Water Damage Restoration in Wheaton, IL

Water damage restoration in Wheaton

Our water damage service covers extraction, structural drying, daily moisture monitoring and the rebuild. We size air movers and dehumidifiers to each wet room and dry inside the wall cavities when water has gotten behind the surface. HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines run when demolition is part of the job, so dust stays in the work area. Once the readings show dry, ONIT Solutions puts the rooms back.

We work in Wheaton every week, reaching it on Roosevelt Road and Naperville Road and through downtown on Main Street near the Metra station and Wheaton College, in DuPage County. Where an older Wheaton house still has plaster walls, water damage behaves differently than it does on drywall. Plaster can stay hard on the surface while the lath behind it is soaked, and some of it dries in place while some has to come out. We meter it, drill vent holes where cavity drying will work, and cut out only what the readings and the plaster's condition call for.

Water Damage Restoration by ONIT Solutions

What's included for a Wheaton water loss

Plaster and drywall assessment

We meter walls and ceilings and check whether plaster is still bonded before deciding what stays.

Cavity drying through vent holes

Where it works, air is pushed into the wall through drilled holes instead of tearing the wall out.

HEPA air scrubbing

Scrubbers run during demolition to catch plaster and drywall dust.

Negative air

Work areas are kept under negative pressure so dust does not drift into finished rooms.

Daily monitoring

Readings logged every day, with copies for you.

Wall repair and refinish

Plaster patched or drywall installed, then skim coated, primed and painted to match.

How the job runs in Wheaton

We dispatch as fast as we can after your call or text, and the first visit is extraction, readings and photos. You get the daily equipment rates in writing before setup. We check the machines every day and take them out once the readings show dry, so the bill stops when the drying does. The rebuild estimate is itemized, and if a wall turns out worse once it is opened, you approve the written change before we proceed.

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration in Wheaton: questions

What should I do before you get here?

Close the water at the source or at the main. Turn off power to any room where water is dripping from a light fixture, using the panel only if you can stand somewhere dry. Pick up rugs and move furniture off wet floors, and set foil or plastic under furniture legs you cannot move. Photograph everything before cleanup starts.

Which towns near Wheaton do you serve?

We take water damage calls in Glen Ellyn, Warrenville, Lisle and Naperville as well.

Does Wheaton require a permit for water damage repairs?

Drying and like-for-like wall repair often do not. If the rebuild includes electrical, plumbing or framing work, the city may require a permit, and we pull it where it does.

How long does it take to dry plaster walls?

Plaster and lath usually take longer to dry than drywall, and the daily readings tell us when it is done. Once they show dry, we schedule the repairs and put the dates in writing. Call or text (815) 585-1750 to set up the first visit.

Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company suggests?

You can usually choose your own contractor, but check your policy. We write the estimate in the line-item format carriers use and can meet your adjuster at the house.
