Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there water damage after a fire that never involved flooding?
Firefighting itself is the usual cause - hoses put out far more water than most people expect, and it needs the same extraction and drying as any other water loss.
Do I need a separate mold inspection afterward?
It is worth it if drying was delayed for any reason. See mold remediation if you notice odors or discoloration once repairs are underway.
