Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Aurora, IL

Aurora fire and smoke damage restoration

ONIT Solutions does both halves of a fire loss: the cleanup and the rebuild. On the cleanup side, we remove burned and heat-damaged materials, clean soot from what can be kept, run HEPA air scrubbers and dry out the water left from firefighting. Smoke odor gets handled by taking out the materials that absorbed it and sealing the surfaces that stay. On the rebuild side, we put back the framing, drywall, insulation, cabinets, flooring, trim and paint.

Aurora spreads across four counties, and we cover all of it, from Orchard Road and Eola Road out to Farnsworth Avenue, along I-88 and Route 59 and on both sides of the Fox River. If your Aurora house is a split-level, smoke from the lower level climbs the half flights, so a fire in the family room can leave soot in the bedrooms upstairs. We check each level separately and write the estimate floor by floor so you and the adjuster can follow it. The rebuild runs under a City of Aurora permit when framing, wiring or plumbing is replaced.

Fire and smoke restoration in Aurora, cleanup through rebuild

Cleanup and rebuild from one company

Soot cleaned level by level

Walls, ceilings and trim on every level are cleaned of soot where they can be saved.

HEPA air scrubbers

How an Aurora fire job runs

You get a walkthrough, photos of each level and an estimate itemized line by line in the format insurance carriers use. Daily rates for the air scrubbers and drying equipment come in writing before setup, and the equipment is checked every day. If your carrier's scope comes up short, we write a supplement and explain it to you before it goes in. Changes are priced and approved in writing first, and we walk the finished house with you.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Aurora: questions

What should I do before you arrive in Aurora?

Wait for the fire department to clear the house. Do not wipe soot from walls or belongings, since that drives it into the surface. Take photos of everything, and call your insurance carrier.

Does a fire rebuild in Aurora need a permit?

It usually does when framing, wiring or plumbing is being replaced. We pull the City of Aurora permit and schedule the inspections. Cleanup and drying usually do not need one.

How long does a fire restoration job take?

Cleanup and drying depend on how much of the house the smoke reached and how much water went in. We take readings daily and pull the equipment once they show dry, then the rebuild runs on the dates we give you.

Do you take fire jobs near Aurora?

Yes, we take them in Montgomery, Oswego, Naperville and Warrenville. Call or text (815) 585-1750.

Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company suggests?

You usually do not. You can generally choose your own contractor, and the deductible is yours either way. We will meet the adjuster at the house if they want to walk it.
