Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Palos Park

Call or text (815) 585-1750 any time of day or night, and we take your Palos Park home from smoke and soot back to clean, rebuilt rooms. Attic insulation that soaked up smoke comes out and new insulation goes in.

Fire and smoke restoration for Palos Park houses

We get to work once the fire department has cleared the house and handed it back. The first job is removing materials the fire ruined, then cleaning soot from what can stay, with HEPA air scrubbers catching the fine particles we stir up. If firefighting left water behind, we extract it and dry the house with daily moisture readings. Odor is controlled by taking out the materials that hold it and sealing the ones that stay, and then ONIT Solutions rebuilds.

We cover Palos Park along Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road, out to the wooded lots by the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves. Hot smoke rises until it cannot go any higher, so the attic can hold more smell than any room below it, and loose or batt insulation soaks it up. We check the attic on every fire job, remove insulation that holds smoke, seal the attic framing where it needs it and put new insulation back. Insulation is part of our rebuild work, so the attic gets finished along with the rooms.

How a Palos Park fire job runs

It starts with a walkthrough from the basement to the attic, and the daily rate for every scrubber, air mover and dehumidifier is in writing before it is set. While we clean, we photograph and measure what comes out and write the rebuild scope in the format insurance carriers use. You get copies of the photos, readings and estimate, the same set the carrier gets. Anything extra is priced in writing and approved by you, and we finish with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Palos Park: questions

Is there anything I should do before you come out?
Stay out of the house until the fire department has cleared it. Leave the soot alone, because wiping it smears it deeper into paint and wood. Photograph every room, the attic access and anything damaged, and call your carrier to open the claim.
Why does the attic matter if the fire was downstairs?
Hot smoke rises until it hits the top of the house, and insulation soaks up the smell. If we cleaned the rooms and left the attic, the odor could work its way back down. So we check it, remove what holds smoke, seal the framing and put new insulation in.
Do repairs in Palos Park need a permit?
If the fire damaged framing, wiring or plumbing, the repair generally needs one, and we confirm with the Village of Palos Park and pull it. Whether new insulation and drywall over sound framing needs one is a question we ask the village rather than guess.
How long does a fire restoration take?
Cleanup and drying come first, and the rebuild follows once the scope is agreed and the materials are in. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will give you the order of work for your house.
Which towns near Palos Park do you work in?
Palos Heights, Orland Park, Lemont and Homer Glen, as well as Palos Park.
