How SERVPRO Keeps Your Stuff Safe

11/5/2020 (Permalink)

When disaster happens, belongings are often inevitably lost. Whether from fire or water damage,
furniture, appliances, or other possessions tend to get damaged. What’s worse, is that some
things can be saved, but are often either not cleaned fast or well enough or damaged during
restoration. At SERVPRO of Northbrook / Wheeling / Glencoe, we take every step to ensure
your belongings have the best chances of survival. Not only do we get to the job as quickly as
possible (we’re on call 24/7 for emergency services!), but we also have the training and know-
how to mitigate damage before it can get out of hand. Getting moisture out of furniture, for
instance, can prevent mold growth and irreparable damage. We can also catch and stop water
from leaking or spreading to areas of the house that have not yet been affected.
We know your belongings mean a lot, so we treat them with the greatest of care in our facility
where they are kept safe and sound. We have a special service called a “pack-out,” where we
move out all a client’s belongings into our warehouse for storage and special cleaning. A “pack-
out” both protects items from damage during the cleaning process while also allowing us to treat
and restore them in the best way possible. For example, fire damage and smoke often give
clothes and other materials a lingering odor that can’t be removed by normal means. We will
send affected items to a specialty cleaner who will treat your belongings with the best remedy
techniques available so that you won’t need to worry about them. We’ll also make sure that any
water damage, such as mold, stains, or wear is remediated. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to give us a call at SERVPRO of Northbrook / Wheeling / Glencoe,
(847) 498-8889.
