Whether due to faulty wiring, malfunctioning electrical appliances or the aftermath of a wildfire, determining the level of damage to your home requires nuanced expertise. Is it “simply” light smoke or soot damage or serious fire damage? Has it penetrated your walls, floors, attic insulation, HVAC or possessions and clothing? These questions are critical because while fire damage is relatively easy to spot and chronicle, smoke and soot damage, left improperly remedied, can result in serious consequences down the road. Smoke and soot particles, while invisible to the naked eye, can lead to serious health consequences such as lung, skin, esophageal and bladder cancer. Unless your insurance company uses an industrial hygienist to inspect the damage, your home may not be genuinely restored to its original condition. You might think everything’s been repaired, when in fact your home may now be potentially unsafe.
