What to do After Vandalism

Vandalism is a shocking experience, and it can leave you wondering what to do. Keep calm and follow these steps:

• Document the scene. Take photos of the vandalism scene, being sure to document any containers that reveal the ingredients of substances used in the vandalism.
• Contact your insurance. Call your insurance company to notify them about the vandalism event.
• Contact ServiceMaster Restoration by Zaba. Next, call ServiceMaster Restoration by Zaba for fast, reliable vandalism cleanup services you can trust: (773) 647-1985
• Rinse and wash. Rinse and wash any surface materials from your property. Vacuum or sweep up glass to make the area safe for people to enter.

What NOT to do After Vandalism

Avoid causing more damage or sustaining an injury. Don’t do these things after vandalism occurs:

• DON’T attempt vandalism cleanup on your own. Vandalism cleanup is an extensive process that requires professional attention. Resist the urge to clean your space on your own and contact ServiceMaster Restoration by Zaba instead.
• DON’T use electronics. Electronics may have been damaged during the vandalism. Avoid using them until your restoration team has examined and cleared them.
• DON’T throw anything away. Sometimes, even extensively damaged items can be restored. Don’t throw anything away until a restoration company has inspected your property.
