Fire and smoke restoration across Willow Springs

Fire restoration is the cleanup and rebuilding that happens after the fire department leaves. We cut out burned drywall, insulation and flooring, clean soot from the surfaces that stay, and run HEPA air scrubbers so the cleaned rooms stay clean. Water from the hoses is pulled up and dried with equipment sized to each room, and the smell is controlled by removing what soaked it up and sealing what is left. ONIT Solutions then rebuilds the rooms.

We cover Willow Springs from I-294, Archer Avenue and Willow Springs Road, including the streets along the Des Plaines River and the forest preserves. If the fire started in an attached garage, the door into the house and the ceiling under any room above the garage take the most heat, and smoke comes through the gaps around that door. We open the garage ceiling to look at the framing, and wood that stays is cleaned and sealed before new drywall goes up. The rebuild puts fire-rated drywall back between the garage and the house where the code calls for it.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

Willow Springs fire restoration, garage to bedrooms

Garage and house tear-out

Burned drywall, insulation and trim come out in the garage and in every room the fire damaged.

Framing cleaned, sealed or replaced

Framing that stays is cleaned and sealed so the smell does not come back through new walls, and framing too burned to keep is replaced.

Soot off every surface we keep

Walls, ceilings, doors and cabinets that can be saved are cleaned before anything is primed.

HEPA air scrubbing

Scrubbers run the whole time we work, capturing the soot we stir up.

Hose water extracted and dried

We pull up the water and dry the house with air movers and dehumidifiers, reading the moisture daily.

Garage wall rebuilt to code

The wall and ceiling between the garage and the house go back with fire-rated drywall where the code calls for it, then the rooms are finished and painted.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Willow Springs: questions

What are the first steps after a fire?
First, stay out until the fire department clears the house. Then leave the soot where it is, because rubbing it smears it into walls and trim. Photograph every room before anything is moved, and call your insurance carrier to open the claim.
The fire was in the garage. Does the house need work too?
Often it does, because smoke comes through the door and the ceiling into the rooms next to the garage. We check every room and write down what each one needs.
Will Willow Springs require a permit?
Rebuilding the wall between the garage and the house, or replacing framing, wiring or plumbing, generally needs one. Soot cleaning and drying usually do not. We check with the Village of Willow Springs and pull what it requires.
How long until we are back to normal?
Drying runs until the daily readings show dry, and the rebuild starts once you and your carrier agree on the scope and the materials are in. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will lay out the order for your house.
Do you cover towns near Willow Springs?
Yes. We handle fire and smoke damage in Burr Ridge, Palos Park, Lemont and Western Springs as well.
