When Water, Fire, and Storm Damage Happens in Forrest, We're Ready.

Whether you're looking for restoration, cleaning or construction services in Forrest, we're here to help 24/7.

When looking for quiet and serene, you will find Forrest, Illinois. 

Forrest was laid out on December 11, 1866, by Israel J. Krack. He was briefly a teacher, lived in Indiana, and came to Livingston County in 1854. Krack was a farmer, notary public, grain dealer, and in later life an insurance agent. Krack was elected to the Illinois General Assembly in 1872 and became treasurer of Livingston County in 1878. He was a very busy founding father!

The first version of the town name was said to be "Forestville", spelled with one "r", but the "Forrest" spelling quickly came into use. Forrest Township was created soon after the village was founded and took its name from the founding village.

Success came when the Wabash Railroad was constructed through Forrest in 1880. On May 1 of that year, the first train on the Wabash passed through Forrest. The village became an important stopping place on the Wabash line linking Chicago and Kansas City and boomed. 

In the Railroad Park at Forrest are several important railroad-related remains to this day. A surviving railroad turntable is still located here. 

The park also contains the former Wabash Railroad station and a restored Norfolk & Western Railroad caboose. The Wabash Railroad station is now a museum, and contains a scale model of the town as it was in its railroad heyday. The model includes a fully functional turntable and electric railroad track. 

This is what SERVPRO does. We work with our communities to keep things moving, “Like it never even happened”. 

 SERVPRO knows that storms are strong in central Illinois and lead to water damage at all levels. It doesn’t matter if you are in a small town-we have your back. 

Working with our rural Volunteer Fire Departments is important to us as well. 

This is helpful for the training and the equipment for those departments, but also so they know who to call when one of their own is affected by fire. 

Knowing who to call for fire restoration helps to take a lot of pressure off of the firefighters caring for their communities. 

SERVPRO has your back!

Devon A. and Waylon B. came by after hours today, Sunday 8/2, and did a great job securing our store when someone ran their car through the front glass doors. I really appreciate it!

Sean Breast

My basement flooded from June Storms -I called Serv Pro and spoke with Dave. He was extremely helpful and came out with James to assessment the basement and remove the padding under carpet which was soaked. They checked walls and for any mold. They set up blowers and pulled carpet back. Dave came back with Devon 2 more times to follow up and ensure everything was up to par. I needed to remove cabinet under sink due to water turning to mold. Dave was honest , forthright, professional and fair in all he did. I appreciate Serv Pro and their timely help. Vicki
