Sewage Backup Cleanup in Rolling Meadows, IL

Sewage backup cleanup in Rolling Meadows

We handle sewage differently from a clean water leak, because porous materials it reaches have to go. That means extracting the water, then removing the carpet, pad, any flooring it got under, the lower drywall and the insulation. Hard surfaces that stay are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. We dry the space with equipment sized to the room and rebuild once the readings show dry.

We cover Rolling Meadows in Cook County and reach it on Route 53, with Golf Road, Kirchoff Road and Algonquin Road crossing town. If your Rolling Meadows lower level has vinyl plank or laminate, a backup can run underneath the planks even when the top looks fine. Laminate swells and does not come back, and vinyl plank traps the water against the slab, so in most cases it all comes up. We clean and treat the slab, dry it, and test it for moisture before new flooring goes down.

What a Rolling Meadows sewage cleanup covers

Flooring pulled

Vinyl plank, laminate or carpet the water got under is pulled up so the slab can be reached.

Wet drywall and insulation out

The lower section of each wet wall comes out, along with the insulation behind it.

Slab cleaned and treated

The concrete is scrubbed and treated with antimicrobial once the flooring is up.

Drying sized to the room

Dehumidifiers and air movers are chosen for the size of the space and checked daily.

Slab moisture test

The slab is tested before new flooring goes down, so nothing is laid over a wet floor.

New floor and walls

Flooring of your choice goes in, plus drywall, base, trim and paint.

From cleanup to new floors

Before setup, we put the daily equipment rates in writing and list everything that has to come out. The equipment gets checked every day and comes out as soon as the readings show dry. The rebuild estimate is itemized in the format carriers use, and if more damage turns up, it is priced in writing and you approve it before we do it. Once the new floor and walls are in, we walk the space with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Rolling Meadows: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay off the wet flooring and keep kids and pets out of that room. Do not run any water down the drains in the house until the line is checked. If you can do it from a dry spot, take a few photos of the floor and where the water came up.

Will insurance cover the floors and cleanup?

It depends on your policy. Many homeowners policies only cover sewer or water backup through a separate endorsement, so check yours or ask your agent. We cannot promise coverage, but your carrier gets a line-by-line estimate, and you get copies of everything we send them.

How long before new floors go in?

New flooring goes in after the removal, cleaning and drying, and after the slab tests dry. Drying is tracked with readings every day, so it takes as long as the slab needs. Text a photo to (815) 585-1750 and we can tell you more about your floor.

Does Rolling Meadows require a permit for the rebuild?

It depends on the work. New framing, electrical or plumbing can need one, and where Rolling Meadows requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.

Do you serve towns near Rolling Meadows?
