In most cases, yes, damage caused by a flame is covered by your insurance policy. However, you should review your specific policy for the full scope of coverage. It's best to hire a professional restoration service to help you through the claims process. They can ensure that the entire loss is properly documented and covered. It's important to remember that your HVAC system will need to be cleaned of soot, and areas of your home may need restoration due to water damage from extinguishing the fire, even if they weren't directly affected by the fire.
Depending on the extent or location of the fire damage, homeowners may be able to move back in a few days or longer. The fire department will usually turn off electricity and gas to the property right away, and these utilities won't be restored until a building inspector declares that it's safe to turn them back on. If there is significant smoke damage and the home's occupants include elderly persons, young children, or those with chronic health conditions, it may be wise to stay until the smoke cleanup is complete. Hiring a company experienced in fire damage restoration like Trojan Flood & Fire can often expedite the process of returning home, as they'll have the resources to hire and manage the various tradespeople needed to make the home livable again.
Picking Up The Pieces After a Fire: Important Steps for Your Safe and Speedy Recovery
DIY soot removal is not recommended as commercially available products can cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot is primarily oil-based, but it also contains toxic and possibly biohazard contaminants.
Smoke damage often extends beyond a single area of the house, leaving behind residue that can hide in crevices and hard-to-reach places. Simple "airing out" may not be enough to address this issue. It is advisable to seek advice from a smoke damage technician who can assist you in determining the next steps.
