SERVPRO Repairs a Roof and Installs Insulation in a Chicago Heights Property

This home in Chicago Heights suffered storm damage when a limb gave way and crashed onto the kitchen sink via the roof. Our technicians soon arrived to clean up the mess. We removed the tree limb, the ceiling material and some lumber from the attic. SERVPRO of Chicago Heights / Crete / Beecher, being a Licensed Roofing Contractor also, closed up the damaged area with some tarps and offered to repair the damage in the morning. We pointed out to the homeowner that his attic lacked insulation, there was none at all. We provided an estimate that would also blow into the crawl space about 16 inches of cellulose insulation to reach a thermal resistance rating (R factor) of 60. We verify the rating by using a thermal imaging device. This prevention of heat transfer through the attic also mitigates problems with ice damming. Hurry while a tax rebate is still in effect for this energy star home improvement. Call us for more information on roof repairs or insulation at (708) 672-0077.
