Schaumburg water damage restoration and rebuilds

Water damage restoration has to answer one question early: what can be dried and what has to be replaced. We extract the water and take readings across floors and walls, then set drying equipment for what can be saved. Materials that will not dry well, like soaked pad or swollen laminate, come out and leave with us. ONIT Solutions then rebuilds the floors, walls and trim, with an itemized estimate in writing first.

We cover Schaumburg, a village in Cook and DuPage counties, reaching it on I-90, I-290 and Route 53, with Golf Road and Meacham Road taking us across town. Flooring decides a lot on a water job. Laminate swells at the edges and usually cannot be dried back flat, while tile and luxury vinyl plank can sometimes stay if the subfloor or slab under them dries. Carpet is judged on how long it sat wet and what kind of water it was, and the pad under it almost always comes out. We tell you which is which before anything gets torn out.

How a Schaumburg water job comes together

We walk the wet rooms with you, stop the source, and put the daily equipment rates in writing before the drying starts. You get copies of the photos, the moisture readings and the estimate, and the estimate is written line by line the way carriers read them. If lifting the floor shows damage the estimate missed, we write it up, price it and wait for your approval. The rebuild is scheduled once the readings show dry, and we walk the finished rooms with you.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Schaumburg: questions

What should I do before you get here?
Shut the water off at the source or the main valve. Pull area rugs and anything on the floor into a dry room, and lift curtains and furniture skirts off wet carpet. Do not use a household vacuum on the water. Take photos and video, then call your insurance company if you plan to file a claim.
Can my wood or laminate floors be saved?
Laminate that has swelled at the seams usually cannot. Engineered hardwood and vinyl plank sometimes can, if the readings under them come down. We check them with meters and tell you before anything comes up.
How long before I have floors again in Schaumburg?
Drying usually takes a few days, and the slab or subfloor has to read dry before new flooring goes down. After that, the install time depends on the rooms and the material, and we give you dates in writing.
Does Schaumburg require a permit for water damage repairs?
Flooring and drywall replacement often do not need one, but electrical, plumbing or framing work usually does. Where the village requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspections.
Do you work near Schaumburg?
Yes. We dry out and rebuild homes in Hoffman Estates, Roselle, Palatine and Rolling Meadows as well. Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night.
