Got Questions? We have got answers

What does fire damage restoration in Salt Lake City include?

In Salt Lake City, a typical job includes an assessment, emergency protection of the building, water removal and drying, soot cleaning, deodorizing, and repairs such as drywall, flooring and paint. Many pros also pack out, clean and store furniture and personal items while the work is under way.

Can I clean up smoke and soot damage myself?

Only for very light residue in a small area, and with care. Wear gloves, eye protection and a well fitted N95 respirator, and keep children away from the ash. Heavy soot, damage in more than one room or any smell coming from the vents needs professional equipment.

Does insurance cover fire damage in Salt Lake City?

In most cases it does, though what is paid depends on your policy limits and deductible. Your insurer will send an adjuster to inspect the loss, so give them your photos, your list of damaged items and any estimate from the restoration pro. Keep receipts for emergency work such as boarding up, since protecting the home from further damage is normally expected of you.

How much does fire damage restoration cost in Salt Lake City?

Expect $3,000 to $38,000 for a typical job. Smoke cleanup on its own is often $200 to $1,100, and structural rebuilds sit at the top of the range. The price depends on how far the fire, smoke and soot spread, how much water damage came with it, and how much of the structure has to be rebuilt. Ask the pro for a written estimate, which costs nothing through NearbyPros.
