How much does it cost to repair a fire-damaged house?

• <div><p>Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.</p></div>

Q: Does smoke damage ever go away?

• <div><p>Smoke damage will not go away on its own, but with professional remediation and restoration, you can return your home to its original condition after a fire. Trained smoke restoration professionals can eliminate smoke damage, which can affect areas of your home that are hard to see or access, and restore or replace smoke-damaged materials.</p></div>

Q: Will smoke odors go away on their own?

• <div><p>Most smoke odors will subside over time if you air out the materials holding onto them, but they often won&rsquo;t completely go away on their own. If you&rsquo;re dealing with stubborn smoke odors on furniture and building materials, begin by deep cleaning and deodorizing with baking soda or activated charcoal. You may need to repeat treatment. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-smoke-damage.htm">hire a smoke damage restoration company</a> for help.</p></div>

Q: How likely is a chimney fire?

• <div><p>Depending on who&rsquo;s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren&rsquo;t exactly common&mdash;but they&rsquo;re not rare, either. Since they&rsquo;re so dangerous, it&rsquo;s important to take precautions to prevent them.</p></div>

Q: Should carpet be replaced after a house fire?

• <div><p>Even if they look fine, carpets should be replaced after smoke damage since they can absorb smoke, soot, and water all the way into the carpet padding. Fully removing smoke, fire, and water damage from carpeting can be a complicated and time-consuming process, so replacing the carpet is a safer bet.</p></div>

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...

Went without any major problems. Heater was attached to a water soft machine, one of the connectors broke and they bdid not have one, had to order and return to fix. This did not cause any problem, a bypass was made, and the heater was able to be used.
