What Happens After a House Fire
Do not go back in until the fire department says the house is safe, and have the power and gas checked before they are turned back on. Take photos of everything before anything is thrown out, because your insurance adjuster will want to see it.
Smoke damage usually goes well past the burned area. Soot settles on walls, ceilings and inside cabinets, and smoke is pulled through the HVAC system into rooms the fire never reached. Soot is acidic and can stain and pit surfaces the longer it sits, so cleanup should start as soon as the house is cleared.
- Debris removal: hauling out burned materials and contents that cannot be saved.
- Soot and smoke cleaning: walls, ceilings, cabinets, fixtures and ductwork.
- Odor removal: cleaning and sealing surfaces so the smell does not come back.
- Repairs: drywall, framing, cabinets, flooring and paint, done by our licensed general contracting crew. If you want to change the layout while the walls are open, we can turn it into a remodel.
