Q: What should you not do after a house fire?

• <div><p>After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it&rsquo;s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs&mdash;and this is all likely covered by insurance.</p></div>

Q: How much does fire or smoke damage recovery cost?

• <div><p>Restoration costs range from $3,000 to $50,000, depending on damage severity and affected areas.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair major damage myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.</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 do you get a smoke smell out of your house?

• <div><p>Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.</p></div>
