Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

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

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference. 

Ozone smoke removal makes use of an ozone generator to remove odors from building materials and belongings. Ozone is an unstable element that will oxidize organic compounds, so it can neutralize the odor when it interacts with smoke particles. Ozone can be an effective way to remove smoke smell from wood furniture, but it’s best to leave this treatment to a professional. Living in a house with smoke damage isn’t always safe, but improper use of an ozone generator can also be dangerous to your health.

If you don’t clean your chimney regularly, it can result in a build-up of creosote that can ignite and cause a chimney fire. In addition, creosote build-up can result in poor venting of smoke, soothes, and carbon monoxide, making the air quality indoors dangerously poor. Creosote is also acidic and can damage mortar and metal over time, allowing smoke to leak into your home.

Yes, most insurance plans cover acts of nature. In policy documents, this also may be called “Acts of God” or “natural disasters.” However, not all acts of nature are covered by your policy, and the extent to which they’re covered depends on your specific contract. Check your policy documents to understand your coverage limits and exclusions.
