In most cases, a fire burns a building from the inside out. Even if the fire was small and contained to one room, the smoke travels, so you are more than likely to have more damage than you actually can see. Smoke absorbs itself into the walls, carpets, and even clothing. There could be a long-lasting lingering smoke smell if the structure was not properly cleaned.

Fire Damage
There is no discounting the danger and disruption a fire can cause. These damages can range from just a room or two to a total loss. Each fire claim is very different and there is no “standard” situation.
With a few simple steps, we can help you understand what to do and where to set your expectations when dealing with the insurance company after you experience fire damage.
- Under safe conditions, take very detailed photos before touching anything.
- Use common sense and remove only what you cannot live without.
- Beware of anyone removing or “packing out” your contents (including anyone “sent” by the insurance company). Find out upfront what you are being charged and what the “scope of work” will be.
- Take notes when you meet with your insurance company adjuster.
- Ask questions. Keep in mind the age of your home (asbestos/lead) and belongings (number of items).
- Do your homework before hiring anyone (restoration companies, cleaning companies, etc).
