SERVPRO Responds Quickly

Many residents in Southern Illinois enjoy setting off fireworks during the summer months, especially The 4^th of July.  Sometimes things go wrong, however, and cause injuries to people or damage to property.  When areas outside your residence sustain damage in this manner, pests such as rodents and insects can come inside your dwelling all too easily.

If your home or business sustains fire damage in this manner, the holes burned into siding can seem minor.  However, rain water does not require large openings to infiltrate your home.  SERVPRO prepares our technicians according to IICRC standards to mitigate such situations adequately.   
 
Rainwater can also substantially damage insulation, wiring, and interior walls.  If burnt out areas occur around second story levels, water can damage ceilings, also.  Our SERVPRO team can remove affected areas of siding and help you locate matching sections. 
 
In homes where fire damage causes more extensive damage than just a few minor holes, SERVPRO employees are also able to remove the damaged materials so replacement work can happen more easily.  Often, though, we find that cleaning materials first reveals minimal damage that does not require this extra cost.  Saving our customers money through restoration by cleaning instead of replacement of materials means making everything "Like it never even happened," can cost considerably less than expected. 
 
SERVPRO of Carbondale/Marion wants you and your family to enjoy a safe and fun 4^th of July.  When fire damage from any source causes your home damage, call us at (618) 998-8828 so we can help you protect your home.
