Sewage Backup Cleanup in Westmont, IL

Sewage backup cleanup for Westmont basements

Every sewage job we do follows one order. The water comes out first. Then anything porous it touched, such as carpet, pad, wet drywall and insulation, is removed, and the hard surfaces are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Drying equipment runs until the readings show dry, and ONIT Solutions rebuilds what was removed.

We cover Westmont, coming in on Ogden Avenue and Route 83 and working out to Cass Avenue, 55th Street and the blocks around the Metra station. If your basement is unfinished, with a laundry area, storage shelves and bare concrete, the cleanup centers on the slab and the foundation walls, and there may be nothing to rebuild at all. If it is finished, we take out the wet carpet, drywall and insulation and put the room back afterward. Either way, you see the plan in writing before we start.

What we handle in Westmont

Floor drain area cleaned

We extract the sewage around the drain and clean the slab out to where the water stopped.

Foundation walls treated

Concrete walls the water reached are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial.

Shelving and contents moved

We move what we can to a dry area so the floor under it can be cleaned.

Finished areas opened up

In a finished room, wet carpet, pad, drywall and insulation are cut out and hauled away.

Dehumidifiers sized to the space

Drying equipment is matched to the room, and we check it every day.

Repairs and rebuild

Whatever we removed, we put back, from insulation and drywall to flooring and paint.

Pricing and scheduling a Westmont cleanup

You see the plan and the daily equipment rates in writing before we start. Our estimate is itemized line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and we will meet your adjuster at the house if they ask. Extra work only happens after you approve a written price for it. We schedule any rebuild for set days, and the last step is a walkthrough with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Westmont: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay out of the wet area and keep kids and pets upstairs. Hold off on running water anywhere in the house, including toilets, the washer and the kitchen sink, because it all drains to the line that backed up. Call or text (815) 585-1750 when you are ready, and send a photo if you can.

Which towns near Westmont do you serve?

Downers Grove, Clarendon Hills, Darien and Willowbrook, along with Westmont.

Is a sewer backup covered by insurance?

Only if your policy includes it. Sewer or water backup coverage is often an endorsement you add to a homeowners policy, so check yours or ask your agent. We document the loss and write an itemized estimate, but we never promise what a carrier will pay.

Does Westmont require a permit after a sewage cleanup?

The cleanup itself usually does not. If the rebuild includes framing, wiring or plumbing work, the village may, and we pull the permit and schedule inspections.

How long does an unfinished basement take to clean up?

There is less to remove and rebuild than in a finished space, but drying still runs until the readings show dry. We check them daily and pull the equipment as soon as they do.
