What fire leaves behind
- Soot and residue that settles on walls, ceilings, cabinets and belongings, and can stain or corrode surfaces if left too long.
- Smoke odor that works into drywall, insulation, carpet, clothing and HVAC ducts.
- Water damage from hoses and sprinklers, which needs the same extraction and drying as any other leak.
- Structural and security issues such as broken windows or roof openings that need to be boarded up or tarped.
Kitchen and electrical fires are the most common causes inside homes. In summer, brush fires in dry vegetation can also send smoke into nearby houses, even when the flames never reach them.
What a fire restoration provider typically does
- Assess and secure the property, including board-up and roof tarping if needed.
- Remove water from firefighting and start drying.
- Clean soot and smoke residue from surfaces, contents and, where needed, ductwork.
- Treat odor with specialized cleaning and deodorizing methods.
- Repair and rebuild damaged areas, often coordinated with your insurer.
Before you go back inside
- Wait until the fire department says the building is safe to enter.
- Do not turn on electrical systems or HVAC until they have been checked.
- Avoid wiping soot yourself. It smears easily and can set stains.
- Photograph damage and call your insurance company to start a claim.
