Flooded Basement Cleanup in Lemont

Call or text (815) 585-1750 around the clock and we will start pulling water out of your Lemont basement, whether it came through the pit or a window well.

Drying out Lemont basements, uphill wall and all

A flooded basement needs three things in order: the water out, the wet materials out and the room dried to a reading, not a guess. We handle all three with extraction equipment, flood cuts and dehumidifiers that stay until the moisture meter says dry. When the pit or the pump is to blame, we replace the pump and can add a battery backup. Then ONIT Solutions rebuilds the basement, from insulation and drywall to the last coat of paint.

We work in Lemont every week, coming in on I-355, Route 171 and Lemont Road. Lemont is a town of hills and bluffs above the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal, and slope changes how water reaches a basement. If your house sits into a hillside, the uphill wall and its window wells take the runoff, so a well that fills and leaks past the window is worth a close look. We note how the water got in while the basement dries, and the window trim and drywall around it go into the rebuild scope.

Flooded Basement Cleanup by ONIT Solutions

What flooded basement cleanup in Lemont includes

Water removal

Standing water comes off the floor first, along with whatever the carpet is holding.

Window well leaks

If the water came in through a basement window, we photograph it and include the window trim and surrounding drywall in the rebuild.

Flood cuts

We cut wet drywall above the water line and pull wet insulation so the framing behind it can dry.

Monitored drying

Air movers, dehumidifiers and wall-cavity drying run until daily readings show dry, then they come out.

Pump and battery backup

A failed sump pump gets replaced, and a battery backup can go in to cover power outages.

Rebuilding the basement

We hang and finish new drywall, replace trim and flooring, and paint to match.

How a Lemont basement water job runs

We answer at any hour and send help as fast as we can. Before setup, you get the equipment's daily rates in writing, and every day we check both the machines and the readings. The rebuild comes with a free on-site estimate and a written scope, and if we open a wall and find more damage, that price comes to you in writing first. We walk the basement with you before we call it finished.

FAQ

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Lemont: questions

Does insurance cover water in a Lemont basement?
Only your policy can tell you. Water from a failed sump pump or a backed-up drain usually falls under a sewer or water backup endorsement, which is often a separate add-on, and surface water that ran in from outside is usually a flood policy matter. We never promise coverage, but we can meet your adjuster at the house if they want.
Will Lemont need a permit for the repairs?
It depends on the work. Drywall and paint usually do not, while a new sump discharge, electrical work or structural repairs can. We check with the village and pull whatever permit your job needs.
How soon can the rebuild start?
Once the moisture readings show the basement is dry, we write the rebuild estimate. Work starts after you approve it and the materials are in, and we book around the days we said.
Do you also work near Lemont?
Yes. We handle flooded basements in Homer Glen, Lockport, Darien and Woodridge.
Water came in through my window well. Can you help?
Yes. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and send a photo of the well and the window. We will get the water out, dry the wall and rebuild the trim and drywall around the window.
