Water and storm restoration in Western Springs

Found water in a wall or ceiling? Call or text (815) 585-1750 24/7, and we send a crew as soon as we can. We extract what we can reach, open wet cavities, and dry with air movers, dehumidifiers and wall-cavity drying, checking readings every day. Sewage, mold, smoke and storm damage get their own cleanup before the rebuild. When the house reads dry, ONIT Solutions rebuilds it, from insulation and drywall to trim and paint.

Western Springs is on our regular route off I-294 and Ogden Avenue, with jobs along Wolf Road and 55th Street and around the Metra station. In a hard winter, snow melting on a roof can refreeze at the eaves and form an ice dam, and the water backing up behind it can run down inside an exterior wall or through a ceiling. If your Western Springs house shows stains along the top of an outside wall after a thaw, that is often where to look. We meter the wall and ceiling, open what is wet, dry the cavity and replace the insulation before closing it back up.

Insurance & Restoration Work by ONIT Solutions

Western Springs restoration work

Ice dam leak repair

We open the wet section of wall or ceiling, dry the cavity, replace soaked insulation and rebuild the finish.

Wall-cavity drying

Drying equipment can push air into a closed wall cavity, so less drywall comes out when readings allow.

Burst pipe cleanup

Frozen or broken pipes get the water extracted and every wet surface dried and monitored.

Sewage cleanup

Backups from a floor drain or toilet are treated as contaminated, so porous materials come out and surfaces are cleaned and treated.

Mold and smoke work

Mold is removed inside containment under negative air, and smoke damage is cleaned or removed and sealed.

Insulation, drywall and paint

Once the wall reads dry, new insulation goes in and the drywall, trim and paint go back to match.

How a Western Springs job runs

Before any drying equipment goes in, you get its daily rate in writing. We visit every day to check the machines and log the readings, and the equipment comes out as soon as those readings show dry. You get copies of the photos, the readings and the estimate, which is written line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and we can meet the adjuster at the house. If you want something different in the rebuild, we price it on paper and wait until you okay it, then walk the finished rooms with you.

  • Ice dam leaks traced inside the wall

FAQ

Insurance & Restoration Work in Western Springs: questions

What should I do before you get here?
If a pipe burst, shut off the water at the main if you can reach it safely. Keep off wet floors near outlets and stay out from under a ceiling that is sagging or dripping. Move what you can, put a bucket under the drip, take photos, and call your insurance company.
Do you work in towns near Western Springs?
Yes. Hinsdale, La Grange, Burr Ridge and La Grange Park are on our regular route.
Is an ice dam leak covered by insurance?
It depends on your policy, so check it or ask your agent. We document where the water came in and what it damaged with photos and readings, and write the estimate line by line so the adjuster can follow it. We never promise coverage.
Does Western Springs require a permit for this work?
We check the rebuild scope with the village and pull whatever it requires, including permits for rebuilt framing, wiring or plumbing. Drying and removing wet materials usually do not need one.
When will the wall be closed back up?
Once the cavity reads dry and the new insulation is in. We check readings every day and set the rebuild dates in writing after that. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to start.
