Water on wood floors and trim in Lockport

Water damage restoration covers the work from the first extraction to the last coat of paint. We pull up the water, set drying equipment, and read the floors, walls and framing every day until they are dry. What dried well stays, and what did not gets removed and rebuilt, whether that is drywall, flooring, trim or doors. You get the photos and readings so you can see why each call was made.

We cover Lockport every week in Will County, by Route 7, Route 171, State Street and Farrell Road, from downtown near the I&M Canal out across the rest of the city. If your Lockport house has solid wood floors, water at the edges makes the boards cup, with the sides higher than the middle. Boards sometimes flatten back as they dry, and sometimes they do not, so we read the wood and the subfloor each day and wait for the numbers before deciding. Painted wood trim and doors that took water get the same treatment: dried and checked first, replaced and matched only when they will not come back.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What we do after water damage in Lockport

Extraction off wood and tile

Water is pulled from the floor surface and the seams before it soaks further into the boards.

Wood floor readings

We read the boards and the subfloor each day to see whether they are drying back toward normal.

Trim and door removal

Wet base, casing and door jambs come off where needed so the wall and framing behind them can dry.

Desiccant or LGR drying

We pick dehumidifiers that suit wood floors and the space, and adjust them as the readings change.

Photo record

Each step is photographed so you and your adjuster can see what was saved and what was not.

Floors, trim and doors rebuilt

Replaced boards, base, casing and doors are installed and finished to match the room.

We work the days we booked and do a final walkthrough with you.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Lockport: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Close the main water valve or the shutoff at the fixture. Wipe standing water off wood floors and pull area rugs off them, since a wet rug holds water against the boards. Keep the heat at a normal setting, move furniture off wet spots, and take photos before cleaning up.
Do I need a City of Lockport permit?
For drying, no. For the rebuild, it depends on the scope: electrical work and framing usually need one, while flooring and trim usually do not. We confirm with the City of Lockport and pull permits where required.
Which towns near Lockport do you serve?
We take water damage work in Homer Glen, Romeoville, Crest Hill and New Lenox as well.
How long do wood floors take to dry?
Longer than drywall, because wood gives up moisture slowly. We read the boards and subfloor every day and leave equipment only as long as the readings keep moving toward dry.
Do you only do the drying, or the repairs too?
Both. ONIT Solutions does the mitigation and the rebuild, including drywall, insulation, flooring, trim, doors, cabinets and paint. That means one company accountable from the first reading to the walkthrough. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get started.
