Water Damage Restoration in Bloomingdale

Call or text (815) 585-1750 any time, weekends and the middle of the night included, when water shows up in your Bloomingdale home. We dry the walls, ceilings and insulation it reached and rebuild them to match.

Drying and rebuilding Bloomingdale homes after a leak

Water damage restoration aims to save as much of the house as the water allows. We extract the water, open only what has to be opened, and dry the rest in place with air movers, dehumidifiers and wall-cavity drying. Daily moisture readings show what is drying and what is not. Then ONIT Solutions rebuilds every wall, ceiling and floor that had to come out.

Bloomingdale is on our regular route, and Lake Street, Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale Road and Gary Avenue get us across this DuPage County village. In a hard winter, an ice dam can push melt water under the shingles and down inside an exterior wall or through a bedroom ceiling. The roof is a roofer's job, but the inside is ours. Wet insulation has to come out, because it holds water against the framing and stops it from drying, so we pull it, dry the wall or ceiling, and replace it before closing up.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What a Bloomingdale leak repair includes

Ice dam leaks

Water that came in at the eaves is traced through the ceiling and wall, so we dry everywhere it went and not just the stain.

Wet insulation out

Soaked insulation in the wall or ceiling is removed, since it holds moisture against the framing.

Ceiling and wall drying

Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing and any drywall that can be saved in place.

Clean air during tear-out

Where wet material is cut out, HEPA air scrubbers filter the air in the room while we work.

Readings you can see

Moisture on the framing is logged daily, and we share every reading with you.

Insulation and drywall rebuild

New insulation, drywall, tape, texture and paint close the ceiling or wall back up.

The order of work on a Bloomingdale water job

Our first job on site is to stop the spread and get drying equipment running, with the daily rate for each machine written out before setup. We write the rebuild estimate while the house dries, itemized line by line, and you get copies of the photos and readings along with your insurance company. Changes that come up once a wall is open are priced in writing and approved by you before the work happens. We set the rebuild dates once the meters show dry and finish with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Bloomingdale: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Put a bucket or towels under the drip and move furniture and electronics away from the wet spot. If the ceiling is sagging or water is coming from a light fixture, turn that circuit off at the breaker and keep people out of the room. Take photos of the ceiling and the wall, then call or text us.
Do you fix the roof after an ice dam leak?
No, we do not do roofing. We dry and rebuild the inside of the house, including the insulation, drywall, trim and paint, and you will want a roofer to look at the eaves.
How long will the drying equipment be in my Bloomingdale home?
Until the moisture readings show dry. We check the equipment daily and take it out as soon as the numbers are there, which usually means a few days for a wet ceiling or wall.
Do I need a village permit to rebuild after the leak?
Not usually for drywall, insulation and paint. Electrical work or structural repairs usually need one. Where Bloomingdale requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
Do you cover water damage outside Bloomingdale?
Yes. We also work in Roselle, Glendale Heights, Carol Stream and Itasca. Call or text (815) 585-1750 any hour.
