Frequently asked questions
Can wildfire smoke damage a home that didn't burn?
Yes. Smoke and ash can enter through vents and gaps, leaving odor and residue in ductwork, insulation, and fabrics. Cleaning and HVAC filtration usually resolve it.
Is fire and smoke damage covered by insurance?
Fire is a covered peril on almost every homeowners policy, including smoke and soot cleanup and the water used to put out the fire. Your policy and adjuster decide what is paid.
Should I clean soot myself?
No. Wiping soot can smear it permanently into paint and fabric. Wait for a professional assessment.
Had a fire?
Once the fire department clears the home, request help before you start cleaning.
