Why do I need water restoration after a fire?

Fire crews use a lot of water. Even a contained kitchen fire can generate hundreds of gallons of suppression water that runs into walls, floors, basements, and lower levels. Smoke and soot then ride that moisture deeper into the structure. Skipping the water side leaves a mold problem on top of the fire damage.

Will my insurance cover everything?

Fire is one of the most-covered perils on homeowners insurance — almost everything fire-related is covered, including suppression water damage, smoke, soot, contents loss, and additional living expenses while you can't live in the home. Wildfire causes are covered the same way. We work with all major carriers on fire claims.
