Is a home fire covered by my insurance?

It depends on your policy. If it is covered, the insurance company will cover invoices up to your policy limit, and you are responsible for the deductible. Contact your agent to find out if this loss is covered.

What Is Smoke Damage?

Smoke damage encompasses soot, odors, and chemical residues, not just burned areas. It can infiltrate porous materials, tarnish metals, stain plastics, and linger long-term if untreated.

Types of Smoke

Wet Smoke – From rubbers/plastics; sticky, requires high-powered dehumidifiers and chemical cleaners.
Dry Smoke – From wood/paper; lighter, treated with HEPA air scrubbers and mild detergents.
Protein Smoke – From food; strong odors needing thermal fogging or ozone.

Impact & Urgency of Fire Damage on Bloomington Homes & Businesses

Smoke and soot penetration can become permanent within 24–48 hours, especially in older brick homes or student rentals. Prompt restoration preserves structural integrity and reduces restoration costs.
