There’s No Time for Waiting When Your Home Is Damaged

If a fire issue pops up during the holidays, remember the trusted leader in the recovery industry, SERVPRO of North Kenosha County.

Nobody likes to wait, and being made to wait is even worse. If you’ve ever had a 10-minute doctor visit extended to an hour or more due to time spent in the waiting room, you know exactly what we mean.

Waiting can be a simple matter of inconvenience, or in some cases it can be a matter of potential harm. Such is the case when it comes to sudden damage to your home or business—waiting not only means your cleanup and recovery starts later, but it also means the damage is made worse in the meantime.

That’s why SERVPRO never closes up shop. We’re available every hour of every day, because we know water and fire don’t wait for office hours and business days.

After a fire. The initial destruction from the flames is only the beginning. Once the fire settles, you’ve got to deal with soot, the black sludge that covers walls, furniture and more in the wake of a fire. Soot takes hold in minutes, its microscopic particles clinging to every molecule.

In a few short hours, the hold of soot and the stench of smoke are made permanent on affected surfaces in your home, meaning they can’t simply be cleaned; they have to be replaced. Fast action can save or prevent this.

After water damage. Once water invades, there’s a short window that exists between initial soaking and further issues, mold being one of those. In only 48 hours (and possibly less), your home has mold growing in dampened areas.

Left unchecked, mold can cause or worsen respiratory issues and cause structural damage to your home.

What’s more, sudden storms or natural disasters can open the door to a wide variety of issues for which immediate care is needed. You can’t afford to wait, and you shouldn’t have to. Your friends at SERVPRO are here, so that we can be ready when you call. We won’t keep you waiting.

When you need help after a home or business disaster, fast service is a priority, and there’s nobody faster or more prepared than SERVPRO. Call us anytime to take advantage of our 24-hour emergency service.
