Dealing with Fire Damage?
Smoke fades, but damages don’t…
Fires damages are one of the most common claims encountered in the insurance industry, but that doesn’t make them any less devastating. When dealing with damages to an insured property caused by a fire - it is important to remember that the smoke resulting from the fire can sometimes cause even more damage than the fire itself. Once particulate matter from smoke comes into contact with porous surfaces (furniture, clothing, and even some types of polymer plastics) it can be nearly impossible to clean out. Fire losses that are adjusted without consideration for smoke damages often lead to inadequate repairs - resulting in a faint smell of fire/smoke that never goes away. However, with careful consideration for the damages brought on by smoke as well as the fire itself, it is possible to return to your structure to pre-loss condition.
