Flooded Basement Cleanup in Romeoville, IL

Cleaning up a flooded Romeoville basement

The basement is where a lot of households keep the things they do not use every day, so a flood down there is as much about belongings as walls. We move and protect what is stored in the wet area, then extract the water and pull wet carpet, pad and drywall. Drying equipment runs with readings every day, and we treat exposed surfaces with antimicrobial. When it reads dry, we replace the sump pump if needed, add a battery backup and rebuild.

Romeoville is in Will County along the Des Plaines River, and we reach it on I-55, Route 53, Weber Road and 135th Street. If your basement has boxes stacked on the floor, those soak up water and wick it into whatever they touch. We lift and move contents to a dry part of the house before the drying setup goes in, so the equipment can do its job. Anything that cannot be saved is your call, and we photograph it for your claim before it leaves.

Flooded Basement Cleanup by ONIT Solutions

What flooded basement cleanup in Romeoville includes

Contents moved out of the wet area

Boxes, shelving and furniture get moved to a dry room and set where they won't soak up more water.

Photos before anything leaves

We photograph damaged belongings and materials before removal, and you get copies of every photo.

Water extraction

Extraction equipment pulls standing water off the slab and out of the carpet before drying begins.

Removal of soaked materials

Carpet, pad and the wet bottom of the drywall are cut out and hauled away as debris.

Sump pump swap

If your pump failed, we take it out and install a new one with a working check valve.

Backup that runs on battery

We add a battery backup pump in the pit to keep water moving out while the power is down.

How the cleanup and rebuild are handled

Call or text and we get moving as fast as we can, day or night. The daily equipment rates are in writing before setup, and the equipment leaves as soon as the readings show dry. From there we write an itemized estimate for the rebuild and go through it with you line by line. If more damage turns up once walls are open, that work is priced in writing and waits for your approval, and a final walkthrough closes the job.

FAQ

Flooded Basement Cleanup in Romeoville: questions

Does homeowners insurance cover basement flooding in Romeoville?

Coverage depends on your policy and what caused the water, and we never promise it. A sump pump failure or drain backup is often covered only by a separate sewer or water backup endorsement, while water from outside is usually a flood policy matter. Check your policy, and we will give your carrier a line by line estimate and meet the adjuster if they want.

Does the Village of Romeoville require a permit?

For some rebuild work, yes. We check with the Village of Romeoville before we begin and pull the permit where one is required.

How long until the drying is done?

The readings tell us, so we cannot give you a number on day one. We take moisture readings every day and pull the equipment once the basement reads dry.

Do you clean up basements around Romeoville?

Yes. We work in Bolingbrook, Lockport and Lemont too.

What happens to the things I had stored down there?

We move what we can to a dry part of the house and photograph anything damaged before it goes. You decide what stays and what goes, and you can call or text (815) 585-1750 any time with a question about a specific item.
