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: How much does it cost to repair a fire-damaged house?

• <div><p>Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more&mdash;it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you&rsquo;re buying a home with fire damage, though, it&rsquo;s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.</p></div>

Q: Is food cooked in a smoking oven safe to eat?

• <div><p>It depends. For new ovens, it&rsquo;s best to run a few empty cycles to prepare the oven for use and to keep any manufacturing byproducts from entering your food. But if your oven is smoking due to a few burnt pieces of old food, then it probably won&rsquo;t hurt to eat it. If there&rsquo;s a lot of smoke, then your food probably won&rsquo;t taste good, even if it might not be harmful to consume.</p></div>

Q: Is smoke damage toxic?

• <div><p>If untreated, smoke damage is definitely toxic. Carbon and tar are two types of toxic chemicals in smoke that can damage your lungs and other parts of your body if you breathe them in for long periods of time. If you still smell smoke after the fire, it&rsquo;s important that you call your restoration team for support. </p></div>

Q: What are the risks of damaged solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels that haven&rsquo;t been properly inspected and maintained pose several risks to homeowners. Firstly, a dirty, obstructed, or malfunctioning solar panel won&rsquo;t be able to generate as much power, which could lead to power shortages and wasted money. But more importantly, neglected solar panel arrays can become dangerous if left for too long. Corroded wires and exposed circuitry are fire hazards, so it&rsquo;s strongly recommended to keep up with regular maintenance to protect your home.</p></div>
