After a fire, smoke and soot don’t just damage your home—they also pe*****te clothing, furniture, rugs, and personal belongings. Even items that look fine can hold acidic soot and smoke odors that worsen over time.

Trying to clean these items yourself can permanently set stains and odors. Professional content and textile cleaning uses specialized equipment to safely restore what matters most.

When water is pouring through your living room ceiling, it’s no longer a small leak — it’s an active failure!

We responded to a North Shore home this week where water was coming down steadily from the ceiling into the main living area. The source? A failed pipe on the second floor.

When this happens:
• Shut off the water immediately
• Avoid standing under the affected area
• Be cautious of lighting or electrical fixtures
• Call for emergency drying right away

Water spreads fast between floors. The longer it runs, the more structural damage it causes.

Chicago Polar Vortex Alert: Frozen & Burst Pipes Are Happening Now

Chicago is in the middle of a severe polar vortex, and we’re already responding to frozen pipes, burst lines, and sudden water damage across the city and North Shore.

If your heat drops, water pressure changes, or you see moisture where it doesn’t belong, don’t wait. Frozen pipes can burst without warning once temperatures fluctuate, flooding basements, walls, and ceilings in minutes.

What to watch for right now:
• No water or reduced flow
• Frost on exposed pipes
• Unusual sounds in walls
• Water stains or damp drywall
• Sudden spikes in humidity or musty smells

We’re on standby 24/7 with Chicago-based crews who know how cold-weather damage behaves in older homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial properties.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct. Early action prevents major damage.

Call us anytime, day or night, or visit our website for immediate help.

🧊 Burst Pipe Alert — North Shore

🚨 North Shore Homeowners: Burst Pipes Are Increasing During This Cold Snap 🚨

With the polar vortex impacting the North Shore, we’re seeing a rise in frozen and burst pipes across Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, and nearby communities.

Pipes located in exterior walls, basements, crawl spaces, and lightly heated areas are especially vulnerable. In many cases, pipes don’t fail immediately — they often burst during the thaw, after the coldest temperatures pass.

Warning signs to watch for:
• Reduced water pressure
• Damp or staining drywall
• Sagging ceilings
• Unexplained moisture or dripping

If something doesn’t look right, acting quickly can help limit damage and prevent a much larger repair.

ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons is available 24/7 for burst pipe and water damage emergencies across the North Shore.

Your Cabinets Can Look Fine After Water Damage… Until They Suddenly Aren’t

After a leak, flood, or pipe break, cabinets often appear untouched.
Doors open. Finishes look normal. Everything seems fine.

But cabinet boxes are usually made from materials that absorb moisture from the inside—especially from below or behind. That hidden moisture can cause swelling, odors, delamination, or mold weeks or even months later.

We see this all the time in Chicagoland homes, particularly after frozen pipes, dishwasher leaks, and under-sink failures.

If your cabinets were exposed to water—even briefly—it’s worth having them inspected properly before small issues turn into full replacements.
