Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Oswego

Call or text (815) 585-1750 at any hour after fire or smoke damages your Oswego home. We take it from the first cleanup to the last coat of paint.

Oswego fire damage, from soot cleanup to finished rooms

We start a fire job by removing what the fire and heat destroyed and hauling it away. Next comes soot cleaning on the walls, ceilings and fixtures that can be saved, with HEPA air scrubbers running so the soot stays out of the air. Smoke odor is controlled at the source by removing the materials that absorbed it and sealing the surfaces that remain. The water from firefighting is dried with equipment we check every day, and then we rebuild.

Oswego is on our regular route, in Kendall County along Route 34, Route 71, Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road, with the Fox River running through town. If your Oswego house has an attached garage, a garage fire sends smoke through the door into the house and up into any room built over it. We check those rooms and the attic for soot and odor even when the burn marks stay in the garage. In the rebuild, the wall and ceiling between the garage and the house get the fire-rated drywall that code calls for.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What our Oswego fire restoration covers

Fire debris removal

What burned or warped in the fire is torn out and hauled off so cleaning can start.

Soot on walls and ceilings

Saved surfaces are cleaned, starting at the ceilings and working down.

Air filtered during the work

HEPA air scrubbers keep fine soot from settling back on what we just cleaned.

Odor removed with the materials

Smoke-filled insulation, carpet and pad come out, and what stays is sealed.

Drying with daily readings

Hose water is extracted and dried, and the readings tell us when the equipment can go.

Rebuilt to code

Framing, insulation, trim and paint go back, with fire-rated drywall between the garage and the house.

How an Oswego fire restoration job runs

We open every job with a walkthrough and photos, and the estimate follows, itemized in the format insurance carriers use. Before the scrubbers and dryers are set up, you have their daily rates in writing. We meet your adjuster at the house if they want to see it, and if their scope misses something, we write a supplement and walk you through it. Every change is approved by you in writing before it is done, and the rebuild ends with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Oswego: questions

What should I do before you come out?
Do not go back in until the fire department clears it. Leave soot alone, because wiping it rubs it into the surface. Photograph the damage in every room and call your insurance carrier to open a claim.
Do fire repairs in Oswego need a village permit?
The rebuild usually does when framing, wiring or plumbing is replaced, and we pull the Oswego permit and book the inspections. The cleanup and drying usually do not.
How long does fire restoration take in Oswego?
It depends on how much burned and how wet the house got. Drying runs until the daily readings show dry, and then we book the rebuild around the dates we give you.
Do you cover towns near Oswego?
Yes. Montgomery, Aurora and Naperville are in our area too. Call or text (815) 585-1750 any time.
What gets replaced and what gets cleaned?
Anything charred, warped or soaked with smoke odor, like insulation and carpet, usually gets replaced. Hard surfaces that only took soot, like painted walls and trim, can often be cleaned and sealed. We show you which is which before the estimate goes in.
