Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage?

• <div><p>Yes, most homeowner&rsquo;s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you&rsquo;re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.</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: How long does fire damage take to repair?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-fire-restoration-takes.htm">Fire damage restoration can take</a> as little as a week to repair minor damage, but a full property renovation after a major fire can take longer than a year, including time to get approval for the work and get your contractors paid through your insurance company. Overall, it&rsquo;s always best to talk to your insurance provider and your repair team about your individual situation to get the best estimate.</p></div>

Q: Does a seller have to disclose fire damage when selling a house?

• <div><p>Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage. </p></div>

The two guys were very fast, efficient and cleaned up all of the mess. There was damage to one window screen, one panel of the patio door and missing part for the door which they are replacing and taking care of it for us. We were very pleased.
