RestorationMaster
No homeowner or business owner wants to think about a fire happening on their property. Fires can cause devastating damage very quickly while putting your life in immediate danger. It is important to evacuate the building and call the fire department to put out the fire, and you cannot hesitate to call a restoration professional. Corrosive byproducts like smoke and soot will continue to spread after the fire is out and the damage they cause can become permanent without quick cleaning and restoration.
At RestorationMaster, we provide complete fire damage restoration services in Perris, CA to help homes and businesses that were damaged by a fire. We will handle every aspect of the restoration from structural repairs to cleaning smoke and soot to fully restore your property.
Damage from Fire and Smoke
The damage caused by fire and smoke is often extensive and multi-layered. First, the flames of the fire will burn through everything in their path, and they can leave the structural core of a home or building heavily damaged and unstable. As materials are burned in the fire, corrosive byproducts like smoke and soot are created and they will spread and cause tarnishing and etching to affected surfaces and materials. Even after the fire is out, these corrosive byproducts will continue to spread and cause damage in areas the fire didn’t reach, and the damage they cause can become permanent without specialized cleaning.
The other major problem caused by a fire is lingering smoke odor. Smoke odor is quite potent, and it hangs around because the odor particles can become trapped in porous building materials and furnishings. The only way to get rid of smoke odors is with professional deodorization methods.
