ProTech Restoration
Even after the flames are extinguished, the damage can still spread throughout the rest of the property. This is why it’s important to take action right away, as soon as the fire department clears your home or building to be safe to re-enter.
When the damage spreads, smoke and soot byproducts will quickly settle into your furniture, floors, and walls, as well as other building materials on your property. As these contaminants are also corrosive, they can compromise the structural makeup of your building materials, causing permanent damage.
When addressing this problem right away, vast amounts of time and money can be saved during the restoration process because you won’t have to replace everything. ProTech Restoration provides professional fire damage restoration services for homes and buildings in Joliet, IL and the surrounding areas. Our fire mitigation equipment and products are designed to restore all structures and belongings to their original condition.
Damages Caused by Fires
hile the flames cause chemical combustion and permanent damage right away, everyone is also at risk of personal injury. Most people will feel a big sense of relief once the flames are out, but this doesn’t mean that the damage stops here.
Etching and tarnishing occurs to all unaffected surfaces as the smoke and soot byproducts spread throughout the property. Treating these surfaces right away is crucial towards avoiding permanent damage. It’s also common to deal with smoke odors, another issue that must be addressed quickly as the particles become embedded into porous building materials.

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"

"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
