More Than A Fire Damage Restoration Service

ServiceMaster Restoration By Simons received a call from a 30,000 SF manufacturing company in Chicago contracted by the federal government to make specialized machine parts. The specialty machine parts production process requires a finishing acid bath and numerous vats of sulphuric acid as part of the operations/assembly line. Unfortunately, one of the vats of acid caught on fire. The factory had foil back insulation installed in the ceiling for the fire safety prevention except the insulation already passed its useful life. As the Acid vat fire spread, the the flames rose approximately twenty feet upwards, igniting the ceiling insulation, and ended up spreading throughout 90% of the warehouse's ceiling insulation.
