One of the most detrimental disasters a property can go through is a fire. Fires occur quickly and cause extensive damage. Even after the flames have been extinguished, the damage will continue. It is crucial to seek restoration for fire-damaged properties immediately. Corrosive byproducts from burnt synthetic materials and soot from smoke will cause etching and tarnishing, which will remain permanent without quick restoration.

We respond immediately and use advanced cleaning equipment to restore your property. We understand the urgency to prevent the damage from worsening and spreading which is why we are available 24 hours a day.
Damaged Caused by Fire
The flames of a fire can spread quickly through a property and cause extensive structural damage. As these materials burn, corrosive byproducts like soot and smoke are created and these materials will remain after the fire is out. This is why you should not hesitate to start the restoration of your property after extinguishing the fire.
The majority of building materials and objects throughout a home or business are made using synthetic materials. When these materials are burned, they produce chemical emissions such as residue and soot that will continue to spread even after the fire is put out. The chemical emissions and soot cause damage by tarnishing and etching surfaces like aluminum, carpeting, brass, chrome, marble, tile, and more. If not restored right away, the etching and tarnishing can become permanent.
Our team at RestorationMaster can help by repairing and restoring any damaged structural elements, furnishings, and other objects.
