Considering the amount of destruction and damage that a fire can cause to properties and how it threatens people’s lives, a fire is seen as one of the worst disasters. Fires can happen at any moment, and it doesn’t take long for the fire to spread throughout and destroy your property. This makes it important to extinguish a fire, but the damage isn’t done after the flames are out. Smoke, soot, and other corrosive byproducts will continue to harm your property until it’s properly cleaned and restored.
In San Diego, CA, RestorationMaster helps fire-damaged homes and businesses by providing them with fire and smoke damage restoration services. When we arrive at your property, our technicians get to work right away by stabilizing the building. This will prevent your property from sustaining further damage. Then, we proceed by moving on to the pre-cleaning process, where we restore the materials and objects that were damaged by smoke and soot.
Smoke Damage – San Diego, CA
When it comes to a fire, there are numerous layers of damage. The flames cause the initial damage, destroying structural elements and furnishings. Corrosive byproducts cause secondary damage, harming various objects and building materials as they spread throughout the property. The corrosive byproducts — including residue, smoke, and soot — are a result of synthetic materials burning. This secondary damage will continue even after the fire has been put out – because the byproducts are still lingering. Knowing this, it’s imperative to have the restoration done right away.
If affected by corrosive byproducts, materials and objects can become discolored and experience etching. These effects will become permanent if not cleaned properly. Whether it’s tile, carpeting, aluminum, upholstery, or another material, we can thoroughly clean these items because we are equipped with the proper cleaning products.

Smoke Odor
Lingering smoke odor is one example of non-physical damage that a fire can cause. Smoke odors can continue to linger well after a fire is out and even after restoration, too. It’s tough to remove smoke odors because their particles are absorbed by and trapped in porous materials. We will effectively eliminate the odor particles from air spaces and materials by using our advanced deodorization equipment and methods. This includes thermal fogging, ozone technology, Nano carbon technology, and hydroxyl technology.
Don’t hesitate to get restoration help following a fire, because the damage will only worsen the longer you wait. At RestorationMaster, our technicians will get to work right away to limit the fire, smoke, and soot damage and fully restore your property.
