Q: Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage restoration?

• <div><p>Homeowner&rsquo;s insurance will usually cover fire damage restoration unless you or someone in your home started the fire purposefully or if negligence was the underlying cause. In all other cases, including electrical fires, accidental cooking fires, and gas fires, you&rsquo;ll need to pay a deductible, but the rest of the costs should be covered. Once you have the fire out and the damage has stopped spreading, contact your insurance company to file a claim and get fast approval for remediation.</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 could happen if I don’t clean my chimney?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s not the most glamorous task, cleaning your chimney is vitally important to the safety of your home. Neglecting chimney cleaning can cause a blockage and buildup of toxic gasses in your flue, which could lead to a dangerous chimney fire. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to maintain your chimney and schedule annual cleanings from a professional.</p></div>

Q: Will smoke odors go away on their own?

• <div><p>Most smoke odors will subside over time if you air out the materials holding onto them, but they often won&rsquo;t completely go away on their own. If you&rsquo;re dealing with stubborn smoke odors on furniture and building materials, begin by deep cleaning and deodorizing with baking soda or activated charcoal. You may need to repeat treatment. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-smoke-damage.htm">hire a smoke damage restoration company</a> for help.</p></div>

"Lorenzo Mora returned my call right away & made an appointment for the next day. He asked questions about the problem & when he arrived he was professional, friendly & easy to work with. He tested several areas of where water could access & found it was dry & no problem. It turned out to be a couch recently purchased that had been treated by the store that was the source of the strange smell. And even though the problem was something else beside the walls & windows for potential water leaks; just knowing that the windows & sliders weren't leaking & is a GREAT RELIEF & his handling of this appointment was reasuring. We kept his business card & would recommend him & his company 100%. He answered all our questions & he is a great resource."
