Restaurants are no exception to this reality. In fact, nearly half a million structure fires occur in the United States during any given year. These fires result in over a whopping $10 billion of property damages and over 13,000 civilian injuries. During 2010-2014 alone, approximately 7,410 structure fires occurred in restaurant establishments in the country. According to the NFPA, the cooking equipment used in restaurants is the main cause of these reported incidents. Surprisingly, fires related to electrical distribution, lighting and heating equipment only accounted for 27 percent of these fires.
Apartments are no exception to this reality. In fact, an average of 382,397 fires that occur annually in the United States happen within residential properties. Residential fires typically result in nearly 12,000 civilian injuries and over $7,298,475,292 in property damage.
Churches are especially vulnerable to fire damage because they often remain unoccupied for long periods of time. On top of this, churches tend to be remained filled with candles as they are often an integral part of services and foster a peaceful atmosphere.
Damaging fires, unfortunately, happen every 24 seconds in the United States. While the number of fires and fire-related deaths has been trending down since the 1970s, they still continue to wreak havoc all across the country.
Damaging fires can, unfortunately, happen anywhere, and medical facilities like hospitals and nursing homes are no exception. In fact, according to the latest data available, there was an average of 5,700 medical facility fires reported annually in the United States. One-fifth of those fires broke out in hospitals specifically, totaling to about $5 million in property loss each year.
"We had a terrific experience with ServiceMaster. Sam and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He was prompt with his initial response, took the time needed to carefully inspect our basement and describe exactly what was needed, and completed the promised work under budget and to perfection. In addition to a job well done, he also seemed to treat his crew very well. He was careful to make certain we knew their names before he departed, and the entire team was professional and communicative any time we had questions. Highly recommended."

"ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons could not have been a better partner in getting through a recent rain water infiltration episode at my lakefront high-rise rental condo. These guys were prompt, professional and productive from the moment I called frantically looking for help right through final pick-up of their moisture mitigating equipment the next week. All the while, their excellent customer service approach kept me informed + updated (aka: "calm") about the processes being utilized to dry the unit out, remove the damaged flooring materials, etc. and help ward off secondary loss. Obviously, I hope to never experience another disaster like this, but, if I do, I know having ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons as a resource will help me endure and emerge with my property protected and my sanity intact."
