1. Property Damage Assessment

Vandalism leaves behind dangerous debris, including broken glass and splintered wood. Our teams quickly clear sidewalks, steps, and entrances to ensure the safety of everyone near the property.

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.
What are the most common damages from vandalism?

Vandalism results in broken windows and smashed doors. Other types of vandalism damages include organic debris, broken water mains and interior ransacking. It can be very challenging to prevent vandalism, but government programs have been put into place to deter vandals.

How soon do I have to remove graffiti from property exteriors?

We recommend addressing graffiti removal within the first 24 hours. After 48 hours, it becomes very difficult to completely remove graffiti stains.

Does business insurance cover vandalism cleanup?

Most business property policies cover damages caused by vandalism, including graffiti. If you’re a commercial building tenant, speak with the property owner about coverage details.
