Q: Does drywall need to be replaced after smoke damage?

• <div><p>You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort.

It&rsquo;s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.</p></div>

Q: Do professionals offer emergency repairs?

Q: What do I do if my dryer catches on fire?

If you can&rsquo;t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home&rsquo;s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn&rsquo;t any damage.</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 mineral spirits combust?
