Fire Damage Related Info
Because property fires are known to cause the most damage out of all natural disasters, restoration services are crucial when treating the property. In addition, fires are also extremely dangerous as the smoke can cause severe coughing and breathing problems. After ensuring that everyone has evacuated safely, the fire department must be called immediately to put out the flames. But many property owners are not aware that the smoke and soot left behind from a fire will cause the most damage to the affected building materials.
This is why RestorationMaster arrives right away to provide fire and smoke damage restoration services in Park Ridge, IL. Our technicians will first prevent the damage from spreading and then begin the restoration work, using advanced products, equipment, and techniques. As we repair all properties from fire, smoke, and soot damage, you can return to a clean safe living environment once again.
Soot and Smoke Damage
Even after the flames have been extinguished, smoke and soot left behind will cause etching and tarnishing to the affected materials. This will cause additional, if not permanent damage to the rest of your property. These include the walls, carpet, furniture, ceiling, and all personal items. The professionals of RestorationMaster use the highest quality products and techniques in order to create complex chemical reactions to restore all affected materials. Finally, your Park Ridge, IL home or building structure can be restored to its original condition without sustaining additional damage from the products.
Content Cleaning and Pack-Outs
If your personal content has been affected during or after the fire, we can also provide content cleaning and pack-out services to have them effectively brought back to their original conditions.
If the condition of your property is too damaged to have them restored on-site, we will pack and restore them at our facility. They will then be delivered to your door when the restoration process on your property is complete.
Fire Damage Cleanup
While fires can cause significant damage to a property’s building materials, smoke and soot are the main contributors. However, there are some materials that will sustain damage faster than others. These are known as materials, including drywall, paint, and fabrics, as their spongy materials will easily trap smoke and soot residue. RestorationMaster will address these first as they are the most prone to sustain permanent damage.
