Flooded Basement Cleanup in Bolingbrook, IL

When the sump pump fails in Bolingbrook

Flooded basement cleanup is extraction, drying and rebuilding done in that order, and the order matters. If drywall goes back over a wet stud, the problem comes back behind the new wall. So we pull the water, remove wet pad and drywall, set equipment for the space and take readings every day. Only when the numbers say dry do we close it up with new insulation, drywall, flooring and trim.

We cover Bolingbrook from I-55, Route 53, Boughton Road, Weber Road and Veterans Parkway, all in Will County. If your Bolingbrook basement flooded because the sump pump quit, the pump needs the most attention once the water is out. We check the float, the check valve and the discharge line, and we replace the pump rather than putting a worn one back to work. Then we add a battery backup in the same pit, so a power outage or a stuck float does not leave the basement unprotected.

What flooded basement cleanup in Bolingbrook includes

Extraction

Standing water is pulled out with extraction equipment, including what is trapped under carpet along the walls.

Pad and carpet out

Wet pad comes up and leaves with the debris, along with any carpet that soaked through.

Wall cavity drying

Where a wall only got damp, we can dry the cavity behind it instead of cutting the drywall out.

Air movers and dehumidifiers

Equipment is set for the square footage and how wet the readings are, and it comes out when they read dry.

Pump inspection and replacement

We look at the float, check valve and discharge line, and install a new sump pump when the old one failed.

Battery backup in the pit

A backup pump with its own battery is added so the pit keeps draining through an outage.

What happens after you call

We answer day and night and dispatch as fast as we can, and a text with photos helps us plan. Before setup you see the daily equipment rates in writing, and every machine is checked each day it runs. When the basement reads dry, we write an itemized estimate for the rebuild and the pump work. Changes are priced in writing and need your approval, we book around the days we said, and we walk the finished basement with you.

FAQ

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Bolingbrook: questions

Will insurance pay for my Bolingbrook basement cleanup?

Maybe, and only your carrier can say. Sump pump overflow and drain backups are often covered through a separate sewer or water backup endorsement, not the base policy, so check what you have. We write our estimate line by line in the format carriers use, and if they miss something we explain it and send a supplement.

Does Bolingbrook require a permit for a new sump pump or rebuild?

It depends on the work. We check with the Village of Bolingbrook and pull a permit wherever the village requires one.

How soon is my basement back to normal?

Drying runs until the daily readings show dry, then the rebuild is scheduled once you approve the estimate. We tell you up front what each stage needs and book around the days we said.

Do you work near Bolingbrook?

Yes. We also clean up flooded basements in Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Darien.

Can you add a battery backup to the pump I have?

Yes, if there is room in the pit and the pump you have is in good shape. Call or text (815) 585-1750 with a photo of the pit and we will tell you what fits.
