We respond to vandalism damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

When the police called telling me my store alarm was going off at my shop I panicked. I arrived to find my glass door broken and my shop in a mess. It looked like an explosion had gone off inside the store. Merchandise and inventory littered the floor. After the police completed their investigation, I had to secure the building and everything needed to be put back to pre-theft conditions quickly.

My insurance adjuster told me to call the local St. Clair Shores team and I’m glad I did. The team arrived quickly and cleaned and deodorized every wall, floor, and surface in the store, and returned later the next day to replace the glass in the broken door.

Elderly Couple Escapes Fire Safely in St. Clair Shores?

8/1/2023 (Permalink)

We are trusted leaders in fire damage restoration services in Macomb County.

Our local team in St. Clair Shores knows that smoke alarms save lives. However, those who are deaf or hard of hearing cannot depend on the sound of the regular alarm to alert them of a fire threat. Here are some safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association for alerting deaf or hard of hearing people of a fire danger:

Safety Tips

• Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf (those with profound hearing loss). These alarms use strobe lights to wake the person. Vibration notification appliances, such as pillows or bed shakers, are required and should become activated by a smoke alarm to alert the individual of smoke or fire dangers. 
• Older adults or people who are hard of hearing (those with mild to severe hearing loss) can use a device that emits a mixed, low-pitched sound. In its current form, this device activates by the sound of a traditional smoke alarm.
• Always choose equipment that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory
• Make sure everyone in your home understands and reacts to the signal (light, vibration, or sound) used in their situation
• Test smoke alarms monthly. Replace smoke alarms and equipment for people who are deaf or hard of hearing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations
