-level or contained damage — patching drywall, replacing flooring, fixing the plumbing source. Reconstruction refers to more comprehensive structural rebuilding: replacing framing, joists, sub-flooring, insulation, and multiple material types across a larger area. Alta performs both, and often a single project involves both repair and full reconstruction of specific zones depending on where the damage is most severe.
We address the source first — always. Rebuilding without fixing the underlying cause is a waste of money. Our crews handle burst pipe repair, sump pump replacement, roof leak detection, and water leak detection and repair before reconstruction begins. This single-contractor approach prevents the common situation where a plumber, roofer, and general contractor point fingers at each other over responsibility.
Yes — always. There is no charge to assess your damage and provide a detailed written estimate, whether you're filing an insurance claim or paying out of pocket. We itemize every line of work so you understand exactly what's included. Request your free estimate here or call us directly at (630) 461-9229.
