Flooded basement cleanup in Glen Ellyn, with your belongings in mind

Basements hold the things families keep: holiday boxes, photos, tools and furniture. When water comes in, we get those things off the wet floor and protected before the heavy work starts. Then we extract the water, remove the carpet, pad and drywall that are too wet to dry, and set drying equipment with daily readings. ONIT Solutions rebuilds the basement once it reads dry.

Glen Ellyn is on our regular route in DuPage County, and we get there by Roosevelt Road and Route 53 and through downtown on Main Street. Moving contents inside the house is part of our cleanup, whether that means a dry room upstairs, the garage, or shelving that lifts things off the floor. We photograph damaged items before anything is thrown out, because those photos matter for a claim. If something is clearly ruined, we tell you, and the decision to let it go stays with you.

Flooded Basement Cleanup by ONIT Solutions

What a Glen Ellyn basement cleanup covers

Contents moved first

Boxes, furniture and stored items are moved to a dry room or raised off the floor before extraction starts.

Photos of damaged items

We photograph what the water damaged before anything leaves the house.

Extraction

Standing water is removed and the carpet extracted so drying starts on a floor that is not holding water.

Flood cuts and baseboard removal

Baseboard comes off and wet drywall is cut back so the wall cavity can dry out.

New sump pump

A failed pump is replaced with a new one sized to your pit.

Battery backup pump

We install a battery backup next to the main pump to cover power outages and pump failures.

How a Glen Ellyn cleanup unfolds

We answer calls and texts at any hour and send a crew as fast as we can. Before drying starts, the scope and each machine's daily rate are written down for you. Work beyond that scope gets priced in writing and waits for your approval. When the basement reads dry, we write the rebuild estimate, schedule the work, and do a final walkthrough with you.

FAQ

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Glen Ellyn: questions

What happens to the things stored in my basement?
We move them to a dry part of the house or lift them off the floor, and we photograph anything that got wet. You decide what stays and what goes. We do not take contents off-site for cleaning.
Will insurance cover the cleanup in my Glen Ellyn basement?
Your policy decides that, not us. Backup coverage for water or sewer is often a separate endorsement, so check whether yours includes it. We can give you photos, daily readings and an itemized estimate for the claim, but we never promise what will be paid.
Do I need a Glen Ellyn permit for the rebuild?
It depends. Drywall and paint alone may not need one, but electrical, plumbing and framing work generally does. Where Glen Ellyn requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
How long will this take?
Contents and extraction come first, then drying runs until the readings show dry. The rebuild is scheduled after that on a written estimate. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will tell you what we see from a photo.
Do you work in the towns around Glen Ellyn?
Yes. We take flooded basement calls in Wheaton, Lombard and Glendale Heights as well.
