Residential fires are excruciatingly common in the Ingleside area – just as they are in the rest of the country. The United States Fire Administration (USFA) found that firefighters respond to an average of one residential fire every 87 seconds. Even the smaller fires that don’t require firefighters, however, often leave behind substantial damage. This damage may appear to be something you can handle on your own; much of the time, however, it is not. When you realize that the damage is more extensive and tricker than you’d thought, call us -- SERVPRO of Northwest Lake County at 224-372-7772.

Smoke and soot are not merely nuisances. These particles:

• Are corrosive enough to weaken support beams, metal, and stone
• Continue to erode property until completely removed
• Travel on air currents, through air ducts, and to places that are hard to access
• Are both greasy and lightweight
• Can, if not removed properly, embed themselves further into porous materials (clothing, upholstery, other fabrics, wood, etc.)
• Have tenacious foul odors

Water is similarly destructive. Because mold spores are everywhere, it is vital to get rid of all the excess moisture before the spores can open, which happens after 24 to 48 hours. Other kinds of microbial growth are also possible, especially if the fire left the home open to the outdoors. Count on our SERVPRO of Northwest Lake County to:

• Find and remove all the excess moisture – if you call us so that we arrive early enough, we’ll prevent the growth of mold or other kinds of microbial growth
• Stay on the job through the water-removal, structural drying/dehumidification, and microbial-growth removal processes
• Remediate damage from these hazards
• Rebuild your home, help restore the house and your belongings to their pre-fire-damage functioning
