About fire damage cleaning services
Soot is acidic and etches metal and glass within days, so speed matters. Most household policies cover restoration and many insurers appoint their own contractor, so call them before engaging anyone. The salvage decisions — what is cleaned, what is replaced — are made with the loss adjuster, and keeping a record of everything damaged is the claimant's job.
