DIY Tips and Preventative Measures for Fire & Smoke Damage
While professional restoration services are essential for extensive damage, there are simple measures you can take to reduce fire risks and damage. Here are a few important tips:
Install Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors are your first line of defense in preventing fire-related disasters. Be sure to test them monthly and replace batteries at least once a year to ensure they’re functioning properly.
Conduct Regular Electrical Inspections
Electrical fires are a common cause of home fires. Have your wiring, outlets, and appliances inspected regularly to catch potential issues before they turn into serious risks.
Create a Fire Escape Plan
In the event of a fire, time is crucial. Work with your family to create a clear fire escape plan and practice it regularly so everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.
Use Fire-Resistant Materials
Upgrading your home with fire-resistant materials for roofing, insulation, and other areas can provide an added layer of protection. These materials help slow the spread of flames and give you more time to respond in the event of a fire.
Always prioritize safety. For extensive damage, trust the experts at Frontline Fire & Flood to handle your restoration needs.
Navigating Insurance and Claims
Filing insurance claims after fire damage can be overwhelming, but we are here to make it easier for you. Here’s how we can help:
- Detailed Damage Documentation: We carefully assess and document all fire damage to provide your insurance company with accurate records. This ensures nothing is overlooked and helps speed up the approval process.
- Direct Communication with Adjusters: Our team works directly with your insurance adjusters to discuss the extent of the damage. This helps ensure your claim is handled properly and that you receive the coverage you're entitled to.
- Expert Claims Guidance: From filing to follow-ups, we make sure you understand each stage and assist you in making the best decisions for your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
DIY soot removal is not recommended. Commercially available products can actually cause permanent damage to surfaces. Soot itself is primarily oil-based, but that residue also contains toxic, possibly biohazard contaminants.
It's never a quick fix, though we've gathered together a multi-disciplined team of contractors and technicians to work in tandem to complete the work as soon as possible. From structural repairs to sand/soda-blasting to odor removal to contents cleaning, our fire damage restoration crew begins as soon as the project scope is determined, and we don't stop until the job is done and both you and the insurance company are satisfied with the results.
Depending on the extent or location of the fire damage, some homeowners can move back in a few days or longer. The fire department will usually turn off electricity and gas to the property immediately, which won’t be restored until a building inspector says it’s safe to turn those utilities back on. If you experienced significant smoke damage and the home’s occupants include elderly persons, young children, or those with chronic health conditions, you may be wise to stay until the smoke cleanup is complete. Contracting with a company experienced in fire damage restoration can often get you back home sooner because they’ll have the resources to hire and manage the many tradespeople who will need to work together to make the home liveable again.
Smoke damage is rarely limited to one area of the house, and it leaves behind a residue that can hide in crevices and out-of-reach areas, and a simple "airing out" may not be sufficient. We recommend consulting with a smoke damage technician who can help you troubleshoot the next steps.
Most often, yes. You'll need to check your specific policy for the full scope of coverage, but generally, if the damage was caused by a flame, it's covered. Your best bet is to hire a professional restoration to help you through the claims process. We know how to avoid some common missteps when it comes to making sure the entire loss is documented and covered. Many homeowners and insurance companies forget, for instance, to consider that your HVAC system will need to be cleaned of soot, and since fires are extinguished using water, many areas of your home may need to be restored due to water damage even if they weren't directly affected by the fire.
