Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Bolingbrook, IL

Bolingbrook fire and smoke restoration

The fire department's job ends when the fire is out, and ours starts there. We tear out the materials the fire and heat ruined, clean soot from the surfaces that can be kept and keep HEPA air scrubbers running throughout the house. To control the smoke odor, we remove the drywall, insulation, carpet and pad that absorbed it and seal what stays. The water left from firefighting is extracted and dried, and then we rebuild.

We cover Bolingbrook along I-55, Route 53, Boughton Road, Weber Road and Veterans Parkway. If you live in a Bolingbrook townhome, a fire in the next unit can send smoke through a shared attic or wall into yours, and the association's policy may cover part of the structure while yours may cover the inside. We document your unit separately so your claim is clear. Rebuild work that replaces framing, wiring or plumbing needs a village permit, and we pull it.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What we handle after a Bolingbrook fire

Clearing out fire damage

Anything the fire charred or the heat warped, from drywall to cabinets, is removed and taken off site.

Cleaning soot from saved surfaces

Ceilings, walls, trim and fixtures worth keeping get cleaned with methods matched to the type of soot.

HEPA scrubbers in every work area

Filtered air scrubbers run while we work so soot does not drift into rooms that were clean.

Odor sealed off

Materials holding smoke odor are removed, and the remaining framing is sealed before new drywall goes up.

Drying after the hoses

Water from firefighting gets extracted and dried with air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the space.

Rebuild to match

Framing, insulation, drywall, cabinets, flooring, trim and paint go back in to match the rest of the unit or house.

From first call to final walkthrough in Bolingbrook

After the call, we walk the damage with you and photograph each room, including the ones the fire never reached. The estimate is itemized in the pricing format carriers use, and the daily rates for drying and air equipment are in writing before setup. If your adjuster or the association's adjuster wants to meet at the house, we meet them there. Changes are priced and approved by you in writing first, and the job ends with a room-by-room walkthrough.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Bolingbrook: questions

Is there anything I should do before you arrive?

Let the fire department clear the house first. Do not try to wipe soot off walls or furniture, since that grinds it in. Photograph everything, damaged or not, and call your insurance carrier to report the fire.

Does Bolingbrook require a permit for fire repairs?

The rebuild usually does when framing, electrical or plumbing is replaced. Cleanup and drying usually do not. We pull the village permit and set up the inspections.

How soon can the rebuild start?

It can start once the drying readings show dry and the scope is approved. We take readings every day, so the equipment comes out as soon as the house is ready and the rebuild can be booked.

Do you cover towns near Bolingbrook?

Yes. Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Darien are all in our area. Call or text (815) 585-1750 any hour.

What if the fire started in the townhome next door?

Smoke and water can still reach your unit. Call your own carrier and let the association know, and we will document the damage in your unit so it can be sorted out between the policies.
