Spring Storm Knocks Out Power in Grayslake?

We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Lake County.

Our local Northwest Lake County team responds to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Lake County. Grayslake residents know they can rely on us to restore storm damage “Like it never even happened.” The United States Department of Agriculture offers these helpful tips for food safety during a power outage:

• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed
• The refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours. If the power is off longer, you can transfer food to a cooler and fill it with ice or frozen gel packs. Make sure there is enough ice to keep food in the cooler at 40°F or below. Add more ice to the cooler as it begins to melt.
• A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full)
• Obtain dry ice or block ice if your power is going to be out for a prolonged period. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot freezer for 2 days. (Caution: Do not touch dry ice with bare hands or place it in direct contact with food.)
• In freezers, food in the front, in the door, or in small, thin packages will defrost faster than large, thick items or food in the back or bottom of the unit
