Smoke & Fire Restoration Services

Since 2007, we have been helping business owners, risk managers, and property management professionals restore their commercial properties throughout Chicago after they have suffered a fire loss. Each day that a business is closed affects your bottom line. Our fire division seeks to minimize the financial impact that fire and smoke damage caused by helping you to get your business or your commercial facility back up and running as quickly as possible.

Fire manifests itself in various ways, and each type of damage requires slightly different techniques for cleaning it appropriately. Fires are categorized in 3 primary ways: protein, natural, and synthetic. Each produces unique smoke and soot damage. Rainbow Restoration of South & West Suburbs has the knowledge and experience to determine what cleaning and deodorization applications are best suited to restore your building.

As soon as we receive the call, our certified team is dispatched to assess the aftermath. Each commercial fire is unique and creates its own set of challenges. Even though the loss may have originated from a fire and the building is structurally sound, soot and smoke damage can linger while wreaking havoc throughout the structure.  In some cases, the building may not be structurally sound, so safety is a concern. Water mitigation may also be required as fire damage is often accompanied by water damage that was left behind by the fire department. No matter the situation, the safety of the building occupants is our first priority.

During our assessment, we will document the damage in 3D by scanning the environment that will be shared with you. Rainbow Restoration offers comprehensive loss documentation on fire and water losses with 3D technology. We can capture any loss in its entirety, including its exact dimensions. Not only does this serve the purpose of thoroughly documenting the structure's condition, but it also captures the condition of the contents.

We will determine if there is a need for any temporary security measures such as boarding up or tarping over any openings, fencing, etc. We will also isolate affected electrical lines and install temporary power if needed.

After the property has been inspected, our service professionals will take the necessary precautions to stabilize the building by performing water extraction, dehumidification, cleaning up fallen debris, exhaust smoke odors, etc. A project manager will also inquire about the important items that you want to be addressed immediately; IT, contents, etc. 

Once we have discussed our plan of action with you and we have been given approval, mitigation can begin. All of our restoration efforts are documented throughout the process. If your damage warrants filing an insurance claim, we work hand in hand with the adjuster and provide them with the appropriate documentation.
