In most instances, you’ll need to temporarily relocate while all repairs are being made since fire damaged homes present safety hazards. This is especially important if you experience significant structural damage to the building, your utilities have been temporarily shut off or your floors have been severely damaged. While finding a place to stay can be a hassle, it’s a critical step to prevent unnecessary injuries from the safety hazards present.
In addition, soot and smoke will often travel throughout the house, causing unpleasant odors that may make your home unlivable while the fire damage restoration process is being completed.
