After a commercial fire affected a Marion, IL business we were there to put things back to normal. An electrical fire sent smoke and soot throughout the business as the HVAC unit continued to run covering the kitchen and dining areas.

Using this system allowed us to capture a full digital walk through of the building and the full sketch of the structure. The benefit of this allowed us to save a lot of time and money for the customer.

Fire Damage In Carbondale, IL

8/2/2022 (Permalink)

What do you do when you have a fire in your house?  Seems like an easy question to answer or maybe even easy to google.  However, when a part of your house catches fire, it is all about reaction time and having a plan of attack.  Like the old saying, you don’t know how you will react until it happens to you.  

Having early detections of fire with a smoke detector gives you a little bit more time to react.  Having a plan of attack such as having fire extinguishers placed within easy reach helps you reduce the chance of the fire spreading and causing more damage.  Both of these tips require you to do some regular maintenance like checking the batteries and upgrading expired equipment.  Seems simple enough, but what are your plans for the aftermath?

Calling SERVPRO of Carbondale/Marion at 618-998-8828 can help you get back to normal faster. We work with every insurance provider and closely with home or business owners to ensure they under the process fully.
