Water Damage Restoration in Clarendon Hills

When water comes through a Clarendon Hills ceiling

A leak from an upstairs bathroom rarely stays in one spot. It runs along joists, soaks the insulation and drywall below, and can show up a room away from the fixture that failed. Our crew traces the wet area with moisture meters, opens the ceiling where it has to come out, and dries the joist bays with air movers and dehumidifiers. ONIT Solutions also does the rebuild, so the drywall, texture and paint go back after the readings come up dry.

We cover Clarendon Hills from Ogden Avenue, Route 83 and 55th Street, with the Metra station near the middle of town, all in DuPage County. Where a Clarendon Hills house has a full bath over the kitchen or living room, the ceiling below is where the damage shows first. If your ceilings are plaster rather than drywall, wet plaster can hold water and sag, so we check it carefully before deciding what stays and what comes out. Wet insulation in the ceiling bay usually comes out, since it dries poorly once it is soaked.

From the first call to a finished ceiling

We answer around the clock and send someone out as fast as we can. Equipment rates are given to you in writing before anything is plugged in, and we check every machine each day while it runs. After the joists and drywall test dry, we write the rebuild estimate, itemized. If opening the ceiling shows rot or damage nobody could see, you get photos and a written price to approve first. The last step is a walkthrough of the finished ceiling with you.
