Lombard, DuPage County

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Lombard

Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night as soon as you find water in your Lombard basement. We tell you what to do first, then we get it extracted, dried and rebuilt.

What to do when your Lombard basement floods

The first hour after you find water in the basement is about safety and records. If you can reach the breaker panel without standing in water, shut off power to the basement. Take photos and video before you move anything, then lift what you can off the wet floor. After that, call or text us, and we take it from there with extraction, drying and the rebuild.

We cover Lombard from I-355, Roosevelt Road and St. Charles Road, with Main Street taking us through town in DuPage County. Once we are there, we extract the water, pull the materials that cannot be dried, and set drying equipment at rates you see in writing first. If the sump pump caused it, we replace the pump and add a battery backup while we are in the basement. ONIT Solutions rebuilds the space afterward, so the job stays with one company.

What a Lombard flooded basement cleanup includes

Guidance on the phone

When you call, we walk you through power, photos and what to move before we get there.

Standing water extracted

Our crew removes the water from the floor and pulls it out of the carpet and pad.

Wet materials removed

Pad, baseboard, soaked insulation and the bottom of the drywall come out and leave with us.

Antimicrobial and drying

Exposed surfaces are treated, then air movers and dehumidifiers run with daily moisture readings.

Sump pump replaced

A new pump goes in the pit, and we run water through it to make sure it cycles.

Battery backup installed

A backup pump on a battery takes over during a power outage or a main pump failure.

How the Lombard job runs

After your call or text, we dispatch as fast as we can and give you a straight answer on timing. The cleanup scope and the daily equipment rates are in writing before setup. If the scope needs to change, you get photos and a written price, and nothing extra happens without your approval. The rebuild follows on its own written estimate and ends with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Lombard: questions

Should I start pulling up the wet carpet myself?
You can lift boxes and furniture off the floor, but leave the carpet and drywall for us. Photos of everything as it sits help your claim, and wet carpet is heavy. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will tell you what is worth doing before we get there.
Does my Lombard homeowners policy cover a flooded basement?
Some policies do and some do not. Sewer or water backup is often a separate endorsement, so check yours or ask your agent, and plan on the deductible being yours. Coverage is never something we promise. We will meet your adjuster at the house if they want.
Will Lombard require a permit?
The drying generally does not. For a pump circuit, plumbing changes or rebuilt framing, it can. Where Lombard requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
How long until the equipment is gone?
Each machine comes out as soon as the readings in its area show dry. We check them every day, so the readings set the timeline. The rebuild is scheduled after that.
Do you cover the towns around Lombard?
Yes. We also handle flooded basements in Villa Park, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove and Addison.
