Fire in Evanston

12/17/2021 (Permalink)

A fire in the furnace room of an Evanston home caused significant damage in the basement as well as smoke damage throughout the home. The picture below shows plastic melted to the wall as well as the ash that followed. SERVPRO was called in to assess the damage and begin the process of restoring the home. There was damage to the drywall in the room where the fire started as well as the room next to it. Because it was damaged, it needed to be removed and disposed of. There was no demolition required anywhere else in the home, however that does not mean the work was done. Due to the damage from the smoke, the house needed to be cleaned from top to bottom, this included ceilings, walls, floors and content. This was no easy task, but SERVPRO put their best effort forward and got the job done as they always do!
