Q: What happens to stucco in a fire?

• <div><p>All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won&rsquo;t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.</p></div>

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. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It&rsquo;s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.</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: 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>

I could not have asked for better service. They did an excellent job. They arrived when promised and the crew did an outstanding job. I had power lines in the way and this was not an issue for them. As far as the cleanup they did there was no debris left behind.
