Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know About Fire Damage Restoration
Still have questions?
How soon should I call a restoration company after a fire?
As soon as it’s safe to do so. The sooner a restoration company can assess the damage, the better your chances are of minimizing long-term issues like smoke damage, structural concerns, and mold. Quick action helps preserve your property, speeds up the cleanup process, and can even help with insurance claims. Once the fire department clears the scene and everyone is safe, give us a call—we’re ready to help 24/7.
Can you eliminate the smoke smell completely?
Yes, in most cases, we can fully eliminate smoke odors using advanced cleaning techniques, air scrubbers, ozone treatments, and thermal fogging. Smoke can seep into walls, carpets, and even HVAC systems, so we take a comprehensive approach to neutralize it at the source—not just mask it. Every situation is different, but our goal is always the same: to restore your space to a clean, fresh, and safe environment.
Do you work with insurance providers?
Absolutely. HBM Restoration has extensive experience working directly with insurance providers to help streamline the claims process for our clients. We can coordinate with your adjuster, provide detailed documentation of the damage, and ensure all restoration work aligns with your policy coverage. Our goal is to make the recovery process as stress-free as possible—so you can focus on getting back to normal.
Can I stay in my home during fire restoration?
It depends on the extent of the damage. In some cases—especially if only a small area was affected and there are no safety hazards—you may be able to stay in your home. However, if there are structural concerns, heavy smoke damage, or ongoing restoration work that could affect your health or comfort, temporary relocation may be necessary. Our team will walk you through the conditions and help you make the safest, most informed decision for your situation.
When is it safe to enter my property after a fire?
Fire and smoke can weaken structures which may lead to structural collapse. The property and many of the items in your home or business may have been badly damaged by flames, heat, smoke, and water. It is important to understand the risk to your health and safety even after the fire is out. The soot and dirty water left behind could make you ill. Ask the advice of the fire department, your insurance agent, and restoration specialists before starting to clean or make repairs. In addition, refrain from cleaning ash and fire debris until professional hazardous material cleanup services are secured. Seek professional damage and debris removal/restoration services.
What do I do in the event of a fire?
A fire on your property is always a terrifying and stressful situation. First, try to remain calm and don’t panic. Know you aren’t alone in this process. You’ll want to immediately contact your local disaster relief agency and your insurance company to help with assistance, especially if the damage has caused you to be displaced. If safe and possible, locate and keep hold of any crucial documents such as your driver’s license or any insurance papers. However, DO NOT enter the property until it has been deemed safe by the fire department or certified specialists, even if important documents are held inside.
Who is liable for fire damage? Is it my fault?
This is actually an extremely important question to ask, especially in the case where a fire has spread to neighboring properties or residences. Most insurance policies do cover the cost of fire damage including cleaning costs, any necessary repairs to return the property to a safe condition, and personal property coverage. It is important to understand your insurance agent to check what your policy encompasses in the instance of a fire, and especially for personal liability or personal umbrella insurance which will help if a fire does indeed spread. Either way, HBM Restoration will work closely with you and your insurance company to help you navigate the claims process so that we can help you get back on your feet as fast as possible.
What is “board up” service?
Following a fire, your property is left exposed and vulnerable to theft and additional damage. We offer to board up any windows and doors, securing any openings to ensure your property and any of its possessions is safe from theft and looting. This service is 24/7 and can be done throughout the duration of the restoration process.
