SERVPRO of Elgin / Northwest Kane County
Service Areas
Your Local Fire Restoration Company
Fires produce different types of soot depending on the types of material that burn. Wood and paper create a gray, light soot like what you see in a campfire. Most other types of materials produce a wet, black, acrid smelling soot due to the burning of petroleum-based products.
Different soot require different cleaning and deodorization methods. Our crews are trained to identify the different cleaning methods and equipment to be used on the different cleaning needs of each individual fire. SERVPRO of Elgin/Northwest Kane County has the equipment to clean your Elgin home after a fire as well as the content and clothing within your house. One restoration company to do it all!!

What our
customers are saying
We woke to the sound of the fire department knocking on our door. It was so scary. We could smell some smoke but we couldn't see where it was coming from. The fire department found that our door bell in the ceiling of our living room had shorted out and started some insulation on fire.
Apparently, the fire was smoldering for a while because some of the ceiling joists were completed burned through.
SERVPRO of Elgin is so helpful. Shannon in the office was very informative. Mitch was able to pack out our clothes and return many of them to us in just a couple of days.
Although we still have to get our home rebuilt, we are very happy with the service your team is providing us. Your company is the best!
What a mess. The fire in our garage made a huge mess and even affected the house. Thanks for getting us back to normal.
With Covid-19 going on they were very careful when working at my home which made me feel comfortable.
The crew that came out was great. When I had an issue, the 1st people to see on site were the guys. You were with me throughout the entire process. The crew was very helpful and advised me of each step as we progressed through the process.
Our house had a pipe break while we were out of town. We called SERVPRO of Elgin/Northwest Kane County to handle our job. They were able to remove all wet materials and were able to save the majority of our furniture.
We asked George if he could do the reconstruction and he could! We handed them the entire project, and they did a wonderful job.
They handled the drywall, painting, tile, carpeting and specialty wood for the sauna and hot tub room. They did all of this while we were out of town.
SERVPRO of Elgin/Northwest Kane County did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier!!
I love my new floors, they look great! Also, although I was originally hesitant on putting in the interior window between the kitchen and living room like my husband wanted, I really love it!! It adds so much light.
All of You did a wonderful job!!!
SERVPRO of Elgin did the cleaning of all our smoke damaged clothing. I couldn't believe how good everything came out. Simply amazing.
All of your guys were so polite and helpful. I was so impressed with your ability to clean all of our clothes, especially my long leather coat. I have to be honest, it looks better than it did prior to the fire.
All kidding aside, you guys did a really great job on the content, the cleanup and the reconstruction. I cannot recommend you strong enough!
Although the fire started in the basement, all 6 units were badly damaged. You guys made the entire process seem easy!

About Us
Where did we start - George and Marg Jackowiec joined the SERVPRO family back in 2003 and we love what we do! We purchased our Elgin/Northwest Kane County territory first. We purchase our 2nd territory, DeKalb County in 2020 and our Aurora territory in 2022. George and Marg Jackowiec both came from professional backgrounds but felt they wanted to have more control over their careers and make a difference!
Committed to Our Communities - The fact is that as a SERVPRO franchise we are given the opportunity to assist our neighbors and our communities in their time of need. We are called on when disaster strikes, and things look pretty dark. In many events, a SERVPRO will probably be the first person you see regarding the damage to your home, and it’s not uncommon for us to be the one to ensure the job is finalized. In addition to assisting our communities of Elgin, South Elgin, Hampshire, etc., we travel all over the country to assist during national disaster events. Our storm crews have spent a combined 17 months out of state assisting with 7 hurricane and numerous localized storm events in the last 9 years alone.
Our Employees - Our crews are some of the best trained restoration professionals you will find. But training alone isn’t what gets the job done. Our crews are experienced and have assisted homeowners and businesses in some very trying events. They also care. They care that your home or business is compromised and that you just want to get back to normal! We are here to help, just give us a call!!
Taking care of others - When in town, we also play an active role in our communities by supporting the agencies that support our citizens, such as the Community Crisis Center, Elgin Boys and Girls Club, and Elgin Fire Barn No. 5 Museum. We also are actively involved in the Elgin, Hampshire, and Northern Kane County, Aurora, DeKalb and Sycamore chambers which strive to make our communities flourish.
