Sewage Backup Cleanup in New Lenox, IL

Cleaning up a sewage backup in a New Lenox home

After a sewage backup, every material in the room falls into one of two groups: what can be cleaned and what cannot. Carpet, pad, insulation and the bottom of the drywall are in the second group, so we cut them out and take them away. Tile, concrete, studs and fixtures are in the first, and we scrub them and treat them with antimicrobial while HEPA scrubbers run. Drying follows with daily readings, and then ONIT Solutions rebuilds what was removed.

We work in New Lenox every week, on I-80, Route 30, Cedar Road and Laraway Road in Will County. If there is a full bathroom in your basement, a backup can come up through the shower drain or the toilet before it ever reaches the floor drain. The vanity base usually comes out, the toilet gets pulled so we can clean and treat underneath it, and the tile floor and shower walls are scrubbed and treated. Once it reads dry, the toilet goes back on a new wax ring and a new vanity goes in.

What we do on a New Lenox sewage backup

Water removed

Extraction comes first, from the bathroom out through every room the water reached.

Basement bathroom cleanup

Carpet, pad, drywall bottoms and insulation are removed and bagged.

Air scrubbing and drying

HEPA air scrubbers, air movers and dehumidifiers run, with readings taken every day.

Photos for your file

How a New Lenox sewage job is run

The estimate is free, written before work starts, and laid out line by line in the format insurance carriers use. Each drying machine has a daily rate in writing before setup and gets checked every day. Should the backup turn out to reach behind the shower or under the floor, we price it in writing and wait for your yes. After the readings show dry, we book the rebuild and walk it with you when the last coat of paint is on.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in New Lenox: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Keep kids and pets away from the basement and do not step into the water. Stop using every drain in the house, which means no flushing upstairs, no showers and no laundry. If the shower or toilet downstairs is where it came up, close that door and call or text us.

Is a sewer backup covered by insurance?

Your policy decides that, not us. Sewer or water backup is often a separate endorsement on a homeowners policy, so check your declarations page or ask your agent. We do not promise coverage, but we can meet your adjuster, and our estimate is written line by line in the format carriers use.

Do I need a New Lenox permit for the bathroom rebuild?

Cleaning and drying usually do not need one. If the rebuild moves plumbing, adds wiring or replaces framing, the village often requires a permit, and we pull it and schedule the inspections where New Lenox requires them.

How long will my basement bathroom be out of use?

It depends on how much soaked in behind the tile and under the floor. Cleaning and removal go first, drying runs until the readings show dry, and the rebuild starts on the days we agree on once you approve the scope.
