Downtown Chicago Businesses Trust Us to Restore Winter Storm Damage?

1/16/2024 (Permalink)

We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Chicago.

SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki is a leader in commercial storm damage restoration services. Downtown Chicago is known for its harsh winters, and can experience several types of winter storms that have the potential to cause significant commercial property damage:

Snowstorms: Heavy snowfall can accumulate on rooftops, making them susceptible to damage, especially if the snow is wet and heavy.

Ice Storms: Freezing rain can create ice accumulations on surfaces, including roads, walkways, and buildings. Ice accumulation on power lines and trees can lead to power outages and falling branches, potentially causing damage to roofs, windows, and exterior structures.

Blizzards: Blizzards combine heavy snowfall with strong winds, reducing visibility and causing drifting snow. This can lead to blocked entrances and exits, damage to windows and doors, and disruption of business operations.

Ice Dams: Ice dams can block proper drainage, causing water to back up under roofing materials and potentially lead to leaks and interior damage.

Lake-effect Snow: Chicago's proximity to Lake Michigan can result in lake-effect snow, which can bring intense, localized snowfall and accumulations. This heavy snow can stress roofs and create challenges for property access and maintenance.

Windstorms: Strong winds, often associated with winter storms, can cause structural damage, such as torn-off roofing materials, broken windows, and damage to exterior signs and fixtures.

We are leaders in commercial property damage restoration services in Chicago.

The business community in Downtown Chicago trusts SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki to restore commercial property damage quickly and efficiently. Commercial properties in downtown Chicago can experience various types of damage due to a combination of weather events, environmental factors, and urban conditions. Some typical forms of commercial property damage include:

Weather-Related Damage

Snow and Ice Damage: During Chicago's harsh winters, heavy snowfall, and ice accumulation can lead to damage on rooftops, gutters, and exterior structures. Ice dams can also form, causing water leaks and interior damage.

Wind Damage: Windstorms, especially during severe weather events, can cause damage to windows, roofing materials, and external facades.

Hail Damage: Hailstorms can result in damage to roofs, windows, and exterior surfaces. Hailstones can cause dents, cracks, and shatter glass.

Water Damage

Flood Damage: Flooding can occur due to heavy rainfall or melting snow, especially if drainage systems are overwhelmed. Basements and lower levels of buildings are particularly susceptible to flooding.

Plumbing and Pipe Leaks: Internal plumbing issues, such as burst pipes or leaks, can lead to water damage inside commercial buildings.

Fire Damage

Fire Incidents: Fires can break out due to various causes, including electrical faults, heating systems, or human error. These incidents can result in significant structural and interior damage.

Vandalism and Theft: Commercial properties may be susceptible to vandalism, break-ins, and theft, especially in certain areas of downtown Chicago.

Mold Damage: Mold requires moisture to grow, and even during the winter, moisture can find its way into buildings and begin to colonize.

Smoke From Major Fire Infiltrates Downtown Chicago Building?

11/27/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to commercial fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Chicago.

Smoke residue and odor from a fire can be difficult to clean and remove. Each fire event leaves behind its own unique “signature” based on what fueled the fire. SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki has a team of fire damage restoration technicians who are trained and certified to restore smoke damage. Here are some of the kinds of equipment we use to remove smoke odor:

Air Scrubber or Filter: Heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber, or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There will still be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator: An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging: Thermal fogging is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator: A hydroxyl generator is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification: Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.
