"We recently had a tree branch punch through our roof, letting the rain come in. We were recommended to use Altru Restoration by a roofing company. They were able to come in quickly and worked with the roofing company to prevent the rain from traveling into the other rooms. While a few of our belongings were damaged and soaked, they connected us with a contents restoration company to help us get them taken care of. All in all, they were very good with their communication with us, as well as being prompt with their initial response. Highly recommend this company!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it’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—and this is all likely covered by insurance.

Homeowners insurance does not cover DIY mistakes, so tread lightly if you plan to tackle your own home repairs or renovations. If you cause damage to your home while attempting repairs or renovations yourself, the cost of fixing the damage is often considered your responsibility. Most policies only cover damage caused by covered perils like fire, theft, or weather—not by homeowner errors.

Regular HVAC filter changes, deep cleaning, and air quality monitoring help maintain a healthy environment.

On average, you should expect the fire damage restoration process to take two weeks, but the timeline can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage and the type of fire damage you have. Minor cooking fires that you’re able to extinguish yourself may only take a day or two to clean soot and remove smoke odors, while restoring an entire section of a home or fixing structural damage after a major house fire can take six to 12 months. Ask your professional for a more accurate timeline for your specific project.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.
