There are many things to consider after a fire occurs. What is going to happen to my belongings? Will the smoke odor be removed from my home? How long will it take before I can return to my home? Rainbow Restoration has assisted many Chicago homeowners by cleaning up their fire and smoke damage over the years. We have since developed economical and comprehensive solutions to restore your property and belongings. Our service professionals will educate you, communicate what to expect, and walk you through the entire process.
Rainbow Restoration's service professionals are IICRC certified and trained to address fire damage and smoke odor instead of choosing a general contractor to address your fire mitigation. When a fire occurs, building materials heat up, causing their pores to expand. Smoke particles become trapped in the wall's pores as the building begins to cool, and the pores then contract. If the property is not properly restored before the build-back, the smoke odor will reappear. Especially on warm summer days that cause pores in the building materials to expand.
Smoke damage repair is best performed by trained professionals who know how to properly implement ozone and thermal fogging applications to eliminate smoke odor. Soot can etch surfaces, tarnish metals, and yellow plastics, and embed itself into upholstery, clothing, and carpet, so it is important that you choose a restoration contractor that is experienced in cleaning soot and smoke damage.
Sometimes, the steps taken to put out the blaze can cause more damage than the actual fire. This is why fire restoration is an elaborate and invasive process, as it deals with heat, soot, smoke, and water damage.
If your personal property is damaged, our contents division can pack out your contents and safely relocate your belongings to our secure facility to clean and store them while remediation takes place.
Our fire damage service professionals are well-versed in insurance claims. We can help you determine if your fire or smoke damage will exceed your insurance deductible. If your damage warrants filing an insurance claim, Rainbow Restoration's service professionals will work with your adjuster throughout the process and will provide your insurance carrier with our documentation.
The longer your personal property and building components sit unaddressed, the more damage they can encounter. Contact Rainbow Restoration at (800) 262-0244 so that we can assess your property, and your contents, and provide an action plan.
Contents Pack-Out
We know that your personal property and business inventory are important to you. Therefore, it is important to us. Our content professionals handle your content with the utmost care while evaluating, inventorying, moving, and cleaning your items.
If your home or business has suffered damage, it is more than likely that your contents did too. Some of your contents may need to be removed and relocated to an off-site facility for prompt and thorough cleaning and restoration, while other items need to be inventoried as a total loss. If your contents suffered smoke damage and are salvageable, it is often easier, more secure, and cost-efficient to pack them out and clean them at our facility.
Our contents division implements an electronic inventory system that photo inventories, catalogs, and barcodes all of your contents that were removed from your home or business. This time-saving technology aids in the production and precise tracking of your content. The pack-out process involves meticulous documentation to ensure your items receive the best possible care, including photo documentation, identification numbers, and detailed lists.
We offer home and business owners full-service content restoration, including inventory, pack-out, cleaning, and storage. Rainbow Restoration is the leading content restoration company in Chicago, Illinois.
Storage
Once your personal property has been restored, it is stored within Rainbow's secure, climate-controlled facility until it is time for your belongings to be returned to your home or business.
