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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

After emergency responders extinguish the fire and the scene is secure, your first two calls should be to your insurance company and a certified fire restoration provider, like PuroClean of Peoria. Insurers require prompt reporting, and restoration professionals can begin mitigation immediately to prevent further loss. Quick action protects both safety and your ability to recover costs through your insurance policy.

Professional odor removal goes beyond surface cleaning. Techniques such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone treatment chemically neutralize odor-causing molecules rather than masking them. These methods are selected based on the type of fire, the materials affected, and whether the property is occupied during restoration. Proper deodorization ensures odors do not return once the property is rebuilt.

Safety comes first. Do not re-enter the property until fire officials confirm it is safe to do so. Once cleared, a local, professional restoration company who will guide you through the process and assist in documentation for your insurance provider. Early steps such as securing the property, extracting water from firefighting efforts, and addressing soot damage help limit further loss and support your insurance claim.

In many cases, yes. Non-porous materials such as glass, metal, and stone often respond well to specialized cleaning. Porous items, including textiles, upholstery, and insulation, are more difficult and may need replacement. The sooner restoration begins, the better the chance of salvaging belongings, since soot and odor residues set deeper over time. Restoration professionals evaluate each item individually to determine whether cleaning or replacement is the best option.

The timeline varies significantly depending on the severity of the fire and the extent of damage. A contained fire in one room may take only a few days to clean and deodorize, while a larger structural fire that requires demolition, reconstruction, and content restoration can take several weeks or even months. The pace of restoration also depends on insurance approvals and the complexity of smoke or water damage.
