Fire damage in an Illinois home is never just the room that burned. Smoke, soot, heat, and firefighter water travel. We board up, document the full scope, and restore the structure while you deal with living arrangements.
If this just happened
Wait for the fire marshal. Unstable framing and hidden embers are not a DIY inspection.
Burned belongings are still claim items. Do not let a well-meaning relative haul them to the curb.
An independent scope on day two keeps smoke, heat, and water damage from being written off as ‘cosmetic.’
Secure the building. Ask about Additional Living Expenses so a hotel is not coming out of pocket. Replacement cost or actual cash value? Have Statewide Adjusters walk the policy while we handle board-up and pack-out.
Soot films HVAC, attics, and rooms that never saw flame. Heat warps windows and wiring. Water from suppression soaks insulation. We document all three, not just the charred bay.
Splitting demo, cleaning, and reconstruction across three companies is how items fall off the scope. We take the job from board-up through final paint so the file and the house close together.
Call for dispatch, or request a free inspection. We will tell you whether it is a claim, a repair, or a replacement — in writing.
