Signs of Fire & Smoke Damage
Fire damage isn’t always just about what was burned. It can affect hidden areas of your property in ways you might not expect:
• Visible Fire & Smoke Damage – Burned walls, ceilings, or furniture are clear indicators of damage.
• Lingering Smoke Odors – Even after a fire is extinguished, strong smoke smells can remain trapped in walls, furniture, and air ducts.
• Discolored Walls & Ceilings – Soot and smoke residue can stain walls, ceilings, and other surfaces, making your home look dirty and damaged.
• Warped or Weakened Structures – Fire and heat can compromise the integrity of wood, metal, and other structural components.
• Water Damage & Mold Growth – Firefighting efforts often leave behind excess water, which can lead to mold growth if not properly addressed.
• Electrical & HVAC Issues – Heat and smoke can damage electrical wiring, appliances, and HVAC systems, creating potential safety hazards.
