SERVPRO Can Mitigate Fire Damage Losses to Your Retail or Rental Property

Fire damage doesn't need to be caused by a house fire that damages the entire home for it to be substantial. Even small fires can create fire damage that is not only unsightly but also a risk to the people who live in the home. Some damage can be hidden from view, inside the interiors of walls or under flooring, and can still cause damage and deterioration. This can create weaknesses in the structures that can later become apparent when significant weight or pressure on and the wall or floor causes its collapse. Larger fires cause damage that is often quite visible and can create dangerous areas in a home or rental apartment. For the safety of the renter and the structure, this is the reason all fire damage should be cleaned up and repaired immediately after a fire has occurred. 

What You Should Do When Your Apartment or Retail Space has had a Small Fire? 
If your Chicago Heights investment has had a small fire, you should realize that while the damage may not be as extensive as one that has destroyed an entire unit, the damage should still be cleaned up by professionals like our technicians. SERVPRO technicians receive training in IICRC protocols and an ongoing certification. Experience is not our only strong point – we continually update our skills and our equipment. 

Even small areas of damage should not be overlooked, as the secondary fire and smoke damage can quickly spread. Calling us to help repair any damage should be your first step in dealing with even a small fire. Don't let the size of the blaze trick you into thinking that the harm isn't bad enough to need professional repairs and cleaning. We have the skills to eliminate the damage, allowing you to forget that a fire even took place. And keep your doors open for business. Smoke and soot should be removed from the furnace and A/C duct work. Careful cleaning is required in the event of "puff-back" soot staining from your heating unit. Electronic equipment and retail products need rapid attention to minimizing damage from the corrosive nature of these fire by-products. Pitting of metal and eliminating odors and staining save inventory loss.

We Can Help Renters, Also 
If you live in a rented house, having repairs made can also help you retain your security deposit when you move to another location. Having a fire and fire damage itself will not keep you from having your deposit returned to you – it is when damage is present upon your moving out and vacating the premises. Commercial fire damage can result from many different factors. Consider professional assistance to protect your investment.

Call us, SERVPRO of Chicago Heights / Crete / Beecher, at (708) 672-0077, for cleanup and restoration. We are ready to answer your call and respond to your emergency. We will eliminate any damage and make it “Like it never even happened."
