Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Gilbert?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Town of Gilbert Development Services.
How do I prevent monsoon roof leaks in Gilbert?
Have tile underlayment checked before July, replace broken tiles, and keep gutters and drains clear.
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.
