Frequently Asked Questions
Can I go back into my home after a fire?
Not until it's been cleared as structurally safe. The fire department clears a scene for their purposes, which doesn't include confirming the building is safe to occupy. Heat can weaken structural members in ways that aren't visible. A restoration crew performs a safety assessment before anyone re-enters for cleanup. After a contained fire, unaffected areas can often be re-entered fairly quickly; larger fires may require temporary displacement.
The fire was small. Why does the whole house smell of smoke?
Smoke travels through ductwork, wall cavities, and air-pressure differences independent of the fire's size. A contained kitchen fire routinely deposits odor compounds throughout an entire house within hours, especially if the HVAC system was running. The size of the fire isn't a reliable indicator of how far the smoke damage spread. A professional room-by-room assessment is the only accurate way to scope it.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
It depends entirely on the scope. A contained kitchen fire with moderate smoke might be fully restored in three to six weeks, while a significant fire with structural damage and full reconstruction can take three to six months. Mitigation and cleanup come first, then reconstruction after the insurance scope is settled. A restoration company gives you a realistic timeline after assessing the property.
Will my insurance cover fire and smoke damage?
Fire and smoke damage are covered under standard homeowners policies, including structural repair, smoke and soot cleanup, the water damage from extinguishing the fire, content cleaning or replacement, and additional living expenses if you're displaced. The key to a complete settlement is thorough documentation of every affected area and item. The restoration crews in our network document the full scope and work directly with your adjuster.
Can smoke-damaged belongings be cleaned and saved?
Many items people assume are total losses can be restored: clothing, upholstered furniture, electronics, documents, and artwork can often be cleaned and deodorized through professional content restoration. The key is getting them into professional care quickly, before soot continues to etch surfaces and odor bonds more permanently. Items that can't be salvaged are documented and included in the personal property claim.
