RestorationMaster
While the flames of a fire are destructive, the majority of the damage actually occurs after the fire is already out. The smoke and soot created from the combustion of burning contents have the most damaging effect. When quick action is not taken, these byproducts are left to spread throughout the property and cause permanent damage to the remaining surfaces.
As soon as the fire department has declared the property safe to re-enter, don’t hesitate to call for emergency restoration services. RestorationMaster is available in New Lenox and Mokena, IL to provide fire damage restoration services for homes and buildings as soon as the flames are out. Our technicians are available 24/7, responding immediately to your first call to start the restoration process.
Problems with Fire Damage
hen the flames cause the chemical combustion of the building materials and contents in your home or building, smoke and soot will spread throughout the property to cover the remaining surfaces in a thick, oily residue. If not addressed right away, they will cause permanent damage to the walls, flooring, furnishings, ceiling, and contents of your property.
Causing etching and tarnishing, the smoke and soot will compromise the structural integrity of the building materials. But it’s not recommended to use household cleaning agents and restore the structure and contents yourself. Doing so can actually worsen the damage, creating the need to replace them later. The products and equipment used by RestorationMaster are designed to remove smoke and soot, allowing us to return a number of household surfaces and contents to their original condition.
