Dallas-Fort Worth, Amarillo, and Oklahoma City Fire Damage Restoration
Restore Your Home After a Fire With Mr. Restore's Fire Damage Restoration Not a DIY Solution
Repairing a home by yourself after a fire can be extremely dangerous due to several factors. First, the aftermath of a fire can be hazardous, with residual smoke and soot posing health risks. Without proper personal protective equipment, attempting to clean up after a fire can lead to respiratory problems, eye irritation, and other health issues.
Second, fire damage can be extensive and complex, requiring specialized techniques and materials to restore the property properly. Attempting to repair the damage without the proper knowledge and equipment can result in further damage to the property or create new hazards.
Finally, attempting to repair a home after a fire without professional help can result in insurance issues, as insurance companies often require work to be done by licensed professionals. Overall, it is strongly recommended to rely on trained professionals for fire damage restoration to ensure that the work is done safely, effectively, and to code.

Most often, yes. You'll need to check your specific policy for the full scope of coverage, but in general, if the damage was caused by a flame, it's covered. Your best bet is to hire a professional restoration company, like Mr. Restore, to help you through the claims process. We know how to avoid some common missteps when it comes to making sure the entire loss is documented and covered. Many homeowners and insurance companies forget, for instance, to consider that your HVAC system will need to be cleaned of soot, and, since fires are extinguished using water, many areas of your home may need to be restored due to water damage even if they weren't directly affected by the fire.
Depending on the extent or location of the fire damage, some homeowners can move back in a few days or longer. The fire department will usually turn off electricity and gas to the property right away, and that won't be restored until a building inspector says that it's safe to turn those utilities back on. If you experienced significant smoke damage and the home's occupants include elderly persons, young children, or those with chronic health conditions, you may be wise to stay until the smoke cleanup is complete. Contracting with a company experienced in fire damage restoration, like Mr. Restore, can often get you back home sooner because they'll have the resources to hire and manage the many tradespeople who will need to work together to make the home liveable again.
DIY soot removal is not recommended. Commercially available products can actually cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot itself is primarily oil-based, but that residue also contains toxic, possibly biohazard contaminants.
Smoke damage is rarely limited to one area of the house, and it leaves behind a residue that can hide in crevices and out-of-reach areas, and a simple "airing out" may not be sufficient. We recommend consulting with a smoke damage technician from Mr. Restore who can help you troubleshoot the next steps.
