Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in La Grange Park

Call or text (815) 585-1750 24/7, and your La Grange Park kitchen and every room around it get cleaned of soot, dried out and rebuilt after the fire. Cabinets are tested before anyone decides they have to go.

Fire and smoke cleanup in La Grange Park, through the rebuild

Fire and smoke restoration starts after the fire department hands the house back to you. We take out the drywall, insulation and flooring the fire ruined, clean soot off the surfaces that can be saved, and run HEPA air scrubbers so the soot in the air does not settle back on clean walls. Odor comes out the same way the damage does: affected materials are removed and the framing that stays is sealed. ONIT Solutions also does the rebuild, so one company is accountable from the first walkthrough to the last coat of paint.

La Grange Park is on our regular route, and we come in on La Grange Road or across 31st Street from I-294. If the fire started in your kitchen, smoke from burning food or grease leaves a thin film that turns sticky on cabinets, ceilings and the insides of drawers. We test the cabinet finish before deciding anything, because some boxes clean up and some have to be replaced. When they do come out, the kitchen rebuild is ours too, and the estimate shows which cabinets were cleaned and which were replaced.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What fire and smoke restoration covers in La Grange Park

Tear-out of burned materials

Charred drywall, insulation, flooring and trim come out and are hauled away, so the rebuild starts on sound framing.

Soot cleaning on what stays

Walls, ceilings, cabinets and hard surfaces that can be saved are cleaned of soot before anything gets painted.

HEPA air scrubbers

Scrubbers run while we work and pull fine soot out of the air so it does not land on the rooms we just cleaned.

Odor control

Smoke smell lives in porous materials, so those come out, and the framing and surfaces that stay are sealed before the rebuild covers them.

Drying out the hose water

Water from the fire hoses is extracted, and air movers and dehumidifiers run with moisture readings every day until the house reads dry.

Kitchen and room rebuild

Drywall, insulation, cabinets, flooring, trim and paint go back in to match the rooms the fire did not reach.

How a La Grange Park fire job runs

We walk the house with you first and give you the daily equipment rates in writing before a single scrubber is set up. The scope is written line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and you get the same photos and moisture readings the adjuster gets. Anything we find once the walls are open is priced in writing and waits for your approval. The rebuild goes on the calendar once you and your carrier agree on the scope, and we finish with a walkthrough of every room we touched.

  • Cabinet finish tested before clean or replace is decided
  • Daily equipment rates in writing first
  • Your own copies of photos and readings
  • Extra work priced in writing before it starts

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in La Grange Park: questions

What should I do before you get there?
Stay out until the fire department says the house is clear to enter. Do not wipe the soot off walls or cabinets, because wiping smears it deeper into the surface. Photograph every room, including the ones that only have smoke on them, and call your carrier to open the claim.
Will the smoke smell come out of my kitchen?
The smell lives in what soaked up the smoke, so those materials come out, and the framing and surfaces that stay are cleaned and sealed before anything is painted. Sealing first is what keeps the odor from bleeding through the new paint.
Does a fire rebuild in La Grange Park need a permit?
Cleaning soot and drying out the house do not usually need one. Replacing framing or doing electrical or plumbing work generally does, so we check with the Village of La Grange Park and pull the permit where the village requires it.
How long does the whole thing take?
Cleanup and drying come first, and the drying runs until the daily readings show dry. The rebuild starts once you and your carrier agree on the scope and the materials are in. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will walk you through the order for your house.
Do you do fire restoration near La Grange Park?
Yes. We take fire and smoke calls in La Grange, Western Springs and Hinsdale as well.
