Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Villa Park, IL

Villa Park fire and smoke restoration, start to finish

Once the fire department clears the house, we take out what the fire ruined and clean soot from every surface that can be kept. HEPA air scrubbers run during the work so loose soot is captured rather than spread. Water left from firefighting is extracted and dried, with moisture readings every day. Odor is handled by removing the materials that absorbed smoke and sealing what remains, and ONIT Solutions rebuilds once the house is clean and dry.

Villa Park is on our regular route by Route 83 and Roosevelt Road, with St. Charles Road, North Avenue and the Illinois Prairie Path crossing town. Heat pushes smoke into any gap it can find, under closed doors, into closets, behind cabinet doors and into drawers, and it leaves a film on surfaces you would not expect. On every fire job we open each closet, cabinet and drawer in the rooms the smoke reached and clean the shelves and interiors. A room that looks clean with the doors shut can still hold the smell behind them.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Villa Park: questions

What should I do before you come?

Wait until the fire department clears the house to go in. Leave soot where it is, because wiping drives it into the surface and spreads it. Take photos of every room, open the closets and cabinets and photograph those too, then call your carrier to open the claim.

Why clean inside closets that were shut?

Heat pushes smoke through the gap under a door and the seams of a cabinet, so the inside can hold soot and smell even with the door closed. We open and clean every one in the rooms the smoke reached.

Will Villa Park require a permit?

Not for cleaning and drying, as a rule. Framing, electrical or plumbing repairs generally need one, and we check with the Village of Villa Park and pull it where the village requires it.

How long until the rebuild is done?

The cleanup and drying come first, and the rebuild is scheduled once you and your carrier agree on the scope and the materials are in. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will go over the order for your house.
