SERVPRO Works Hard to Ensure your Lake Zurich Business Can Recover from Fire Losses Quickly.

Lake Zurich is a suburb of Chicago to the North West of the city. The suburb is part of Lakes County, a popular outdoor exploration destination for residents in the nearby metropolitan areas. However, in recent years the quaint suburban life has attracted a bedroom community that takes advantage of both the exquisite surrounding nature and the close proximity to Chicago's metropolitan area. Residents and traders heavily contested recent redevelopments to the local downtown area in 2005. However, the acquisition of these properties has been promised as a potentially game-changing renewal project for the local populace of 18,104 people.

Lake Zurich and Lakes Counties surrounding natural beauty has seen it become a prime spot for an urban getaway. The quaint village of Lake Zurich is close by to the sandy Henry J Paulus Park, which is also equipped with a live entertainment concert stage. Annual festivals in Lake County include the Alpine Fest, which occurs in mid-July and consists of a parade, rides, food trucks, and music. Rock the Block attracts nearly 5,000 people each year, another of Lake Zurich's excellent street festivals.

• The Lake Zurich Farmers Market takes place between June and September every year on South Rand Street. Nearly forty local vendors host shop days every Friday for three months a year with unique and delicious produce, preserves, crafts, and foods. Live music acts frequently accompany the markets.
• Sunset Pavillion on Old Rand Road serves up craft brews on a verandah overlooking the enormous Lake Zurich. Some of the drinks menus are from locally-owned businesses, such as the Copper Fiddle Distillery on Route 22, which produces Gins, Rums, and Whiskies.
• Paulus Park is an ample public space with a beach, children's playground, and seating overlooking the nearby lake. Each year on the fourth of July, a fireworks ceremony takes place to commemorate Independence day.

SERVPRO Can Help you with Fire Restoration in Lake Zurich

The smoke that a property fire produces can bond with surface particles on walls, ceilings, draperies, and fittings. Given that the bonding process occurs due to high temperatures, pressure, and the resulting chemical reactions, these can be tough to dislodge. 

When taking on a fire restoration project in Lake Zurich, it is essential to get the planning phase right. Pre-testing materials using litmus paper to understand pH balance and conducting light cleaning of surfaces can inform a technician of the best procedure for removing stains. Tailoring solutions like this typically leads to shorter restoration times and better results. 

• Alkaline cleaning products can be effective but may also dull the finish of certain appliances in the home.
• Industrial extraction units can help to perform hot-water cleaning of carpets and other textiles in the property.
• Acidic cleaning agents are corrosive but can effectively remove potential rust or stubborn soot and soil from non-porous surfaces. 

Pre-testing is essential to efficient restoration. Contact SERVPRO of Buffalo Grove / Lake Zurich for fire restoration at (847) 279-1940.
