What Determines Your Fire Damage Restoration Cost
- Fire size & severity — a contained single-room fire costs a fraction of a whole-structure fire.
- Smoke & soot spread — smoke travels far beyond the burn area, permeating drywall, HVAC, and contents; the wider the spread, the higher the cost.
- Water damage from firefighting — hoses and sprinklers leave standing water that must be extracted and dried, often a large hidden cost.
- Structural vs. cosmetic — charred framing and drywall replacement cost far more than surface cleaning.
- Contents restoration & pack-out — cleaning, deodorizing, and storing belongings adds cost.
- Odor removal — thermal fogging, hydroxyl, and ozone treatment to eliminate lingering smoke odor.
- Reconstruction — rebuilding to pre-loss condition is often billed separately from cleanup.
