Water Damage Restoration in Carol Stream

Call or text (815) 585-1750 at any hour when water gets loose in your Carol Stream home. We get it out, dry the structure with meter readings to prove it, and put the rooms back.

Getting water out of Carol Stream homes and putting them back

Water damage restoration starts with stopping the source and pulling out the standing water with extraction equipment. Then we set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the rooms that got wet, and we take moisture readings every day until the numbers say dry. Drywall, base or carpet pad that cannot be saved comes out, and anything that can dry in place stays. Once the structure is dry, ONIT Solutions rebuilds what was removed, from the insulation and drywall to the trim and paint.

We cover Carol Stream, and North Avenue, Gary Avenue and Army Trail Road get our trucks to most of the village's streets. It is a DuPage County village where townhomes and single-family homes sit side by side. If you are in a Carol Stream townhome, water from a burst pipe or a washer hose can cross into the unit next door through the shared wall, so the readings have to cover both sides of it. Tell the association early, because the work may involve their paperwork as well as yours.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What water damage restoration covers in Carol Stream

Extraction

Standing water comes up with extraction equipment first, from carpet, hard floors and the low spots where it collects.

Air movers and dehumidifiers

Drying equipment is sized to each wet room, and the daily rate for every piece is written down for you before it is set.

Shared-wall readings

If your home shares a wall with a neighbor, we take readings on that wall and note where the water went.

Flood cuts

Wet drywall is cut out above the water line so the framing behind it can dry and the insulation can be replaced.

Daily monitoring

Someone checks the equipment and logs moisture readings every day, and the machines come out as soon as the readings show dry.

The rebuild

Insulation, drywall, base, flooring and paint go back in after the structure is dry, finished to match the rooms around them.

How a Carol Stream water job runs

The first visit is about stopping the damage: find the source, extract the water, and set drying equipment with the daily rates in writing. While the house dries, we photograph and measure what has to come out and write the rebuild estimate line by line, and you get copies of the photos and readings. Anything we find behind a wall that changes the scope is priced in writing and waits for your approval. When the readings say dry, we schedule the rebuild around the days we said and walk every room with you at the end.

  • Calls and texts answered around the clock.
  • Daily equipment rates in writing before setup.
  • Moisture readings logged every day.
  • Copies of the photos, readings and estimate for you.
  • Rebuild estimate written line by line.
  • A final walkthrough of every room.
FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Carol Stream: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Shut off the water at the main valve, or at the fixture if you know which one failed. If water is near outlets or the electrical panel, stay out of that area. Otherwise, lift what you can off the wet floor, set furniture legs on foil or wood blocks, and take photos of everything before it moves.
How long does drying take in a Carol Stream house?
Most jobs dry in a few days, but the meters decide, not the calendar. Soaked framing and dense materials take longer than a wet carpet. We check readings every day and pull the equipment as soon as they show dry.
Does the rebuild need a permit in Carol Stream?
Drying work does not usually need one. Replacing drywall often does not either, but electrical, plumbing or structural repairs usually do. Where the village requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
My townhome shares a wall with a neighbor. Can you check their side?
With their permission, yes. We take readings on both sides of a shared wall so the drying plan covers wherever the water went, and both households can have copies of the readings.
Do you handle water damage near Carol Stream?
Yes. We also dry out and rebuild homes in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights and Bloomingdale. Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night.
