Sewage backup cleanup for Homer Glen homes

Sewage is the dirtiest water a house can take on, so the cleanup follows stricter rules than a clean-water leak. Carpet, pad, the bottom of the drywall and the insulation behind it come out wherever the backup touched them, and we haul that debris away. Concrete, tile and other hard surfaces get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Then air movers and dehumidifiers dry the space, we check the readings each day, and ONIT Solutions rebuilds the room once it reads dry.

We cover Homer Glen every week, coming in on I-355 and working out along 143rd Street, 159th Street, Bell Road and Route 7. If your house sits on a large lot with a finished basement, a backup through the floor drain can reach carpet in several rooms before anyone goes downstairs. We pull that carpet and pad, cut the wet drywall, and set the drying to cover every room the water crossed, not only the one by the drain. Any rebuild permit goes through the village or Will County, depending on which office covers your lot.

Sewage Backup Cleanup by ONIT Solutions

What the cleanup includes in Homer Glen

Extraction first

We pump and vacuum the standing sewage off the floor before anyone walks through the rest of the basement.

Carpet and pad out

Carpet and pad the backup reached cannot be cleaned and kept, so we cut them out and haul them away.

Flood cuts on wet drywall

We remove the lower section of drywall and the insulation behind it wherever the water wicked up.

Hard surfaces treated

The concrete floor, tile and foundation walls are cleaned and then treated with an antimicrobial.

Drying across every wet room

Air movers and dehumidifiers are sized to each room, and we take moisture readings daily until it all reads dry.

Rooms rebuilt

Insulation, drywall, trim, flooring and paint go back in once the readings say dry.

How the work runs in Homer Glen

Before any equipment is set, you see the daily rates in writing. The cleanup and rebuild are written up line by line in the format insurance carriers use, and we can meet your adjuster at the house. If opening a wall shows something nobody could see, we price it in writing and you approve it before we touch it. Once the rebuild is on the calendar we work the days we said, and we walk the finished rooms with you at the end.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Homer Glen: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Stay off the wet area and keep kids and pets out of the basement until we have cleaned it. Do not run water down any drain in the house, which means no flushing, no laundry and no dishwasher, because it can push more water up through the floor drain. If you can do it from a dry spot, take photos for your claim.
Do you clean up sewage backups near Homer Glen?
Yes. We take these calls in Lockport, Lemont, New Lenox and Mokena too, around the clock.
Does my homeowners policy cover a sewer backup?
Only your policy can answer that. Sewer or water backup is often a separate endorsement on a homeowners policy, so check yours or ask your agent before you assume either way. We document the loss with photos and moisture readings regardless, and we never promise what a carrier will pay.
Will the rebuild need a permit in Homer Glen?
The cleanup and drying usually do not. Rebuild work that touches framing, wiring or plumbing often does, and we pull that permit from the village or Will County, whichever covers your address.
How long does a sewage cleanup take?
Removal and cleaning come first, and the drying runs until the daily readings show dry, which depends on how much of the basement the water reached. We schedule the rebuild after that and give you the dates in writing. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we can talk through what you are looking at.
