When you suffer fire damage in Morton Grove/East Niles, our SERVPRO of Morton Grove/East Niles family is there to assist you. Our experienced crew chief will assess the situation and develop a plan to make sooty, wet chaos “Like it never even happened.” Each crew member works diligently to complete whatever tasks are needed to get the job done.

The tasks common to fire damage mitigation and remediation as performed by our SERVPRO of Morton Grove/East Niles team include the following:

• Water containment, removal, and disposal following local regulations
• Burned debris assessment and removal
• Deep cleaning of charred surfaces with an emphasis on restoring stable surfaces if possible
• Evaluation of soot characteristics on different surfaces and spaces
• Ashy soot from hot-burning paper and wood
• Thick, dark soot that sticks to surfaces from electrical fires and slow smoldering fabrics and padding
• Protein-based soot from food and grease that adheres like a varnish
• Matching of the varying soot to appropriate cleaning products, tools, and techniques
• Loose, ashy soot -- cleared with dry sponges, brushed and HEPA-filtered vacuums
• Sticky, thickly deposited soot -- cleaning products with wetting agents and surfactants to loosen the bond and agitation to clear the soot away
• Protein-based soot -- abrasive tools or cleaning products to dislodge and solvents in challenging applications
• Deodorization after cleaning completes, including the use of special equipment like thermal foggers, hydroxyl generators, and ozone machines
