Q: What is the difference between hazard insurance and homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Hazard insurance is the part of your overall homeowner's insurance policy that covers the structure of your home and other structures on your property, as well as any personal property within those structures. When a lender requires you to get hazard insurance for your new home purchase, they&rsquo;re referring to a standard homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policy.</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>

Q: Is it safe to live in a house with smoke damage?

• <div><p>It is generally not safe to live in a house with smoke damage, as even minor damage can pose long-term health hazards and structural risks. While it might seem safe temporarily depending on the severity, you should relocate if there is major damage or visible soot. Smoke smells and residue contain dangerous particulates and chemical compounds, including carcinogens, that are hazardous to breathe and can cause respiratory issues. These signs of damage are not always visible but can have dangerous short-term and long-term effects on your health, belongings, and your home's structural materials. You should not stay in the house until a trained professional from a smoke remediation or restoration company has assessed the damage and determined it is safe to return. Your insurance company may cover the cost of alternative housing while the professional work is completed.</p></div>

Q: Is smoke damage toxic?

• <div><p>If untreated, smoke damage is definitely toxic. Carbon and tar are two types of toxic chemicals in smoke that can damage your lungs and other parts of your body if you breathe them in for long periods of time. If you still smell smoke after the fire, it&rsquo;s important that you call your restoration team for support. </p></div>

Q: Can smoke damage be completely removed?

• <div><p>In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smoke-damage-types.htm">types of smoke damage</a> from walls and ceilings, but it&rsquo;s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you&rsquo;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.</p></div>
