When a fire occurs at a home or property, it can be devastating and very costly to repair. Even after the fire has been put out, soot and smoke can cause further damage including etching and tarnishing of materials. You should call a professional right away after the fire is out to stop the damage from spreading further.
RestorationMaster provides fire damage restoration services to help homes and businesses in Morrison, CO that have experienced a fire. We will respond right away to your call to clean up and restore your property using the best equipment and cleaning products.
Damage Caused by Fire
The flames of a fire cause significant damage as they burn through a home or building. However, the smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts that are created as materials are burned often cause even more damage than the flames. These corrosive byproducts will continue to spread after the fire is out and cause tarnishing and etching to the affected materials. If the restoration is not done quickly the damage will become permanent.
RestorationMaster can help restore surfaces and objects damaged by smoke and soot and repair structural damage caused by the fire.
