Water Damage Restoration in Palos Heights, IL

Water damage restoration in Palos Heights

A failed toilet supply line or a cracked sink connection puts out a lot of water, and it does not stop until someone closes a valve. Our crew extracts what is standing, lifts or cuts away the flooring that trapped it, and dries the subfloor and wall bottoms with dehumidifiers and air movers. We log moisture every day and leave the equipment only as long as the readings need it. After that, ONIT Solutions rebuilds the bathroom floor, walls and trim.

We cover Palos Heights along Harlem Avenue, Ridgeland Avenue, Route 83 and 127th Street in Cook County, with Lake Katherine in town. If your bathroom has tile over a wood subfloor, water can sit under the tile for days and soften the plywood while the surface looks fine. We meter the floor around the toilet and tub, and where the subfloor reads wet or feels soft, the tile and underlayment come up. Tile set over a soft floor will not stay put, so the rebuild starts with a solid, dry subfloor.

Bathroom water damage work in Palos Heights

Floor metering

We test the subfloor around the toilet, tub and vanity before deciding what comes up.

Tile and underlayment removal

Wet underlayment and the tile on it are removed where the readings call for it.

Subfloor repair

Soft or delaminated plywood is cut out and replaced with new subfloor.

Vanity and wall bottoms

The vanity is pulled if water got behind it, and wet drywall at the floor line is cut out.

Ceiling below

If the leak reached a room under the bathroom, that ceiling is dried and rebuilt too.

Bathroom rebuild

Tile, vanity reset, base, drywall and paint to finish the room.

The order we work in, Palos Heights

First comes extraction and a written list of the daily equipment rates, shown to you before setup. Then we dry, check the machines each day and record the readings. When the floor and walls read dry, we take the equipment out and write an itemized rebuild estimate. Any hidden damage, like rot around an old toilet flange, gets photographed and priced in writing for your approval first.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Palos Heights: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Close the valve behind the toilet or under the sink, or the main if that one will not turn. Mop up the floor and lay towels along the doorway so the water does not move into the next room. If there is a room below, check its ceiling and move anything under a wet spot. A few photos of the broken line and the floor will help with your claim.

Do you work in Palos Park, Orland Park or Willow Springs?

Yes. We cover all three for water damage, around the clock.

Will I need a permit in Palos Heights?

The drying and subfloor work usually do not need one. If the rebuild changes plumbing or electrical, the city may require a permit, and we pull it where required.

When can we use the bathroom again?

The toilet usually has to come up for the floor to dry and be repaired, so the room is out of service during drying and the rebuild. We give you a written schedule once the floor reads dry and the scope is approved. Call or text (815) 585-1750 if you want us to look at it.

What if the water came up from a drain instead of a supply line?

That is a different kind of loss. Water that backs up from a drain or sewer is often covered under a separate backup endorsement on a homeowners policy, so check yours. It is also more contaminated, so porous materials it touched come out rather than being dried.
