Colorado Company Restores Fire-Damaged Home in Rifle

SILT, CO – December 04, 2025 – RemediH2O, a Colorado-based disaster restoration company, has shared details of a recent fire damage restoration project completed in Rifle, Colorado. This project highlights the importance of professional restoration standards in returning fire-damaged properties to their original condition.

The restoration involved a residential property that suffered extensive soot, smoke, and odor damage due to a mechanical equipment malfunction. The project took two weeks and followed specialized protocols for effective recovery.

Tristen Morganstein, Owner of RemediH2O, emphasized, “Fire damage extends far beyond what property owners can see on the surface. Smoke particles penetrate deep into materials, and without proper restoration techniques, properties can face ongoing contamination and odor problems for months.”

The restoration process required immediate response and assessment, including systematic content restoration and deodorization. The team implemented specialized containment protocols to prevent cross-contamination while cleaning soot and smoke residue from affected areas.

To eliminate deeply embedded smoke odors, professional-grade cleaning chemistry and industrial deodorization equipment were used. This thorough restoration process encompasses multiple complex phases, including emergency property security, soot removal, smoke damage cleanup, and water damage management from firefighting efforts.

In recent years, demand for professional fire damage services has risen significantly across Colorado’s Western Slope, where immediate intervention is crucial to prevent secondary damage. Soot acidification can permanently etch surfaces within hours of exposure.

RemediH2O holds IICRC certification in fire, water, and mold restoration, ensuring consistent adherence to industry standards. Technicians analyze smoke behavior and contamination patterns, which are vital for achieving complete restoration. The company services residential and commercial properties throughout the Western Slope and Roaring Fork Valley.

Emergency response teams typically arrive within one to two hours of contact, providing round-the-clock disaster recovery services. In addition to fire restoration, RemediH2O provides comprehensive disaster recovery services such as water damage restoration, mold remediation, flood response, and biohazard cleanup.

The successful restoration of the Rifle property reinforces the value of professional services in disaster recovery. Properties that utilize industry-standard protocols achieve complete odor elimination and contamination removal, restoring safety and habitability.
