Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Orland Park

Call or text (815) 585-1750 24/7, and we dry out the hose water, clean up the smoke and rebuild your Orland Park home. That includes a finished basement under the fire, where the water from the hoses ends up.

Orland Park fire, smoke and water cleanup

After a fire, the water used to put it out can do as much harm as the fire itself, and we handle both. We start by removing the burned materials and extracting the water, then set air movers and dehumidifiers and take moisture readings every day. Soot is cleaned off the surfaces worth keeping while HEPA air scrubbers clear the air, and smoke odor is controlled by removing what absorbed it and sealing what stays. ONIT Solutions then rebuilds, so the drying and the construction are under one company.

Orland Park is on our regular route by I-80 and LaGrange Road, with 159th Street and Wolf Road taking us across town. Water from a fire hose runs down through the floor and into whatever is below, so if your house has a finished basement, the ceiling, walls, carpet and pad down there can be soaked while the fire was upstairs. We read the moisture below the fire as carefully as the burned room, and wet basement drywall gets a flood cut, which removes the wet lower section so the wall cavity can dry. Those basement walls go back in the rebuild with the rest of the house.

What an Orland Park fire restoration covers

Burned materials removed

We take out the charred drywall, insulation, trim and flooring and haul the debris away.

Water extraction

Standing water from the hoses comes up first, upstairs and in the basement.

Flood cuts and drying

Wet drywall is cut back, carpet and pad are pulled, and air movers and dehumidifiers dry what stays, read daily.

Soot cleaning

Every surface that can be saved is cleaned of soot before it is painted or sealed.

Odor and air

HEPA air scrubbers run during the work, smoky materials come out, and the surfaces left in place are sealed.

Basement and main floor rebuilt

Ceilings, walls, insulation, flooring, trim and paint are put back on every floor the fire or water touched.

How an Orland Park fire and water job runs

We start with a walkthrough of every floor, the basement included, and the daily equipment rates are in writing before setup. Equipment is checked every day and comes out as soon as the readings show dry, so you are not paying for machines that are no longer needed. The rebuild estimate is written line by line for your carrier, and you keep copies of the photos and readings. Added work waits for your written approval, and a final walkthrough finishes the job.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Orland Park: questions

What do I need to do before you get to my house?
Wait for the fire department to clear the house before going inside. Do not wipe soot off anything, since that presses it into the surface. Take photos of every room on every floor, the basement too, then call your carrier to report the claim.
The fire was upstairs. Why is the basement wet?
Water from the hoses goes down through the floors until it hits the lowest level. We read the basement ceiling, walls and floor and dry it along with the rest of the house.
Does Orland Park require a permit for the repairs?
The basement and main-floor rebuild may, depending on what has to be replaced. Framing, electrical and plumbing work generally needs a permit, so we check with the Village of Orland Park and pull it where the village requires it.
How long will drying take?
It depends on how much water went in and what it soaked into, and we take readings every day until they show dry. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we can talk through your house.
Do you serve the towns around Orland Park?
Yes. We take fire and smoke jobs in Homer Glen, Mokena, Frankfort and Palos Heights too.
