Sewage Backup Cleanup in Wood Dale, IL

Sewage backup cleanup in Wood Dale

We start a sewage cleanup by getting the water out and the ruined materials with it. Carpet, pad, drywall bottoms and insulation that the backup soaked are cut out, bagged and hauled away. The slab, framing and any tile stay, and they are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. Dehumidifiers and air movers then dry the space, and the rebuild starts when the readings say it is ready.

We cover Wood Dale off Route 83, along Irving Park Road, Thorndale Avenue and Wood Dale Road in DuPage County. If your Wood Dale house is a split-level, the lower level may hold the family room, the laundry and a half bath a few steps below the main floor, so a backup there reaches living space right away. Paneling, carpet and the lower drywall in that room usually all come out. We dry the slab and the wall cavities, then rebuild the room with whatever flooring you want down there next.

What a Wood Dale sewage cleanup includes

Lower level extraction

Sewage water is pulled up from the lower-level floor, including under furniture we move out of the way.

Paneling and drywall out

Wall paneling and drywall bottoms the water reached are removed, with the insulation behind them.

Half bath floor cleared

The toilet and vanity are pulled where needed so the floor beneath them can be cleaned and treated.

Slab treated

The concrete is scrubbed and treated with antimicrobial before any drying equipment runs.

Wall-cavity drying

Air is pushed into the open wall cavities so the framing dries along with the room.

New flooring

Carpet, vinyl plank or tile, your choice, goes down once the slab reads dry.

Our process for Wood Dale homes

You will see our daily equipment rates in writing before anything is set, and the equipment gets checked every day it runs. While it dries, we write the rebuild estimate line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and you get a copy, not just the adjuster. Hidden damage is priced in writing and approved by you before we fix it. We book the rebuild around the days we said, then walk the finished lower level with you.

FAQ

Sewage Backup Cleanup in Wood Dale: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Stay off the lower level and keep kids and pets upstairs. Do not run water down any drain in the house, since the lowest drain is where it comes back up. If you can do it from the stairs, take a few photos of the water.

Does a homeowners policy cover sewage backup?

Often only with a sewer or water backup endorsement, which is a separate add-on on many policies. Check your declarations page or ask your agent. We will not promise coverage, but we will meet your adjuster at the house if they want to see the damage.

How long until we have our family room back?

Removal and cleaning go first, then drying, which runs until the daily readings show dry. The rebuild starts once you approve the scope and the flooring you picked is in. Call (815) 585-1750 and we can talk through what yours needs.

Will the rebuild need a permit in Wood Dale?

It can, for new framing, electrical or plumbing. Where Wood Dale requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
