Water Damage Restoration in Oswego, IL

Slow leaks and floor damage in Oswego homes

Some water damage arrives all at once, and some builds for weeks behind a refrigerator or under a floor. Either way, the job starts with finding where the water went, extracting it and opening what has to dry. We set dehumidifiers and air movers for the size of the room, treat wet areas with antimicrobial, and track moisture every day. When the readings are dry, we install the flooring, base and drywall that had to come out.

Oswego, in Kendall County, is on our regular route by Route 34, Route 71, Orchard Road and Wolfs Crossing Road, with the Fox River running through it. If your Oswego home has a refrigerator with an ice maker, the thin supply line behind it can drip for a long time before the floor shows it. Hardwood cups, laminate swells at the seams, and tile can hide water in the subfloor below it. We check under the floor, not only the top, and give you a straight answer on whether it dries or gets replaced.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What an Oswego water damage job includes

Leak source traced

We trace the water back to the line or appliance it came from, so you know what needs fixing.

Floor readings through the layers

Meters check the flooring, the underlayment and the subfloor, since each one holds water differently.

Flooring removal where needed

Flooring that cannot dry flat is lifted so the subfloor beneath it can.

Antimicrobial on wet surfaces

Subfloor and framing that sat wet are treated before the new floor goes down.

Drying sized to the room

Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed for the room's size and how much moisture is in it.

New flooring, base and transitions

Replacement flooring goes in with base, shoe and transitions so it meets the rooms next to it.

How an Oswego water loss moves along

We take your call or text 24/7 and dispatch as fast as we can. Equipment rates per day are written out before setup, and we visit daily to read the moisture and adjust the equipment. Once it is dry, the flooring and rebuild are written up line by line, with anything we uncover priced in writing and approved by you before it is done. We set the install days, keep to them, and walk the finished floor with you.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Oswego: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Pull the refrigerator out only if you can do it safely, and close the valve on its water line, or the main shutoff if you cannot find it. Mop up what is on the surface, keep foot traffic off the wet floor, and take photos of the floor and the line. Leave the flooring in place for us, since the photos and readings matter for the claim.

Does the Village of Oswego need to issue a permit?

Not for drying or replacing flooring in most cases. If the rebuild touches electrical or framing, a permit may be needed, so we check with the Village of Oswego before that part starts.

Do you serve towns near Oswego?

Yes. We also handle water damage in Montgomery, Aurora and Naperville.

Can my floor be saved, and how long does that take?

Sometimes. If readings show the flooring and subfloor drying back to normal, we keep drying. If the boards have cupped hard or the seams have swelled, replacing them is usually the better repair. Either way, we decide from several days of readings, not from a guess the first morning.

Do I get copies of the moisture readings?

Yes. You get the photos, the daily moisture readings and the estimate, not just your insurance company. If you want to talk through what we have documented, call or text (815) 585-1750.
