Storm & Hail Damage Repair in Glen Ellyn, IL

Storm damage repair in Glen Ellyn

A water stain spreading across a ceiling during a storm needs two fixes: drying it out and closing up where the water got in. ONIT Solutions extracts the water, opens and dries the ceiling and the wall cavities around it, and rebuilds the drywall, insulation and paint. Outside, our crew repairs the siding, trim, soffit, fascia and gutters that let the water in. If it came through the roof, a roofer handles the roof and we handle everything else.

We cover Glen Ellyn off Roosevelt Road, Route 53 and Main Street in DuPage County, from downtown and the Metra station out past Lake Ellyn and College of DuPage. If your house still has plaster ceilings, water behind the plaster can loosen the keys that hold it to the lath, so a stained plaster ceiling needs a closer look than drywall does. We check whether it is still bonded before deciding what to save. Loose sections come down and are rebuilt in drywall or skim-coated so the repair blends with the rest of the ceiling.

Storm & Hail Damage Repair by ONIT Solutions

What we repair after a Glen Ellyn storm

Ceiling drying

The ceiling is opened where it has to be and dried with air movers and dehumidifiers, with readings logged daily.

Plaster checked for bond

Wet plaster ceilings are checked to see if they are still attached before anything is saved or removed.

Ceiling rebuild

Removed sections are rebuilt in drywall or skim-coated, then finished and painted to blend in.

Insulation replaced

Wet attic or wall insulation is pulled and replaced once the framing tests dry.

Exterior openings sealed

Damaged siding and trim on the outside are repaired so the water stops at the wall.

Gutters, soffit and fascia

Gutters and eaves damaged by wind are reattached or replaced.

How a Glen Ellyn ceiling and storm repair goes

We answer at any hour and dispatch as fast as we can. Drying comes first, with daily equipment rates in writing before setup, and the rebuild estimate follows once the readings show dry. If the ceiling opens up and shows wet framing or more damage, you see the photos and a written price before we go further. We book the rebuild on the days we give you and walk the finished rooms with you.

FAQ

Storm & Hail Damage Repair in Glen Ellyn: questions

Water is dripping from my ceiling right now. What should I do?

Put a bucket under it, move furniture and electronics out of the way, and keep people out from under a ceiling that is sagging. If water is near a light fixture, turn that circuit off at the panel. Then call or text us.

Do you cover towns near Glen Ellyn?

Yes. We take storm calls in Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights and Lisle too.

Does a ceiling repair in Glen Ellyn need a permit?

Drywall and paint usually do not. Framing or electrical work may, depending on the village, and where a permit is required we pull it.

How long does a wet ceiling take to dry?

Often several days, depending on how much water came in and what is above the ceiling. We take readings every day and pull the equipment once it is dry.

Can you help with the insurance claim?

Yes. We document the damage with photos and readings, write the estimate line by line, and meet the adjuster if they want. We cannot promise coverage. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get started.
