Arlington Heights water damage, dried and rebuilt to match

Our water damage service covers extraction, drying, daily monitoring and the rebuild, with one company accountable for the whole job. We use air movers, dehumidifiers and wall-cavity drying to save what can be saved, and flood cuts where the drywall has to go. HEPA air scrubbers run while wet material is removed. When the readings show dry, we rebuild to match the walls, trim and floors around the damage.

We cover Arlington Heights, reaching it on Route 53, with Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway taking us through town past the downtown and the Metra station. Where an older Arlington Heights house still has plaster walls, water behaves differently than it does in drywall. Plaster on lath is dense, and it can often be dried in place with air pushed into the cavity, where drywall in that spot would have to be cut. If a section does come out, we patch it so the wall surface and the trim around it match the rest of the room.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What restoring an Arlington Heights room involves

Plaster drying

Where a house has plaster, we try drying it in place first and cut only what the readings say has to go.

Drywall flood cuts

Wet drywall is cut above the water line so the cavity dries and the patch has a straight edge.

Closed-cavity drying

Air is directed into closed wall cavities through holes hidden behind the trim or base.

Trim saved and reinstalled

Casing and base are removed with care so the original trim can go back up after the walls dry.

Framing treated

Framing that got wet is treated with antimicrobial before the wall is closed.

Matched finish

Patched walls and ceilings are textured, primed and painted so the repair blends with the room.

How an Arlington Heights water job proceeds

We look at the damage with you, find and stop the source, and give you the daily equipment rates in writing before drying begins. While the house dries, we write an itemized rebuild estimate and give you copies of everything we document. If opening a wall shows damage nobody could see, the added work is priced in writing and waits on your approval. The rebuild is scheduled once the meters show dry, and the job closes with a walkthrough of every repaired room.

  • Phone and text answered 24/7.
  • Plaster dried in place where it can be.
  • Original trim saved where possible.
  • Daily rates written before setup.
  • An itemized estimate with copies to you.
  • Repairs finished to match the room.
FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Arlington Heights: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Close the main water valve, or the valve at the fixture that failed. Keep lights off in any room where the ceiling is wet, and switch that circuit off at the panel if you can reach it from a dry spot. Move rugs and furniture out of the water and photograph the damage before cleanup.
Do you have to tear out my plaster walls?
Not always. Plaster can often be dried in place with air pushed into the cavity, and we cut out only the sections the readings say cannot dry. When a section does come out, we patch it to match the wall around it.
How long will drying take in my Arlington Heights house?
Usually a few days, and longer for plaster, soaked framing or a finished basement. The moisture readings decide when the equipment comes out, and we check them every day.
Do I need a permit from Arlington Heights to repair water damage?
Drying work does not usually need one, and drywall or plaster patching often does not either. Electrical, plumbing and structural work usually do. Where the village requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
Do you cover water damage near Arlington Heights?
Yes. We dry out and rebuild homes in Palatine, Rolling Meadows and Schaumburg as well. Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night.
