Restoration work in Glen Ellyn, from the water to the rebuild

Twenty-four hours a day, you can call or text us and someone answers. We dispatch as fast as we can, get the water out, set drying equipment sized to the rooms, and read the moisture daily until the house is dry. ONIT Solutions handles the mitigation, the mold or soot cleanup when there is any, and the rebuild afterward. The insurance estimate is written in the line-by-line format carriers use, and copies come to you.

Glen Ellyn is a village we cover every week, by Roosevelt Road, Route 53 and Main Street, from Lake Ellyn and downtown out toward College of DuPage. Winter brings ice dams: snow melts on the roof, refreezes at the eaves, and the water backs up and runs down inside exterior walls and ceilings. If your Glen Ellyn house gets ice along the eaves, the stain on the ceiling usually shows up well after the insulation above it is soaked. We open what the readings say is wet, dry the wall and ceiling cavities, and replace the wet insulation before new drywall goes up.

Insurance & Restoration Work by ONIT Solutions

What a Glen Ellyn restoration job covers

Ice dam leak drying

Ceilings and exterior walls that took water from an ice dam are opened where they are wet and dried from the cavity.

Insulation replaced

Wet insulation in walls and ceilings is pulled and replaced, because soaked insulation does not dry back to what it was.

Extraction and air movers

Water on the floors is extracted, and air movers and dehumidifiers run with readings every day.

Drying heaters

In cold weather, drying heaters help the equipment pull moisture out of walls and floors.

Supplements

If the carrier's scope misses something, we explain it to you and send a supplement with photos.

Ceilings and walls rebuilt

New drywall, tape, texture or smooth finish, primer and paint go back to match the rest of the room.

How a Glen Ellyn restoration job runs

We walk the damage with you and give you the daily equipment rates in writing before the first machine goes in. The equipment is checked every day and comes out once the readings show dry. During drying we write the rebuild estimate, and anything added later, by the carrier or by what we find behind a wall, is priced in writing for your approval. We book the rebuild around the days we said and close with a walkthrough of the finished rooms.

FAQ

Insurance & Restoration Work in Glen Ellyn: questions

What should I do before you get here?
For a leak inside, shut off the water at the main if you can reach it without walking through deep water. Do not stand on wet floors near outlets or under a sagging ceiling. Move what you can out of the way, take photos of the ceiling, walls and floor, and call your insurance company to open the claim.
What is a supplement?
A supplement is an added request to the carrier when its scope leaves out work the repair needs, like the insulation behind a wet ceiling. We explain the gap to you, then send the supplement with photos and readings. The carrier decides what it approves, and you see every request we send.
Does a Glen Ellyn ceiling or wall rebuild need a permit?
Replacing drywall and paint generally does not, but framing, electrical or plumbing work in the rebuild usually does. We check with the Village of Glen Ellyn and pull the permit where it is required.
How long does it take to dry an ice dam leak?
It depends on how long the water ran and what it soaked. We read the walls and ceilings every day and pull equipment as soon as they read dry, and the rebuild is scheduled once the scope is agreed. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get it started.
Do you work in towns around Glen Ellyn?
Yes, we take restoration calls in Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights and Lisle.
