Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boca Raton?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boca Raton Building Permits and Inspections department.
How do I protect my seasonal Boca Raton home?
Shut off the main water, keep the AC running to control humidity, and have someone check the home after storms.
Can I clean soot myself?
Light dry soot in a small area sometimes can be, but wiping often smears it deeper. Larger areas, oily soot and anything involving odor are best left to professionals with the right cleaning methods.
Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage from a wildfire?
Usually yes, even if the fire didn't reach your home. Document the damage, including ash and odor, and report it to your insurer quickly.
