Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

You’ll know you have smoke damage if you notice a lingering smoky odor, see soot or residue, or spot any discoloration of surfaces in your home. If you have any kind of house fire, always assume you have smoke damage and hire a professional who deals with smoke damage to assess the extent of the damage and restore your home to its pre-fire condition.

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

Most insurance policies cover fire damage. Be sure to check the details of your policy to see how coverage is calculated—it can be either the full replacement cost of damaged materials and items or the actual cash value, which includes depreciation. When making a fire damage claim, be sure to get all the necessary documentation together to help expedite the process. 

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more. Storing them in well-ventilated spaces and disposing of them the proper way are the best ways to prevent mineral spirits or anything contaminated with them, like towels and rags, from going up in smoke.

Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.
