Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Roselle, IL

Fire and smoke restoration for Roselle homes

Fire restoration is two jobs that run together: tearing out what the fire destroyed and cleaning what the smoke reached. Charred materials come out first and leave with us. Soot gets cleaned off the surfaces that stay, and HEPA air scrubbers run while we work. We control odor by removing what holds it and sealing what remains, dry out the water used to fight the fire, and then rebuild the rooms.

We cover Roselle on both sides of the DuPage and Cook county line, coming in on Lake Street, Roselle Road and Irving Park Road. If yours is a two-story house, the smoke rises, so the upstairs bedrooms and the attic can carry more odor than the room where the fire started. Attic insulation soaks up that smoke and has to be removed and replaced, because it cannot be cleaned. We check the attic on a fire job even when the burn was downstairs.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What a Roselle fire restoration includes

Attic insulation replacement

Smoke-soaked insulation comes out of the attic and new insulation goes in, since the old cannot be cleaned.

Upstairs smoke cleanup

We clean soot from the walls, ceilings, closets and trim on the upper floor where the smoke rose.

Tear-out and haul-off

Burned drywall, framing, flooring and trim get removed and taken away.

HEPA scrubbing

Air scrubbers fitted with HEPA filters run on every floor we are cleaning.

Sealing against odor

An odor-blocking primer goes on the framing and attic surfaces that stay.

Drying and rebuild

We dry the firefighting water with daily readings, then put back insulation, drywall, floors and paint.

How a Roselle fire job goes

We start with a walk-through and photos from the basement to the attic. You get a line-by-line estimate in the format carriers use, plus daily equipment rates in writing before anything is set up. If the carrier's scope leaves out something we found, such as the attic insulation, we send a supplement and explain why it belongs. We do nothing extra without your written approval, and a walkthrough at the end covers every room.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Roselle: questions

What should I do before you arrive?

Only go back in once the fire department says the house is clear. Do not try to wipe the soot, because it smears and sets deeper into paint and fabric. Take photos of every room and the damage, then call your insurance carrier to open a claim.

Why does the upstairs smell worse than the room that burned?

Smoke rises and collects on upper floors and in the attic, where it settles into insulation, drywall and closets. Removing what holds it and sealing what stays is how the smell gets handled.

Will Roselle require a permit for the rebuild?

If the rebuild includes framing, electrical or plumbing, it often will. We pull the permits Roselle requires and line up the inspections.

How long does the restoration take?

The cleanup and drying finish when the readings and surfaces say so, not on a set calendar. Once the scope is approved and materials are in, we book the rebuild and stick to those dates. Text (815) 585-1750 with photos and we can talk it through.
