Sewage Backup Cleanup in Lombard, IL

Sewage backup cleanup in Lombard

Cleaning up after a sewage backup comes down to two lists. The first is everything porous it reached, including carpet, pad, drywall bottoms and insulation, and that list comes out and is hauled away. The second is hard surfaces like concrete, tile and framing, which are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. After both, the space is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers, readings are taken daily, and ONIT Solutions does the rebuild.

Lombard is on our regular route, reached by I-355, Roosevelt Road, St. Charles Road and Main Street, from the Metra station to the streets around Lilacia Park. If your finished basement has vinyl plank floors, sewage usually gets into the seams and under the planks, so the floor comes up and the slab beneath gets cleaned and treated. Ceramic tile set in mortar is different, and where the tile and grout are sound, we can clean and treat it in place. A meter on the slab and the walls tells us which way to go.

What is included in a Lombard sewage cleanup

Extraction

Standing water is removed from the floor and out of the plank seams before cleaning starts.

Plank flooring lifted

Vinyl plank or laminate the sewage got under comes up so the slab can be reached.

Tile assessed

Ceramic tile with sound grout is cleaned and treated in place when the readings allow it.

Drywall and insulation out

The wet lower drywall and the insulation behind it are cut out and hauled away.

Slab treated

The concrete under the floor is cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before drying.

New floor and walls

We install new flooring, drywall, trim and paint once the space reads dry.

How a Lombard sewage job runs

We start by writing down the daily rates for the equipment we set, before it runs. You get copies of the photos, the moisture readings and the itemized estimate, which is laid out the way carriers price a job. If pulling the floor turns up more damage, that extra work is priced in writing for your approval. Once the slab and walls read dry, we book the rebuild around the days we said and walk it with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Lombard: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay off the floor and keep kids and pets out of the basement. Do not run water in the house, so no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher, because it all heads to the drain line that backed up. If you can photograph it without stepping in the water, do that. Then call or text (815) 585-1750.

Does my policy cover a sewer backup?

Check for a sewer or water backup endorsement, because many homeowners policies only cover backups when one was added. Your agent can confirm it. We never promise coverage, but we meet the adjuster if they want and send a supplement when their scope misses something, like the slab cleaning under a floor.

Will Lombard require a permit?

Cleanup, removal and drying usually do not. Rebuild work involving framing, plumbing or electrical can, and we check with the Village of Lombard and pull the permit where the village requires one.

When can we use the basement again?

After the removal and cleaning, drying runs until the readings show dry. The new floor and walls go in once you approve the scope and the flooring you pick has arrived.

Do you cover towns near Lombard?

Yes. We handle sewage backups in Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Downers Grove and Addison too.
