Sewage Backup Cleanup in La Grange, IL

La Grange sewage backups, handled start to finish

Most of a sewage cleanup is sorting. Building materials that soak it up, like carpet, pad, insulation and the bottom of the drywall, are removed and hauled off. Hard surfaces, like the slab, tile and foundation walls, are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Once the room is dried and our readings confirm it, ONIT Solutions rebuilds it.

We work in La Grange every week, coming in on I-294 and along Ogden Avenue, La Grange Road and 47th Street, around downtown and the Metra station. If your basement holds storage, holiday boxes and a second fridge, the first step is moving what the water missed to a dry room and covering it. Items the water did reach get photographed for your claim before anything else happens, and we talk with you about each one rather than deciding for you. Then the cleanup moves to the floor and walls.

How a La Grange cleanup is priced and finished

Daily equipment rates are put in writing before setup, and we check the equipment every day. The removal, drying and rebuild are itemized in the format insurance carriers use, and copies of the photos, readings and estimate come to you, not just the insurer. If we find more once the walls are open, we price it in writing and wait for your approval. We schedule the rebuild for set days, then walk the finished space with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in La Grange: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Keep off the wet floor and keep the kids and pets out of the basement. Stop using the drains: no flushing, no showers, no laundry, no dishes. If you can get to things the water missed without walking through it, carry them upstairs, and leave the rest for us to photograph.

Do you clean up sewage backups near La Grange?

Yes. La Grange Park, Western Springs, Hinsdale and Burr Ridge are all covered, and calls and texts are answered 24/7 at (815) 585-1750.

Will my insurance cover my basement and the things stored in it?

That depends on your policy. Sewer or water backup is often a separate endorsement, so check yours or ask your agent. We photograph the building damage and the affected belongings for your claim, but we never promise what a carrier will pay.

Does La Grange require a permit for the rebuild?

The cleanup and drying usually do not. If the rebuild includes framing, wiring or plumbing work, the village may require a permit, and we pull it and schedule the inspections.

How long will the basement be torn up?

Through removal, drying and the rebuild. The drying ends when our daily readings show dry, and then we give you rebuild dates in writing.
