What Kind of Damage Needs to Be Repaired After a House Fire?
Whether a house fire or nearby wildfire was recently extinguished, you’ll likely discover that the damage fire and smoke left behind is unique and severe.
Not only does direct contact with the flames and radiant heat shatter windows, melt appliances, and destroy interiors, but the smoke, soot, and ash produced will damage your home even more beyond the initially affected areas, leading to discolored walls, trapped smoke odors, and nasty residues.
Some other examples of fire and smoke damage that’ll need to be removed from the home include:
- HVAC System Damage – Smoke can become trapped in your HVAC system, creating an unhealthy cycle. Flames can also cause bad damage to your ductwork. A comprehensive clean-up and repair plan is needed to restore indoor air quality.
- Water Damage – Your flooring, walls, ceilings, and more will become saturated with dirty water once firefighting efforts are used. Proper water mitigation and damage restoration will need to be done to prevent complications involving mold growth and wood rot, to name a few.
- Foundation Damage – The foundation may be damaged when a home catches fire. If this happens, professional damage restoration and reconstruction will need to take place before you live there safely again.
Due to the specific and unique type of damage left behind by house fires, it’s important to skip any DIY fire damage repairs or clean-up and trust the professionals instead. Our team will identify all the areas affected by fire, smoke, and water and create a detailed action plan to get your home’s restoration started!

- Identifying the source to determine what type of fire occurred
- Remediating water damage (if necessary)
