Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Burr Ridge, IL

Fire and smoke restoration in Burr Ridge

Smoke travels farther than flames, so a fire restoration covers more of the house than the room that burned. We remove fire-damaged materials, clean soot off surfaces that can be kept, and run HEPA air scrubbers while we work. Odor gets controlled by taking out what absorbed it and sealing the smoke-stained surfaces that stay. Water from the fire hoses gets dried, and then ONIT Solutions rebuilds.

We cover Burr Ridge from I-55 and Route 83, working along County Line Road. The village straddles DuPage and Cook counties, and the village handles the rebuild permit on either side of that line. If your house is a larger home with a long hallway or a second stairway, smoke can settle in rooms well away from where the fire started. We check every room, every closet and the attic, not only the fire area.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What we do after a Burr Ridge fire

Every room checked for smoke

We look at each room, closet and the attic, since smoke settles well away from the fire.

Removing what burned

Charred drywall, insulation, flooring and trim come out, and we haul the debris off.

Soot cleaning

We clean soot from ceilings, walls, woodwork and cabinets that can be saved.

HEPA scrubbing and sealing

HEPA scrubbers clean the air during the work, and stained framing is sealed before it is closed in.

Hose water dried

Extraction, air movers, dehumidifiers and wall-cavity drying get read and logged every day.

Rebuild matched to the house

Trim profiles, flooring, cabinets and paint get matched to what was there.

How the job runs in Burr Ridge

We photograph every room, including the ones that only took smoke, and you get a copy of each photo. The estimate is written line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and we send a supplement if the carrier's scope misses rooms we documented. Daily equipment rates are shown in writing before setup. Matching trim, flooring and finishes get chosen with you, written into the scope, and checked again at the final walkthrough.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Burr Ridge: questions

What should I do before you get there?

Wait until the fire department clears the house. Do not wipe soot, even in rooms away from the fire, since wiping smears it into the finish. Photograph every room, including the ones that only smell of smoke, and call your carrier to open the claim.

Do you do fire restoration near Burr Ridge?

Yes. Willowbrook, Hinsdale, Western Springs and Darien are on our route, and (815) 585-1750 takes calls and texts for all of them, 24/7.

Does Burr Ridge require a permit for a fire rebuild?

Rebuild work that touches framing, wiring or plumbing usually needs one. We pull it from the village where it is required and set up the inspections, whichever county your address falls in.

How long does fire restoration take in a larger house?

Longer than the fire room alone would, since smoke reaches other rooms. Drying runs until the readings say dry, and the rebuild schedule goes in writing with the estimate once the carrier has the scope.

Can you match the trim and finishes we have?

That is the goal on every rebuild. We measure and photograph the trim, flooring and paint before tear-out, save a sample piece where we can, and write the matches into the scope for your approval.
