When a fire sweeps through a home, the risk of damage is significant. While the fire may be contained to one area, the damage and risks can spread throughout the home.

A Full Inspection of the Property
Fires damage structural elements of the building in numerous ways. Not only does it cause damage in the area it starts and spreads to, but the smoke damage can travel through the entire structure. Water from firefighting efforts can then cause additional damage and loss to the home. The results are often devastating. Your insurance company wants you to be safe. To do that, they will look at factors such as:
- The structural integrity of the home
- Damage to the home’s major systems, including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC
- Drywall and other components and the level of damage to them
- Water damage to the structure
- Roof damage
