Fire and smoke damage is especially destructive. In many instances your Oak Lawn property will also suffer from water damage from firefighting efforts.  We specialize in fire and water damage restoration; its the cornerstone of our business

Smoke and odor removal from structures that have had severe fire and water damage is a multi-phase process. One of the phases is to use a combination of ozone deodorization and wet or dry fogging. This will help to oxidize or neutralize the odor from the smoke. This should be applied by trained professionals to avoid health risks, or the potential for damage from the process itself.

After a smoke or fire damage, ceilings, walls, woodwork, carpeting and floors will often need a thorough cleaning. On our initial inspection, we will determine the extent of the damage and then use the specific equipment and cleaning products required to clean and protect the different types of surfaces found in your structure. Depending on the amount of soot, we may be able to reduce the cost of recovery by cleaning lighter soot deposits found on some surfaces, eliminating the expense incurred with repainting or refinishing.  In other cases, we may clean to prepare for painting.  This process deodorizes and ensures the new paint will adhere properly to the surface.
