Why Securing Fire-Damaged Homes Matters

Broken windows, damaged doors and roof openings can expose your property to weather, animals and unauthorized entry. Promptly securing the building can help limit further damage.

Rochelle Fire Damage FAQs

The chimney fire went out on its own. Do I still need an inspection?

Yes. Have the chimney inspected before using it again, as heat may damage the flue or nearby materials. Smoke residue inside the home may also need assessment.

Is furnace puff-back damage covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Contact your insurer and document the loss promptly.

Can oily soot from a furnace puff-back be cleaned?

Yes, but oily soot can smear and spread if handled incorrectly. Avoid wiping it yourself and seek appropriate cleaning advice.
