When Should I Call My Insurance Company for Fire Damage?

When Fire damage occurs, homeowners or business owners think that they need to call the insurance company first. Unfortunately, they didn't realize that their insurance agent couldn't remove the smoke or odor out of their home or business.

This is a very common mistake when talking to homeowners or business owners that are dealing with Fire Damage. It is important to eliminate smoke particulates and odors before calling your insurance agent because your home and family's health is your responsibility. And ultimately, no one cares more about your home than you do, and that includes First Response Restoration.

Whom Should I Call for Fire Damage Clean-Up?

Call a certified smoke & odor cleanup company like First Response Restoration. There are a couple of main accreditations that restoration companies can have. The primary association is the IICRC, which offers accreditations for a variety of different trades, such as Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT), Odor Control Technician (OCT), Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT), and a host of others.

It’s important to use a company certified to perform the work you need to have done. Not only do they know how best to clean up the smoke damage and remove the odor, but you’re less likely to deal with any issues or concerns from your adjuster during the claims process.

If your home or business is in Carmel, Yorktown Heights, White Plains, New Rochelle, Rye, Greenwich, Stamford, and dozens of other cities in Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, we’re a company that can provide the expert help you need to clean up and restore your home from fire damage and smoke/odor damage.
