Sewage Backup Cleanup in Palos Park, IL

Sewage backup cleanup in Palos Park

A backup from a floor drain or toilet is cleaned in a specific order. First the water comes out, then the porous materials it touched, which means carpet, pad, the lower part of the drywall and insulation. Hard surfaces get cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial, and drying equipment runs with readings taken every day. ONIT Solutions then rebuilds the room, so you are not hiring a second company to finish it.

We work in Palos Park every week, coming in on Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road between the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves. If your house sits on a wooded lot with big trees near the sewer line, roots are one of the things a plumber will look for when the main line backs up. That line has to be cleared before the house uses water again, and we can start the cleanup inside while it is handled. Once the line is clear, the rebuild can go ahead.

Palos Park sewage cleanup scope

Water removal

We extract the standing water and what came up with it before any cleaning or cutting starts.

Materials that cannot be saved

Carpet, pad, the wet section of drywall and the insulation behind it are removed and taken away.

Antimicrobial treatment

Concrete, tile and wood framing that stay are cleaned and treated.

Air scrubbing

HEPA air scrubbers run in the work area while material is removed.

Drying and monitoring

Dehumidifiers and air movers run with daily readings, and they come out once the readings show dry.

Rebuild and paint

We replace the insulation, drywall, flooring and trim and paint to match.

How a Palos Park job is run

Daily equipment rates are in writing before setup, so you know what each day of drying costs. You get the photos, the readings and an itemized estimate, and we will meet your adjuster at the house if they want. Anything added after a wall is opened is priced in writing and waits on your okay. We set rebuild dates around the days we said and walk the finished space with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Palos Park: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay off the area and keep kids and pets away from it. Do not run water anywhere in the house, including toilets, sinks and the washer, because it all leaves through the line that backed up. Take a photo if you can do it from a dry spot. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will walk you through the next step.

Is sewer backup covered by homeowners insurance?

Often it is only covered if your policy has a sewer or water backup endorsement, so check yours or ask your agent. We do not promise coverage or payout. We do write the estimate line by line in the format carriers use, and you get the photos and readings too.

Does the Village of Palos Park require a permit?

The cleanup and drying usually do not need one. Rebuilding walls, or plumbing and electrical work as part of the rebuild, can, and we pull the permit where the village requires it.

How long will it take?

It depends on how much material the water reached. Drying runs until the daily readings show dry, and the rebuild is scheduled once the scope is approved and the materials are in.
