Q: What is the first step in fire damage restoration?

• <div><p>The first step in fire damage restoration is having a pro come in right away to help control moisture (if authorities used water to extinguish a fire at your home). Skipping moisture removal puts your home at risk for invasive mold and rot that can cause added property damage and health issues. Once you have the bulk of the water out, you&rsquo;ll need to run blower fans for 24 to 72 hours to remove moisture.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do you clean smoke damage?

• <div><p>The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that&rsquo;s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a home after fire damage restoration?

• <div><p>Regular HVAC filter changes, deep cleaning, and air quality monitoring help maintain a healthy environment.</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: 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>

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.
