Smoke Damage

Invisible damage, real depreciation. Don't accept a wipe-down.

Smoke residue permeates porous surfaces and HVAC systems. Proper claims account for cleaning, deodorization, and contents depreciation.

What's covered

The scope of a smoke damage claim, done right.

Our standard

Scope built around your policy.

We document coverage, cause, and damages thoroughly enough to support a fair settlement — and to hold up if your carrier disputes it.

Signs you have a claim

Yellowing on walls or ceilings

Odor returns after cleaning

Etching on glass & mirrors

Sticky film on hard surfaces

Electronics failing weeks later

Process

Step 01

Send us your policy and a few photos. We'll tell you straight whether hiring us will move the needle on your case.

Step 02

We bring licensed adjusters, engineers, and moisture techs to document every dollar of loss — drone roof scans included when needed.

Step 03

We build an Xactimate estimate backed by photo evidence and expert reports. That becomes the case we put on your insurer's desk.

Step 04

We negotiate directly with your carrier — you approve every move. No recovery, no fee. Guaranteed in writing before we start.

FAQ

My fire was next door. Am I covered?

Usually yes — smoke migration from a neighboring fire is a covered peril under most HO policies.

Insurer said 'wipe it down'. Enough?

Almost never. Porous materials absorb soot acids that corrode over time. We document the need for replacement where cleaning fails.

Intake takes under 3 minutes. We'll call you back within 24 hours with honest next steps — no pressure, no obligation, no cost unless we recover.
