Water Damage Restoration in Palos Park, IL

Ice dam leaks and water damage in Palos Park

Water damage restoration means getting a wet house dry and then making it right again. ONIT Solutions extracts water, sets air movers and dehumidifiers, runs HEPA air scrubbers when we open walls, and checks moisture every day until it is done. Then we rebuild the drywall, insulation, trim and paint. We do not do roofing, so if the water came through the roof, a roofer fixes that side while we take care of the inside.

Palos Park is on our regular route by Route 45, 123rd Street and McCarthy Road in Cook County, with the Palos and Sag Valley forest preserves around it. If your house sits on a wooded lot, shade can keep snow on parts of the roof long after the rest melts. When an ice dam forms at the eaves, meltwater can back up and run down inside an exterior wall or along a ceiling next to it. We open that wall or ceiling at the edge, dry the framing, replace the wet insulation and close it back up.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What we fix after a Palos Park ice dam leak

Exterior wall openings

Drywall along the outside wall is opened where meters show water ran down the cavity.

Ceiling edge repair

Stained or soft ceiling drywall near the eaves is cut out and replaced.

Insulation replacement

Wet batts in the wall and at the ceiling edge come out and new insulation goes in.

Wall-cavity drying

Air is pushed into the open cavities while dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the room.

Window and door trim

Casing and sills that took on water are removed, dried or replaced, and refinished.

Interior finish

Tape, texture and paint to match the rest of the room.

How a Palos Park water job goes

We answer your call or text 24/7 and dispatch as fast as we can. Daily equipment rates are in writing before setup, and every machine is checked each day it runs. When the readings show dry, the equipment comes out and we write the rebuild estimate, itemized. If the wall reveals more damage than the meters showed, you get photos and a written price before we touch it.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Palos Park: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Put towels and a bucket under any drip, and keep furniture and electronics away from the wet wall. If water is near a light fixture or outlet, turn off that circuit at the panel. Do not climb onto an icy roof to chip at the dam. Take photos inside and out, then call your carrier.

Do you cover Palos Heights, Orland Park and Lemont?

Yes. We handle water damage in those towns and in Homer Glen too.

Does Palos Park require a permit for this repair?

Interior drywall and insulation repairs often do not. Framing, electrical or plumbing work may, depending on the village's rules, and we pull permits where Palos Park requires them.

How long does an ice dam repair take?

Drying an exterior wall usually takes several days, and the readings decide when it is done. We would rather close the wall after the roof side is fixed, so we plan around your roofer's timing. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to get the drying started.

Do you fix the roof?

No. We do not do roofing. We handle the water inside the house, from drying through the rebuild, and we work around whoever repairs the roof.
