How long does it take to restore a house after a fire?

• <div><p>On average, you should expect the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-fire-restoration-takes.htm">fire damage restoration process to take</a> two weeks, but the timeline can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the type of fire damage you have. Minor cooking fires that you’re able to extinguish yourself may only take a day or two to clean soot and remove smoke odors, while restoring an entire section of a home or fixing structural damage after a major house fire can take six to 12 months. Ask your professional for a more accurate timeline for your specific project. </p></div>

Q: How serious is a short circuit?

• <div><p>Short circuits can cause significant damage to electrical appliances, bodily harm, and potentially death to humans. For this reason, they are a serious occurrence. If you&rsquo;re unable to find and fix a short circuit on your own, you must reach out to a licensed electrician for help.</p></div>

Q: Can smoke damage be completely removed?

• <div><p>In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smoke-damage-types.htm">types of smoke damage</a> from walls and ceilings, but it&rsquo;s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you&rsquo;ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.</p></div>

Q: Will homeowner’s insurance cover fire damage?

• <div><p>Homeowner&rsquo;s insurance will almost always cover fire damage and repairs unless your insurer finds the fire was caused intentionally. In most cases, if the fire was an accident, your provider will cover the cost of emergency services, like roof tarping and emergency securing, as well as the actual fire damage remediation and buildback to bring your home back to its previous condition. They should also cover alternative housing for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-fire-restoration-takes.htm">as long as the fire damage restoration takes</a>. You&rsquo;ll just be responsible for paying the deductible.</p></div>

Q: Do services include smoke odor removal?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals use specialized treatments to remove smoke odors and improve indoor air quality.</p></div>

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.

"I appreciate so much the job that Luke did for me in Oakhurst. I had been seeing a pulmonologist for breathing problems. She asked me if I had any mold in my home and I told her I wasn't aware of any. When I got home I decided to clean out my bathroom under the sink cabinet. And realized I did have a problem. I called Luke at Fresno mold busters. I am so glad that I did. My breathing is so much better after my home has been treated. Luke is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. I am looking forward to my next appt. with my pulmonologist!! Oh and by the way Luke is a very nice man, too. "
