Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Woodridge, IL

Fire and smoke restoration in Woodridge

Here is what a fire restoration job includes. Damaged materials come out, soot gets cleaned off every surface that can be saved, and HEPA air scrubbers run through the tear-out and cleaning. Odor gets handled by removing what holds it and sealing what stays, and we dry the water left from firefighting with air movers and dehumidifiers. When the readings say dry, ONIT Solutions rebuilds.

Woodridge is on our regular route off I-355 and I-55, with 75th Street, Route 53 and Woodridge Drive running through the DuPage County village. If you live in a townhome, smoke can travel into the unit next door through the shared wall and attic. The association may also need paperwork before shared walls or the exterior get rebuilt. We write the scope so it is clear which work is inside your unit, and we share it with the association when it asks.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What Woodridge fire restoration covers

Fire-damaged materials removed

We take out burned drywall, insulation, flooring and trim, and haul off the debris.

Soot cleaned from salvageable surfaces

Walls, ceilings, cabinets and doors that came through get cleaned instead of replaced.

HEPA air scrubbing throughout

Scrubbers with HEPA filters keep fine soot moving out of the air instead of onto the next room.

Odor control by removal and sealing

Whatever soaked up the smoke comes out, and the stained framing that stays is sealed.

Firefighting water dried

Extraction comes first, then air movers and dehumidifiers, checked every day with moisture readings.

Rebuild inside your unit or home

Framing, drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, trim and paint go back, with a scope that spells out which rooms and walls are included.

The process for Woodridge homeowners

You get a free estimate written line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use. For a townhome, we can include the photos and scope the association asks for. Hidden damage that changes the work is priced in writing and approved by you first. We book the rebuild around the days we said and finish with a walkthrough of each room.

FAQ

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Woodridge: questions

What should I do before your crew gets here?

Stay out of the house until the fire department clears it. Do not wipe the soot, since it smudges into paint and fabric. Photograph every room and your damaged belongings, then call your insurance carrier.

Do you also work near Woodridge?

We do. Downers Grove, Lisle, Darien and Bolingbrook all get fire and smoke calls on the same line, (815) 585-1750.

Will a fire rebuild in Woodridge need a permit?

Most rebuilds that touch framing, wiring or plumbing do. We pull the permit from the village where it is required and schedule the inspections, and for a townhome we can also give the association the scope it asks for.

How long will my house be torn up?

Drying runs until the readings say dry, and it usually finishes before the rebuild starts. The rebuild schedule depends on the scope and the carrier's approval, and you get it in writing with the estimate.

My townhome shares a wall with the unit next door. Does that change anything?

It can. Smoke and water from firefighting can reach the next unit through the shared wall and attic, so we check both sides when we are given access and write the scope so each unit's damage is clear.
