A fire can severely damage your artwork to the point of them appearing to be beyond hope. You may see lost and raised paint, cracks, broken areas, contamination and staining. Secondary water damage can also occur when the flames are extinguished.

Water stains and deterioration from high humidity can be the result of flooding and leaks. On paintings, water damage can appear as a cloudy white surface – making the artwork appear to have been washed away. Luckily, our team has been able to restore this type of damage with excellent results. We can also treat stained paper, mould spores and structural issues.
It is important to have water damaged items professionally cleaned as the water may have dangerous chemicals, bacteria and other contaminants that will otherwise sit on the surface – causing concerns for yourself and the artwork.
