This home was damaged by a kitchen fire. The smoke from the fire luckily was contained to the kitchen. SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County used specialized equipment and techniques to remove the smoke and soot from ceilings and walls.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly 17,000 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year. 

This was one of those cases. What can you do right now to possibly prevent this? Always make sure to take a look at the dryer venting from the outside of your house, check the lint traps inside the dryer and even consider having a professional clean all your dryer venting. 

This Crown Point home called SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County after they had a small fire in their kitchen. It was a pretty simple cleanup but there was some minor smoke damage in this living room. Our technicians did a great job at making it look brand new. 

During the holiday season we love to give tasty treats and our delicious coffee to some awesome insurance agents! How cute are those SERVPRO cookies?  It’s a great time to spread cheer and to also spread awareness about fires. Dry Christmas Trees, candles, and sparkly lights can cause major damage to a home if not properly inspected and carefully monitored. 

We know you may be anxious to clean your home after a fire, but if you don't take the time to get professional assistance, you may just be creating more damage and wasting your efforts. Make sure you contact your insurance agency once the fire is out. They will start a claim and assess your immediate needs. Then SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County will come and make it "Like it never even happened."

Visiting our local firefighters is so much fun. Bringing them cookies and coffee is the least we can do! These men and women put their lives on the line daily. They are the first repsonders to our fire damage jobs, paving the way for SERVPRO to come in and clean it all up. Thank you guys!
