Fire Restoration Pack-out:101

6/28/2023 (Permalink)

We provide services for our clients to take their SERVPRO experience to the next level. Our team goes above and beyond so that our clients don’t have stress more than necessary. A fire restoration pack-out is when our team takes the contents from the client, and they will clean and deodorize them. Our team works to restore the preloss condition. Once that level is achieved, they will pack up the contents, store them, and deliver them back once the owner accepts them. SERVPRO offers this service because we can recognize the importance of having sentimental items during a difficult time.

Pack-Out Inventory

When we obtain contents from a client after performing a pack-out, we generate a complete list of all the contents. This list contains the item's condition when received and other information to help protect the client’s property and reduce contractor and insurance company liability. One of our content technicians will document the condition when obtained and restore the preloss state when observing the contents. When boxed/canned foods encounter heat from the fire, they must be appropriately documented before it gets disposed of.

Attention to Detail

As a company, we hope that your or your family will never need our services. Still, there are so many unpredictable factors that we can’t control. With that being said, if you are ever in need of a pack-out service or any assistance, please call our SERVPRO of Plainfield, Shorewood and SERVPRO of Naperville South office at 815-436-5735.

IICRC TRAINED AND CERTIFIED EMPLOYEES

10/20/2022 (Permalink)

Property restoration includes a wide area of services all with the primary purpose of cleaning of damage and messes caused by flooding and excess moisture, fire smoke and soot, mold, biohazard, and severe weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes, hail and more. Property Restorers want to protect fragile properties against further damages.

Although property restoration professionals may have training and expertise in specialized areas, most are required to have met some certifications. The IICRC, or Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration, is a certification organization that sets standards for the related industries. The IICRC is recognized by the insurance industry and restoration professionals as the global standard for restoration.

What Is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration?

The IICRC is a third-party certification agency that also oversees the training and education of restoration and cleanup technicians. Some of the classes that technicians study includes fire and water restoration, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and structural drying. Technicians may also earn certificates in mold remediation, restorative drying, and tarping services. If performing work with biohazards, special training courses must be completed.

What Is Mitigation?

Mitigation is an important element of cleaning and restoration services. The goal of mitigation is to reduce losses by limiting the effect of disasters. When a property has been damaged by flooding or fires, it may seem that the extent of damages is complete. However, secondary damages are often a possibility. For example, mold growth can take place after floodwaters have been cleaned up. Once the flames of a property fire are gone, the structure may suffer secondary damages because moisture has been absorbed from the water used to fight the fire. A mitigation certificate shows that technicians have demonstrated their ability to prevent further losses.

The Importance of Industry Standard Makers

The IICRC plays a vital role in preparing property restoration and cleanup professionals to perform their jobs with top quality results. It also keeps industry standards high, protecting clients from all walks of life.

Advanced Technology Used to Remove Smoke Damage in Plainfield Home?

3/21/2022 (Permalink)

We restore smoke damage in Will County!

Smoke damage leaves behind a unique signature based on the fire's fuel. Our local team of technicians in Plainfield and Naperville may use any of the following to neutralize and remove smoke odor:

Air Scrubber or Filter

Heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber, or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator

An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging

Thermal fogging is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator

A hydroxyl generator is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification

Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor

Animal Hoarding in Plainfield?

2/22/2022 (Permalink)

We are trained to clean and restore hoarding environments in DuPage county.

Do you know that animal hoarding is a mental disorder? According to the American Psychiatry Association, animal hoarding involves an individual acquiring large numbers (dozens or even hundreds) of animals. The animals may be kept in an inappropriate space, potentially creating unhealthy, unsafe conditions for the animals. SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South has been cleaning and restoring hoarding scenes for years.

The following criteria are used to define animal hoarding:

• An individual possesses more than the typical number of companion animals
• The individual is unable to provide even minimal standards of nutrition, sanitation, shelter, and veterinary care, with this neglect often resulting in starvation, illness, and death
• The individual is in denial of the inability to provide this minimum care and the impact of that failure on the animals, the household, and human occupants of the dwelling

Hoarding Cleanup Services

Upon arrival, we will inspect and assess the damage and develop a plan to begin the cleanup and decontamination process immediately. We will work systematically through the property and remove any animal waste and cages. We will clean, decontaminate, and deodorize the entire property – inside and outside. When we complete the cleaning and restoration process, you will never know the area was an animal hoarding scene.

Mold Remediation in Plainfield?

8/23/2021 (Permalink)

We mitigate and remediate mold growth 24-hours a day in Will and Kendall counties.

Mold in my house?  

I smelled a funny, musty odor and traced it to mold growing around a window. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the windowsill was leaking. Uh oh. I called SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South and they came out and inspected the damage. They contained the mold and repaired the damaged windowsill. After using antimicrobial cleaning agents to kill the mold, they set up powerful air scrubbers in the contaminated area to clean the air overnight. Now, you would never know there had been a mold problem in my house!

Understanding Mold

• 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 air conditioning and 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
• 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.

Convenience store stickup

My uncle’s convenience store was held up by a robber. Thankfully a good Samaritan that was shopping in the store snuck up and tackled the guy and held him down until the police came. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the store was a mess. Some of the store displays got knocked over and there was broken glass, blood, and food debris all over the floor. My uncle had to close the store because it was a safety hazard, and he called SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South. Even though it was late at night a crew came out and cleaned the entire area and removed all of the damaged goods from the store floor. They cleaned and sanitized the area and my Uncle reopened the store that same night!

Odor Removal and Deodorization

2/11/2020 (Permalink)

Keep your home or business smelling fresh and clean! SERVPRO of Plainfield / Naperville South can help with odor removal.

As experts in deodorization, SERVPRO of Plainfield / Naperville South is trained to identify and eliminate offensive odors.  These odors can come from a number of sources both inside and outside a structure.

We have the training and equipment to identify and eliminate these offensive odors.  By identifying the cause of the odor, and determining the conditions where it contacts surfaces, the odor can often be removed over time without a trace.  Our technicians have access to several odor removal products capable of penetrating surfaces to neutralize an unpleasant odor thoroughly.

The science of identifying and eliminating odors can be a tricky thing, so give SERVPRO of Plainfield / Naperville South a call at (630) 369-9710 and leave the restoration to us.

Let SERVPRO help with Mold

2/4/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Plainfield / Naperville South can help with Mold.

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.
