## What happens in the first week

Soot is acidic. Left on a surface it etches and stains permanently: metal corrodes, grout and stone discolour, plastics yellow in a way that does not reverse. Contents and finishes that were cleanable in the first week are routinely unsalvageable a month later.

So the sequence is not cosmetic. Secure the building, get the firefighting water out before mold starts, then clean soot while it is still lifting rather than setting. Every week of delay moves items from the clean column to the replace column, and the replace column is what makes a fire claim take a year.

## How a fire damage job runs

1. Board-up and tarping: Broken windows, doors and open roof sections secured against weather and entry, and documented for your claim.
2. Water before soot: Extraction and drying start immediately. The mold clock does not care that the water came from a hose.
3. Dry soot removal: Chemical sponges and HEPA vacuuming. Wiping dry soot with anything wet drives it in and sets the stain.
4. Wet cleaning, matched to residue: Protein smoke, synthetic smoke and natural-material smoke all behave differently and take different agents.
5. Odor, last: Because every step above it would otherwise undo the deodorisation.

## The paperwork, handled

A fire claim is usually the largest claim a household ever files and it arrives at the worst possible moment. We document with photographs and moisture logs throughout, produce line-item estimates in the format adjusters expect, and bill your insurer directly so you are not funding the work while you wait for a settlement.

We work with all major carriers, Kentucky Farm Bureau included, and we would rather talk to your adjuster than have you translate between us.
