RestorationMaster
While the idea of a property fire can sound traumatic, many home and business owners shy away from the thought. But in reality, fire damage is common as a result of various sources around the home or building. From burning candles to fireplaces to overloaded circuits, flames can start and spread in seconds, consuming both the structure and contents in a matter of minutes.
RestorationMaster is a leading provider of emergency fire damage restoration services in the Auburn, IN area. Our technicians treat all fire damage situations as emergencies, arriving within 2 hours of the first call with all cleaning products and equipment to repair and restore the affected area(s).
Types of Fire Damage
It doesn’t take much to start a fire. Simply forgetting to remove the lint from the dryer filter is enough to spark a flame. But if it was running and nobody is home at the time of the accident, it could mean the end of the home or building.
But to make matters worse is that even after the flames have been extinguished by the fire department, the damage continues to spread from the remaining smoke and soot. While it can take hours for the smoke to dissipate, it will cover all remaining materials and contents, leaving them covered in an oily, thick residue. While it is possible to have it removed, quick action must be taken to avoid permanent damage.
Fire Damage Restoration in Auburn, IN
When contacting the professionals of RestorationMaster, our technicians will arrive right away, conduct the initial inspection, stabilize the property (if needed), and start the restoration process.
While many surfaces will need to be cleaned in order to remove that oily soot residue, sometimes controlled demolition is necessary to restore the structure. This includes small construction to replace drywall, carpeting, wood floors, and other destroyed materials. But after all repairs and cleaning of the materials, we will address that powerful smoke odor left behind from the fire. Using ozone and hydroxyl technology, our equipment will penetrate through the particles and eliminate them from within. Finally, we will work with your insurance agency during the claims process to allow you to focus on other matters.
