SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team - Team Nichols has multiple offices. This is the Calumet City - Lansing team

SERVPRO of Calumet City-Lansing is locally owned and operated with a staff of over 50 employees. We serve multiple areas outside of Calumet City and Lansing Illinois, but the vast majority of our work takes place in towns.

Following heavy rains, winds, and other severe weather, both areas are prone to flooding. That's when our Storm Response Team is called upon. From over flowing toilets and sewer drains in basements to failing sump pumps and foundation leaks, SERVPRO is the only call you need to make. We can handle just about any Storm related damages whether covered by insurance or not.

Once our team is called, you'll quickly have professional staff members at your building or residence removing and extracting water. We perform demolition and/or drying of water damaged materials. We treat areas with antimicrobials and EPA registered disinfectants to avoid mold growth. Our staff is also capable of repairing any water damage as well.

SERVPRO Calumet City Lansing is also a licensed roofing company. We provide emergency tree removal and tarping. We replace damaged roofing, gutters, siding, and other exterior building materials. There's very few companies that have as well rounded a staff. Especially in the Village of Lansing and Calumet City where we are recognized as the local leader in disaster recovery and restoration.

This Spring will bring severe thunderstorms and other bad weather.

Thunderstorms are a type of storm that we tend to downplay in terms of its severity, as they often come and go, some largely harmless and others leaving a long path of destruction. At their worst, thunderstorms can produce high winds, intense bursts of rain, and hail, leading to downed trees and powerlines, as well as flash flooding. According to the American Red Cross, lightning produced from thunderstorms causes more deaths than hurricanes and tornadoes. Therefore, it is important to prepare your home for the worst when it comes to thunderstorms. In this blog, we’ll explore a few ways in which you can protect your home from thunderstorm damage.

3 Thunderstorm Safety Tips

The American Red Cross has published lists of tips for thunderstorm safety before, during, and after a thunderstorm. For the purposes of this blog, we would like to spotlight thunderstorm safety tips that are specifically designed to prevent storm damage to your home. The first tip is to have a list of things to bring inside before a thunderstorm. For example, if you have anything large or heavy outside that can potentially be transported inside, it may be beneficial to do so, as large objects can be picked up by the wind and inflict damage upon your home. Next, it may be helpful to double-check that your homes’ doors and windows are completely and securely shut. When it comes to windows, installing shutters may provide additional support, as they can prevent windows from breaking. Lastly, we mentioned earlier that thunderstorms can lead to downed trees, which makes it imperative that trees and other types of shrubbery are trimmed as best as possible in order to decrease the chances of branches flying from trees.
