Documentation for your insurer

Fire, smoke, and soot from a sudden fire are often covered, and securing the property is part of your duty to prevent further damage. We document the loss with photos and a written scope. You keep the claim.

From board-up to odor treatment

1. Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
2. Pull out the water from the hoses and dry walls, floors, and insulation.
3. Clean HVAC components before the system runs again.
4. Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
5. Keep a full photo record and written scope for the claim.

What to do and not do

• Wait for the fire department to release the scene.
• Do not wipe soot; it smears and etches.
• Keep soot off your skin and out of your car.
