Fire Damage

What to do — and what NOT to touch — after a residential fire so you protect both your safety and your insurance claim.
Full Transcript
After the fire department clears the scene, do not re-enter until a structural assessment is complete. Soot is acidic and will etch metal, glass, and finishes within 48 hours, so emergency board-up and content pack-out should happen the same day. Do not run HVAC. Do not wipe walls. Do not throw anything away. Estate Solutions handles emergency board-up, soot containment, contents inventory, and the full insurance reconstruction.
