Fire Damage Restoration Companies
Fire and Smoke Damage Cleanup
Serving the Cortez and Durango Area Since 2004
The destruction caused by fire or flooding has a long-range negative impact on the lives of you and your family, not the least of which is the loss of valuables and photographs. The Flood Doctor works hard to minimize that damage.
​
Even though a fire has come to an end, there are continuing consequences; for example, complex chemical reactions from the burning of synthetic materials found in flooring and furniture. If those damaged materials are not immediately dealt with, they can become unsalvageable instead of merely cleanable.
​
Our restoration technicians are experts who understand how certain chemical combinations can more effectively clean your prized possessions, which aids in lessening ongoing expenses. Items such as carpets, upholstery, marble, tile and porcelain, brass, aluminum, and chrome can be adversely affected by soot. Let us remove that risk for you with efficiency.
“I hope I never ever have to call you again, but I would definitely recommend you to anyone who does need your service. ”
