What affects fire damage cleanup cost
- Type of smoke. Dry smoke from a fast fire wipes off more easily than the greasy residue from a protein (kitchen) fire.
- How far smoke travelled through ducts, closets and attic.
- Water from firefighting. Drying is often half the job. See water mitigation & drying cost.
- Contents. Cleaning, packing and storing belongings adds cost but often saves more than replacing them.
- Odour. Sealing and deodorizing are needed so the smell doesn't come back in summer heat.
