Our Fire Damage Restoration Process for Residents of Vernon Hills, IL

Our in-house staff answers our phones 24/7, ready to respond with emergency services for your Vernon Hills home or business. We immediately dispatch our certified technicians to your door with an arrival time of 90 minutes or less.

2. Property-Wide Inspection

We start the restoration process with an inspection of all interiors damaged by the fire. Based on our assessment, we develop an action plan.

This outline covers our procedures and proposed schedule so that you know what to expect.

3. Board-Up and Tarping Services

A fire can blow out windows and damage the roof, leaving your property open to vandalism and the weather.

Our teams address these security issues by boarding up broken windows and tarping the roof as needed.

4. Fire Damage Tear-Out

Next, we remove all general debris and compromised structural materials. Fire-damaged walls and ceilings are torn out. Ruined flooring and carpeting are pulled up.

We move out unsalvageable contents and dispose of everything, following all local regulations.

5. Water Damage and Mold Cleanup

First responders’ firefighting efforts soak interiors with water and extinguishing agents, leaving behind a damp environment that quickly breeds fungal growth.

Our technicians mitigate the damage, and we eliminate mold so that it doesn’t spread further through wet materials.

6. Smoke and Soot Cleanup

Using advanced products, we deep clean smoke stains from all surfaces. Our specialized tools include vulcanized rubber sponges that remove soot particles and residue.

We also work with industrial equipment that deodorizes the entire property and refreshes indoor air quality.

7. Complete Interior Restoration

Our last step involves reconstruction, rebuilding and replacing. Torn-out floors, walls and ceilings are completely restored. Every detail, from baseboards and trim to wainscoting, is taken care of with professional expertise.

When we’re done, we perform a post-restoration cleanup and then ask you to inspect our work. Once we know you’re completely satisfied, we consider the job a success.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Their staff was incredible when we had a tricky double-insurance claim on our basement when a plumber left a sewage pipe cap off (twice!) in the span of 3 months. It was several months of back and forth with insurance and their staff, Brittney especially, went to bat for us, helped walk the field agents through the estimate, did 3-way phone calls, and even met and did a follow up review of the estimate on-site with their adjuster. They never dropped a ball, and were quick and tidy with the remediation. We can't thank them enough for the perfect customer service when navigating a really rough insurance claims process.

I called ServiceMaster restoration by Zaba when my parents basement flooded on a weekend and they were very professional and respectful over the phone and in person when they got to my parents home. They took care of everything and it looks and feels brand new I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Jerry one of service pros was very knowledgeable and was very kind. This company is great. They don’t price gouge! Prices are more than fair. I would recommend to all my family and friends.

I had some water damage occur in my kitchen; Floors were ruined, drywall was ruined, and cabinets were ruined. I put in a claim with my insurance, and they sent out Carlos and Jerry.I had the best experience with these Carlos and Jerry. They came in and looked lover all the affected area that had water damage. I thought I would be getting an estimate, but they were able to rip up the wet floors and remove the wet walls within the same day.We did run into an issue where Serviced Master found what was presumed to be asbestos tile in the affected areas. I felt like it was the end of the world, because we know all know it's crazy expensive to get that taken care of; But Service Masters work with a 3rd party company - Bluestone Environmental, Inc, who were able to come out and confirm, that it was asbestos. and they were able to set up times and dates, and a time frame of when things could get rolling with the rest of the removal.Carlos and Jerry were so nice, and explained everything that had to happen, down to a "T". They answered all of our questions, let us know what the next steps would be and gave us a heads-up that we would be getting notified about moving our stuff out of the house to that they could work. Carlos and Jerry set up dehumidifiers and fans to dry up all the water (over a span of 4 days). They took away all the destroyed materials, which was lovely, because it wasn't sitting in our driveway. And they sprayed the affected areas with a liquid to prevent mold from growing.Like I said, my boyfriend and I loved the experience we had with them, and we would call upon this team, heaven forbid, we ever needed a water mitigation team again.
