Sewage Backup Cleanup in Wheaton, IL

Sewage backup cleanup in Wheaton

When sewage comes up, the soft materials it soaked do not get dried and kept. Carpet, pad, the bottom of the drywall and the insulation come out and are hauled off, and the hard surfaces left behind are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial. Drying equipment is sized to the room, and we take moisture readings every day it runs. ONIT Solutions handles that work and the rebuild after it.

We cover Wheaton from Roosevelt Road, Naperville Road and Main Street, and the streets around Wheaton College, downtown and the Illinois Prairie Path are all on our DuPage County route. If your basement is mostly storage, the first job is getting boxes, furniture and stored items off the wet floor. What can be saved is moved to a dry room and protected, and what is ruined is photographed before it goes, so it is on record for your claim. Clearing the floor that way also lets us clean and treat the concrete all the way to the walls.

What a Wheaton sewage cleanup includes

Contents moved and protected

Boxes, furniture and stored items are carried to a dry area so the floor can be cleaned.

Ruined items documented

Anything the backup ruined is photographed and listed before it is hauled away.

Extraction

We pull up the standing water across the whole floor, to the walls and under the stairs.

Removal

Carpet, pad, lower drywall and insulation the water reached are cut out and removed.

Concrete cleaned and treated

The slab and foundation walls are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial.

Rebuild

Drywall, insulation, flooring and paint go back once the readings show dry.

How the Wheaton job runs

You get the daily equipment rates in writing before setup, and we check that equipment every day. The photos, the list of ruined items, the readings and an itemized estimate all come to you, and the estimate is in the format carriers use. If we find more once things are moved, the added work is priced in writing for your approval. Rebuild dates go on the calendar once the scope is set, and we finish with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Wheaton: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay out of the basement and keep kids and pets upstairs. Do not run any water, which means no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher, until the backup is dealt with. You do not need to haul anything out yourself. If you can photograph it from the stairs, do that, then call or text (815) 585-1750.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewage in the basement?

Sometimes. Backup of sewers and drains is often covered only through a separate endorsement, so look at your policy or ask your agent. We do not promise coverage. What we do is give you and your carrier the photos, the list of ruined items, the readings and a line-by-line estimate.

Does Wheaton require a permit for the rebuild?

Cleanup and drying usually do not. Rebuilding walls, or plumbing and electrical in the rebuild, can, and we check with the City of Wheaton and pull the permit where the city requires it.

How long until the basement is back?

Moving contents, extraction, removal and cleaning come first. Drying runs until the readings show dry, and the rebuild follows once the scope is approved.

Do you take sewage calls outside Wheaton?

Yes. We also work in Glen Ellyn, Warrenville, Carol Stream and Lisle.
