Fire Damage Restoration
Professional fire damage restoration, smoke removal, and soot cleanup services in Chicago. We restore your property to pre-loss condition.
Recovering from Fire Damage
Fire damage is one of the most traumatic events a homeowner or business owner can experience. Beyond the immediate structural damage caused by flames, smoke and soot can penetrate deep into walls, furniture, and personal belongings, causing lingering odors and corrosion if not treated promptly.
At APT Water Restoration, we provide comprehensive fire damage restoration services to help you recover. Our IICRC-certified technicians understand the complexities of fire damage, including the different types of smoke residues (wet, dry, protein) and how to effectively clean them.
Our Fire Restoration Process
- Emergency Board-Up & Tarping: We secure your property immediately to prevent weather damage and unauthorized entry.
- Water Extraction & Drying: Firefighting often leaves behind water damage. We extract water and dry the area first to prevent mold.
- Smoke & Soot Removal: We use specialized equipment to remove soot from all surfaces, including ceilings, walls, and floors.
- Odor Removal: We don't just mask odors; we eliminate them using thermal fogging, ozone treatments, and hydroxyl generators.
- Restoration & Repairs: From minor repairs to major reconstruction, we rebuild your property to its pre-fire condition.
Why Professional Help Matters
Trying to clean up fire damage yourself can often make things worse. Improper cleaning methods can set stains and drive soot deeper into materials. Our professional team has the training, experience, and equipment to restore your property safely and effectively.
Why Choose APT for Fire Damage Restoration?
The Hidden Dangers of Waiting
Permanent Etching
Acidic soot residues can permanently etch glass, metal, and stone surfaces within 24-48 hours if not neutralized.
Hidden Smoke Damage
Smoke particles penetrate deep into wall cavities and insulation, causing odors that re-emerge on hot days for years to come.
Corrosion of Electronics
Smoke residue is conductive and corrosive, destroying sensitive electronics and appliances even if they weren't touched by flames.
