Water Damage Cleanup in Glen Ellyn, IL
Most water damage in a Glen Ellyn home does not come from a storm. It comes from a burst pipe in a cold snap, a water heater that finally gave out, a washer hose that let go, or a toilet that overflowed and ran. When it happens, you are suddenly staring at soaked carpet, ruined drywall, and furniture that is not coming back.
Onit is the crew that hauls the ruined material out. We are not a restoration company and we are not going to oversell you drying equipment. What we do is clear the water-damaged contents and building materials so a restoration crew can dry the space and repairs can begin. We often work right alongside those crews.
The village has a lot of homes with finished basements, and that lower level is usually where the water ends up. We carry soaked sectionals, carpet, padding, and damaged drywall up the stairs and out, and we can help document what was removed for your insurance claim.

We haul, restoration crews dry
There is an important difference here. Restoration companies dry the structure and treat for mold. We are the haul-out crew that gets the ruined material out of the house so that work can happen faster.
Wet drywall, carpet, padding, furniture, and boxes hold water and slow down drying. Clearing them quickly is often the first real step, and we can be there while the restoration team sets up their equipment.
Finished basements take the hit
In Glen Ellyn, the finished basement is where a leak or a failed sump pump usually does the most damage. Soaked couches, rugs, and drywall down there are heavy and awkward to move.
We bring the hands to carry it all up the stairs and out without wrecking the walls on the way. As we go, we can log and photograph the items so your insurance paperwork is easier to put together.
