Elmhurst restoration and insurance rebuilds

Calls and texts come through 24/7, and we dispatch as fast as we can. We handle water, sewage, mold, fire and storm damage the whole way through: extraction, drying, cleanup, then the rebuild. Drying runs on readings, with each room checked every day and the equipment pulled when it reads dry. On the insurance side, we write the estimate in carriers' format, meet the adjuster if they want, and send supplements when the scope falls short.

Elmhurst is on our regular route by I-290, I-294, York Road, North Avenue and St. Charles Road, from downtown and the Metra station to the streets around Elmhurst University. When a water heater fails in a finished basement, the water spreads out from the utility room into the carpet and up the drywall. If your Elmhurst basement has built-in shelving or a wet bar, we check behind and under them, because water hides there after the floor looks dry. The flood cut height comes from the readings, and the rebuild estimate lists every foot of wall and every built-in that came out.

Basement put back

Insulation, drywall, built-ins, base, doors and flooring are rebuilt to match what was there.

How an Elmhurst restoration job runs

The daily equipment rates are in writing before setup, and every machine is checked each day. We measure and photograph the damage during tear-out and write the estimate line by line, and you get copies of the photos, the readings and the estimate. Any change, whether from the carrier's scope or from damage we find, is priced in writing and approved by you before it is done. The rebuild is booked around the days we said and ends with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Insurance & Restoration Work in Elmhurst: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Close the cold-water valve on top of the water heater, or the main if that is closer and safe to reach, and turn the heater off at its control only if you know how. Stay off wet floors near outlets and cords, carry what you can upstairs, and photograph the damage. Then call your insurer to start the claim.
Will you meet my adjuster?
Yes, if the adjuster wants to see the damage, we meet them at the house and walk it together. We send them our estimate, photos and readings, and you get the same set. We are a contractor, not a public adjuster, so the claim stays between you and your carrier.
Does an Elmhurst basement rebuild need a permit?
Replacing drywall and flooring usually does not, but framing, electrical and plumbing work generally does. We check with the City of Elmhurst and pull the permit where it is required.
When can the rebuild start?
Once every room reads dry and you and your carrier agree on the scope. Then we order materials and give you dates we hold to. Call or text (815) 585-1750 any time to ask where things stand.
Do you take restoration jobs in the towns next to Elmhurst?
We do, in Villa Park, Oak Brook, Addison and Lombard as well.
