Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a house fire?
First, ensure everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the property. Then call your insurance company to report the claim, and contact a restoration contractor like us before re-entering. Soot and smoke can cause ongoing damage every hour.
Does insurance cover fire damage restoration?
Yes — fire damage is one of the most commonly covered insurance perils. Most homeowner policies cover structural repair, smoke/soot cleanup, odor removal, and temporary housing. We work directly with your insurer to maximize your claim.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
Minor fire damage can be restored in 1–2 weeks. Major structural fires can take 3–6+ months for full rebuild. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout.
Can smoke and soot damage be fully removed?
Yes. Professional smoke and soot removal uses industrial-grade equipment including thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and HEPA air scrubbing. DIY cleaning often spreads soot and makes it worse — professional restoration is essential.
Do you handle both structural and content restoration?
We specialize in structural restoration — framing, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, and painting. For content (furniture, electronics, clothing), we can recommend certified contents restoration partners in King County.
