Insurance and your claim
Your policy decides what is paid. We give your adjuster photos, a written scope, and a record of board-up and cleanup. We are not a public adjuster and do not take over your claim.
From board-up to odor treatment
- Secure the building with board-up so it is closed to weather and entry.
- Extract firefighting water and dry the structure so it does not become a mold problem.
- HEPA-vacuum and chemically clean soot from walls, ceilings, and fixtures.
- Remove charred or smoke-saturated materials that cannot be cleaned.
- Photograph and document everything for your insurer.
Right after the fire
- Do not go back in until the fire department says it is safe.
- Stay away from outlets and appliances near the fire or the water.
- Change your clothes and wash your hands after walking through soot.

Common questions
Fire and smoke damage restoration questions in Suncoast Estates
What happens after a fire in Suncoast Estates?
After the fire department releases the scene, call (239) 688-2880. We board up, extract firefighting water, clean soot, wipe down HVAC components, and treat odor after residue is removed.
Can smoke odor be fully removed from a Suncoast Estates home?
Only if the residue is removed, not masked. The process is structural cleaning, HVAC cleaning, HEPA filtration, and odor treatment at the end, with ozone used only in unoccupied spaces.
Is fire and smoke damage covered by insurance in Suncoast Estates?
Sudden fire and smoke damage is often covered, subject to your policy. We document the loss with photos and a written scope, and you keep the claim. We are not a public adjuster.
Why does soot need to be cleaned quickly?
Soot is acidic. On metal, stone, grout, and paint it starts to etch and stain, and the longer it sits the more has to be replaced instead of cleaned.
