Water damage restoration in Elmhurst

The start of a water job is usually about your belongings as much as the building. We move furniture and boxes out of the wet area and protect them in another part of the house, then extract the water and set drying equipment. Wet carpet and pad come out where they cannot be dried, and drywall is cut above the waterline when the readings call for it. Everything is logged daily, and once it reads dry, ONIT Solutions does the rebuild.

We work in Elmhurst every week, coming off I-290 and I-294 and along York Road, North Avenue and St. Charles Road, past downtown Elmhurst, the Metra station and Elmhurst University, in DuPage County. If your refrigerator has an ice maker line, a cracked fitting behind it can leak under the kitchen floor for a long time before it shows. That water often finds its way to the basement ceiling or the top of a basement wall below the kitchen. We trace it from the fridge down, so the drying covers both floors and not only the puddle you can see.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What we take care of in an Elmhurst water loss

Contents moved and protected

Furniture, rugs and boxes are moved out of the wet area and covered elsewhere in the house.

Two-level leak tracing

We follow the water from the source down to the floor or ceiling below it.

Carpet and pad removal

Soaked pad is pulled and hauled off, and carpet goes with it where it cannot be saved.

Kitchen floor lifted where needed

Flooring around the fridge comes up so the subfloor under it can dry.

Basement ceiling opened

Wet drywall below the kitchen is cut out so the joists can dry.

Rebuild on both levels

Kitchen flooring, basement ceiling, drywall and paint put back.

How an Elmhurst water job runs

We dispatch as fast as we can, and the first visit covers moving contents, extraction, photos and setup. Daily equipment rates are written out before anything is set. We check the machines each day and remove them when the readings show dry. The rebuild estimate is itemized for both floors, and any change gets a written price you approve before we do it.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Elmhurst: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Pull the fridge out if you can and close the valve on the ice maker line, or shut the main. Move anything stored in the basement under the kitchen. If a basement ceiling is sagging, stay out from under it. Snap photos of the line, the floor and the ceiling below before you clean up.
Do you cover towns around Elmhurst?
Yes. We take water damage work in Villa Park, Oak Brook, Addison and Lombard.
Does Elmhurst require permits for water damage repairs?
Drying and replacing drywall or flooring usually do not. When the rebuild changes electrical, plumbing or framing, the city may require a permit, and we pull it where required.
How long will my kitchen be torn up?
The kitchen floor and the ceiling below dry together, usually over several days. When the readings show dry, we schedule the rebuild and give you dates in writing. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get started.
Do you move my furniture to a storage unit?
No. We move and protect contents inside your house, away from the wet area. We do not pack out or clean contents off-site.
