Insurance & Restoration Work in Palos Heights

Call or text (815) 585-1750, 24/7, when a drain backs up or a pipe bursts in your Palos Heights home, and we clean it out, dry it and rebuild it.

Palos Heights sewage, water and mold cleanup through the rebuild

Pick up the phone or send a text at any hour and we answer, then dispatch as fast as we can. Sewage backups, clean-water leaks, mold, fire and storm damage are all part of the work, from the first extraction to the final coat of paint. Contaminated water is handled differently from a clean leak, and we tell you up front what has to come out and why. The drying is monitored daily, and the rebuild is written up for your carrier line by line.

Palos Heights is a city we cover every week, by Route 83, Harlem Avenue, 127th Street and Ridgeland Avenue. A heavy rain can push the sewer back up through a basement floor drain or toilet, and that water is the most contaminated kind a house can take. If it reaches a finished room in a Palos Heights basement, the carpet, pad, lower drywall and insulation it touched all come out, while concrete and other hard surfaces get cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. Then we dry what is left and rebuild.

Insurance & Restoration Work by ONIT Solutions

What a Palos Heights backup or water job includes

Contaminated materials removed

Carpet, pad, drywall bottoms and insulation that sewage touched are bagged out and hauled away.

Hard surfaces cleaned

Concrete, tile and framing that stay are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial.

Negative air and HEPA

Negative air machines and HEPA scrubbers keep the work area from spreading into the rest of the house.

Drying and readings

Dehumidifiers and air movers run after the cleaning, with moisture read every day until it shows dry.

Paperwork for the claim

Photos, readings and the line-item estimate are ready for your claim, whether or not your policy has a backup endorsement.

Rebuilt once clean and dry

Insulation, drywall, base and flooring go back once the space is clean and dry.

How a Palos Heights backup cleanup runs

We set up only after you have the daily equipment rates in writing. Cleanup and drying come first, and while they run we measure the losses and write the estimate in the pricing format carriers use. Changes from the carrier's scope, or damage found once walls are open, are priced in writing and need your approval before we do them. We schedule the rebuild around the days we said and walk it with you at the end.

FAQ

Insurance & Restoration Work in Palos Heights: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Stay off the wet area, keep kids and pets away from it, and do not run water down any drain or flush toilets until it is cleared. If a supply pipe is leaking too, shut the main off if it is safe to reach. Keep away from wet floors near outlets, move what you can from the edge of the water, take photos, and call your insurer. Then call or text (815) 585-1750.
Can you save the carpet after a sewer backup?
No. Sewage is the most contaminated water a house can take, so the carpet, pad and other porous materials it touched come out. Hard surfaces like concrete and tile are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial, then dried.
Does a rebuild in Palos Heights after a backup need a permit?
Tear-out and cleaning usually do not. Rebuilding framing or changing plumbing or electrical generally does, so we check with the City of Palos Heights and pull the permit where it is required.
How long before the basement is usable again?
Cleanup and drying come first, and the daily readings tell us when the space is dry. The rebuild is scheduled once you and your carrier agree on the scope, and we hold to the dates we give you.
Do you handle sewage backups near Palos Heights?
Yes, in Palos Park, Orland Park and Willow Springs too.
