Water Damage Restoration in Homer Glen

Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night when a pipe, water heater or appliance lets go in your Homer Glen house. We get the water out, dry the structure and then put the rooms back together.

Water damage cleanup and repair for Homer Glen homes

Water damage restoration has two halves: getting the house dry, and then rebuilding what the water ruined. ONIT Solutions handles both, so you are not hunting for a second company once the fans go quiet. We extract standing water, pull out wet carpet, pad and baseboard, and set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the room. Moisture readings are taken every day, and the equipment leaves as soon as those readings show dry.

We cover Homer Glen in Will County, reaching it on I-355 and then working out along 143rd Street, 159th Street, Bell Road and Route 7. Lots here tend to run large, and the houses on them come in every layout. If your water heater and laundry sit in a utility room beside finished space, a failed tank can send water under the bottom plate of the wall and into the next room's carpet before anyone sees it. We read the floor and the lower wall on both sides of that wall, not just the room where the water started.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What water damage restoration in Homer Glen includes

Water extraction

Standing water comes out with extraction equipment first, from carpet, hard floors and the utility room floor.

Carpet, pad and baseboard removal

Wet pad holds water like a sponge, so it comes out along with any baseboard that has soaked up moisture, and we haul the debris away.

Air movers and dehumidifiers

We size the drying setup to the room, using LGR, conventional or desiccant dehumidifiers depending on the conditions.

Wall cavity drying

When water has wicked up behind the drywall, we dry the cavity directly instead of waiting for it to dry from the surface.

Daily moisture readings

Someone checks the equipment and records readings every day, and you get copies of those numbers.

The rebuild

Once the readings say dry, we replace the insulation, drywall, trim, flooring and paint that had to come out.

How a Homer Glen water damage job runs

Before the first air mover is plugged in, you see the daily equipment rates in writing. As the house dries, we write an itemized rebuild estimate, line by line in the pricing format insurance carriers use, and you get a copy of it along with our photos and readings. If opening a wall turns up something nobody could see, such as a rotted sill plate, we price it in writing and wait for your approval. The rebuild is scheduled once the scope is agreed, and we finish with a room-by-room walkthrough.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Homer Glen: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Shut off the water. For a water heater, close the cold supply valve on top of the tank and turn the heater off; for anything else, use the fixture's valve or the main. If water is near outlets or cords, switch off that circuit at the panel while standing somewhere dry. Then take photos and lift rugs and anything else that can wick water off the floor.
How long does drying take?
The moisture readings decide, not the calendar. Most rooms take several days, and we check the equipment and the numbers every day. The rebuild is scheduled once the readings show dry and the scope is agreed.
Does the rebuild need a permit in Homer Glen?
Drywall, paint and flooring usually do not. Electrical, plumbing and structural repairs can, so we confirm with the building department that covers your address and pull any permit before that work starts.
Do you handle water damage outside Homer Glen?
Yes. We dry out and rebuild houses in Lockport, Lemont, Mokena and New Lenox too, and one number covers all of them: (815) 585-1750, call or text.
Can I choose my own contractor for the claim?
In most cases you can, and the deductible on the claim is yours either way. We write the estimate in the format carriers use and meet the adjuster at the house if they want to walk it. We never promise what a policy will cover.
