Fire Restoration

In the unfortunate event that you experience fire damage in your home or business, call Rainbow Restoration® of Chicago North Shore for professional restoration service. It is important that the clean-up begins as soon as possible. Smoke residues are acidic in nature and with time they will cause surfaces to corrode or stain permanently. Smoke residues that were pressurized during the fire will permeate cracks and crevices of building materials and deposit odor-causing residues.

Rainbow Restoration of Chicago North Shore Service Professionals will work quickly to stop the damage and restore your home and contents back to pre-fire condition by using cleaning systems and equipment that will help eliminate costly replacement of restorable items.Smoke odors can be difficult to remove due to its penetration and absorption into building materials. Rainbow’s Service Professionals have the knowledge, products and equipment to permanently remove these stubborn odors. All technicians are certified by the IICRC.

    I highly recommend Rainbow Restoration! They did an excellent job and were able to fit us in right after I called and their rates were by far the best I found. They take great pride in their work and that was apparent on the job they did.
