Fire is considered one of the most dangerous natural disasters because of its potential to destroy property and threaten people’s lives. Fires are dangerous because they can start at any time and quickly spread throughout your property. Your priority should be to evacuate the building and call the fire department to extinguish the fire.
However, the damage caused by fire lingers long after the flames are put out. Corrosive byproducts like soot and smoke will remain imbedded in your furnishing and belongings until your property is cleaned and restored.
RestorationMaster provides fire and smoke damage restoration for homes and businesses with fire damage in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Upon arrival, our professionals will stabilize the building in order to prevent further damage to your property. We will then restore your objects and materials that were damaged by soot and smoke in the fire.
Problems Caused by Fire Damage
Fire causes several layers of damage to your property. The flames themselves destroy furnishings and the structural elements of your building, and corrosive byproducts can harm objects and materials afterward. Burning of synthetic materials creates corrosive byproducts, such as soot, smoke, and residue, and these byproducts linger after the fire is out. This secondary damage is why it’s so important to have restoration work done immediately after a fire.
Smoke odors can linger after both the fire and the restoration process if materials and furnishings are not properly cleaned. Smoke odor particles are absorbed by porous materials and can cause lasting non-physical damage. Our technicians will use advanced deodorization methods and equipment, such as thermal fogging, ozone technology, hydroxyl technology, and Nano carbo technology, to eliminate all smoke odor particles.
