Damage to Documents or Photographs

Storms can cause high winds, rain, flooding, hail, snow, or lightning strikes that lead to fires. All these may cause several types of damage, but one type of damage that many people believe impossible to remediate is damage to documents or photographs.

We understand the worry; seeing heavy paper or photo stock made translucent or being stuck to other surfaces does not promote confidence. Nonetheless, we have technicians at SERVPRO of Plainfield/Naperville South who have the training to help restore these valued materials.

The main limitation is time. The sooner we get your photographs, books, maps, or other documents, the likelier it is we can help recover them.

Trivia Time!

The kids down the hall, otherwise known as the Office of “No, It Won’t be on the Exam”, dug into the most random of random stuff this week:

• Martin Van Buren was the first United States president born in the United States.
• Skyfall (Adele) was the first Bond theme song to win an Oscar for best original song.
• Koalas have human-like fingerprints. They’re so similar that it’s hard to distinguish the difference between human and koala fingerprints. We don’t know why anyone checked.
