The answer is, “it depends.” If your insurance sees that the circumstance was preventable, they will not cover it. Typically, this is the case for mold that formed as a result of preventable sources such as a leaky pipe. On the other hand, most board up services come included with an unforeseen event such as a fire. Therefore, boarding up services can be bundled up in the fire damage restoration job your contractors are hired to fix.

Besides thanking the fire department, you should call your insurance to submit a house fire claim if you are a homeowner. Once there, they will provide instructions on what needs to be done concerning your damaged property & getting in touch with a restoration team like ourselves.

Unfortunately, we cannot give a specific length of time as it all depends on the nature of the problem. Before restoration professionals such as ourselves can come in to do our work, local authorities and insurance representatives will need to come in to inspect beforehand.

Depending on your insurance, you may be covered when staying at a hotel, bed, and breakfast, or another home during the restoration process.

Lastly, we also want to make sure you are comfortable with your decision. Therefore, we will support the recommendations you give.

If you are a business, it works in much the same way as a homeowner. However, if you rent a property, then it would depend on your renters’ insurance. Talk to them on how you would be covered.

Do NOT enter the fire-damaged building as soon as the firefighters clear out the fire. They will tell you whether your utilities are safe to use or not. Even if they give the green light to enter, hidden but hazardous components and toxic chemicals can still be fuming after a fire is often put out. To be safe, wait for professionals like us to come and inspect the property, as we often have ETAs within one hour.

Before anything, stay calm. Deep breathing and not letting your emotions and impulses can help a lot. Never forget that object is replaceable. Make sure everyone is safe and in a secure place until emergency services come.
