Fire & Smoke Damage Insurance Claims

Fire & Smoke Damage Insurance Claims

Fire losses may involve more than the area touched by flames. Smoke, soot, odor, firefighting water and damage to building components can complicate the repair scope.

How Walsh Adjusters can help

1. Review damage to rooms and connected areas
2. Organize photos, contractor findings and restoration estimates
3. Identify disputed cleaning, removal, repair and replacement items
4. Help present documented concerns to the insurance company

What to do after the damage

• Keep fire department and restoration records
• Photograph affected areas before removal when safe
• Track emergency expenses and any temporary living arrangements

Cleaning versus replacement and additional living expenses depend on policy language and documented conditions.
