Fire Damage Related Info
Fires are different than other disasters because they cause so much damage so quickly and they put you and your family at great risk for physical harm. It is crucial to make sure everyone has safely evacuated and that the fire is put out, and you cannot hesitate to begin the restoration process after the fire is out. Lingering soot and corrosive byproducts can continue to spread damage to various materials that will become permanently affected without quick restoration. RestorationMaster provides fire damage restoration services to help restore and cleanup the damage caused by fires in Milwaukee, WI 53172 area. We can effectively minimize and restore the damage with our state-of-the-art cleaning products and equipment.
Emergency Smoke Damage Cleanup
At RestorationMaster, we consider fire damage restoration an emergency service because the damage will continue to get worse. Our technicians are IICRC-certified and have received classroom and on-the-job training to handle fire damage restoration in any setting regardless of the extent of the damage. We are experts in providing corrosion control, neutralization, and cleaning to restore surfaces and objects affected by the fire, smoke, or corrosive byproducts.
The reason you must call for fire damage restoration as soon as possible is because the soot from the smoke and corrosive byproducts continue to cause damage. When synthetic materials are burned, the chemical reactions that take place result in corrosive byproducts that along with soot, can tarnish and etch a wide range of household surfaces and objects. We have the right chemical cleaners to remove tarnishing and etching before it causes the affected surfaces to become permanently damaged.
