Water damage on the main floor in Glendale Heights

When a water heater or supply line fails on a main floor, water moves across the flooring and wicks up into the bottom of every wall it touches. We extract it, pull baseboards, and remove wet carpet, pad or flooring that is holding water against the floor. Drywall that has wicked water is flood cut, and the room is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers until daily readings show dry. Then ONIT Solutions rebuilds the walls, base and floors.

Glendale Heights is on our regular route along North Avenue, Army Trail Road, Bloomingdale Road and Glen Ellyn Road in DuPage County. If your home sits on a concrete slab with the water heater in a closet off the hall, a leak there can run under the walls into bedrooms and the hallway. Concrete dries slowly and can hold water under vinyl plank or carpet, so we test the slab before anything new goes down. New flooring over a wet slab traps the moisture, which is why that reading matters more than how the surface looks.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What a Glendale Heights water job includes

Extraction across rooms

Water is pulled from every room it reached, not only where it started.

Baseboard removal

Base comes off so the wall bottoms can dry and the flood cut stays clean.

Flood cuts

Drywall that wicked water is cut above the wet line and hauled off.

Slab moisture testing

The concrete is tested before new vinyl plank, laminate or carpet goes over it.

Sized drying

Air movers and dehumidifiers chosen for the rooms and the amount of water.

Rebuild

New drywall, base, flooring and paint to match the rest of the house.

How the Glendale Heights job is run

You reach us 24/7 and we dispatch as fast as we can. Before setup, the daily equipment rates are on paper for you, and the machines are checked every day they run. They come out once the walls and slab read dry, and we write the rebuild estimate line by line. Hidden damage found when the base or drywall comes off is photographed and priced in writing for your approval first.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Glendale Heights: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Shut the cold supply valve at the water heater and turn off its gas or power, or close the main if you are unsure. Move furniture and anything on the floor out of the hallway and bedrooms the water reached. Keep pets and kids off wet floors. Photograph the heater and each wet room for your claim.
Which nearby towns do you serve?
We also cover Glen Ellyn, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream and Addison for water damage.
Does Glendale Heights require a permit for this work?
Drying, drywall and flooring work usually do not. If the rebuild includes plumbing, electrical or framing, the village may require a permit, and we pull it where required.
How long does a slab take to dry?
Concrete usually takes longer than the drywall around it, and we will not lay new flooring until it tests dry. You get the readings as they come in and a written schedule for the rebuild once it does. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to start the drying.
Is this the kind of water damage a flood policy covers?
Usually not. Flood coverage is for surface water coming in from outside, and it is typically a separate policy. A failed water heater or pipe inside the house is a different kind of claim, so check your homeowners policy and talk to your carrier.
