Move-Out and Pack-Out Services in Ingleside?
1/31/2023 (Permalink)
We offer services to move your belongings offsite during the restoration process in Lake County.
When my home was damaged by fire in Ingleside, the damage was extensive in some rooms, and the contents had to be moved out in order to complete the restoration. The fire did not damage some items and required offsite storage, but others needed to be restored. I was happy to find that my insurance covered these services and that the local team in Northwest Lake County provided these services. The team helped me pack and move out all of the belongings in the house. This allowed the restoration process to move quickly, and we moved back into the house sooner than we thought!
Sometimes during a restoration, household items will need to be moved offsite so that the work can be completed. Our local team in Northwest Lake County offers the convenience of move-out and pack-out services.
We can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area when your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning due to fire damage. Move-out will provide several benefits, including:
- A quicker remodeling process
- Protecting items from potential damage
- Protecting contents from further on-site damage
Once the restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs. The services offered upon move-in may depend on your insurance coverage.

Quick and Easy Tips for Creating a Home Inventory in Fox Lake?

We can help our customers with the insurance process in Lake County.
Our team in Northwest Lake County has established relationships with all major insurance companies and can assist with the insurance process and paperwork. We have been restoring property damage for Fox Lake residents and businesses for years.
Having an up-to-date home inventory list helps get your claim processed faster. Although creating a home inventory can be daunting, modern technology makes the process much easier. Here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute for using technology to create a home inventory list.
Take pictures – Create a photo record of your belongings. Capture important individual items and entire rooms, closets, or drawers. Label your photos with what’s pictured, where you bought it, the make or model—whatever information might be important to replacing or getting reimbursed for the item. Use your smartphone or digital camera—some give you the capability to put in the item’s description when saving the photo.
Tape it – Walk through your house or apartment, videotaping and describing the contents. For example, you might describe the contents of a kitchen cabinet: “Poppies on Blue by Lenox, service for 12 that includes a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, cup, and saucer. Purchased in 2015.”
Use an app – Many mobile app options can help you create and store a room-by-room record of your belongings.

HVAC Inspection and Cleaning Services in Round Lake Beach?
3/21/2022 (Permalink)
Our Lake County customers benefit from our HVAC inspection and cleaning services.
The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted by dirty HVAC systems. Our local team in Northwest Lake County can inspect, clean, and maintain your HVAC system and keep your system running at peak performance.
Key Words:
Word Count: 242
Body:
Do you know that our technicians in Northwest Lake County are trained to inspect and maintain heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in homes and commercial businesses? We help Round Lake Beach residents save money and keep their HVAC systems operating in top condition. According to the National HVAC Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Association, the two main benefits of cleaning your air ducts are:
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, and the system takes air in and breathes air out.
Through normal occupation in a home, we generate a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants, such as dander, dust, and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day, on average. Over time, this re-circulation causes a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.
Energy Savings
Contaminants in the heating and cooling system cause the HVAC system to work harder and shorten your equipment’s life. Although filters are used, the heating and cooling system still gets dirty through regular use.
When an HVAC system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain your desired temperature. As a result, less energy is used, leading to improved cost-effectiveness.

Flooded Basement in Venetian Village?
11/3/2021 (Permalink)
We are trusted leaders in water damage restoration in Lake County
In a study prepared by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS), 40 percent of incidents involving sump pumps were due to clogged inlet screens or faulty float switches. Another 18 percent of sump pump failures were caused by power outages. SERVPRO® of Northwest Lake County responds to water damage emergencies in Venetian Village and other parts of Adams County, and we have restored many flooded basements over the years.
The IBHS offers these sump pump maintenance tips:
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for sump pump maintenance. These vary from running the sump pump every two to three months to a yearly cleaning before the rainy season.
- Inspect the pump by opening the lid and remove any debris blocking the water inlet screen
- Pour about five gallons of water into the pump and watch the float valve rise
- As the float valve rises, the pump should turn on, and water should discharge through the outlet pipe

- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors
- Mold spores are microscopic and float in the atmosphere, and can enter your home through windows, doors, or air conditioning and heating systems, or even come indoors on your clothing or pet
- Mold spores thrive on moisture
- Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. or the mold may return
- Mold often produces a strong musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas
- Even higher than normal indoor humidity can support mold growth
- Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent

Does Your Lake County Home Have A Mold Problem?
6/7/2021 (Permalink)
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.
