Do you cover areas near Rochester?
How do I get the fire report for a fire in Rochester?
Ask the fire department that responded. In some places that is a city department, and in others a county, district or volunteer department. Ask for the incident number, since your insurer will want it.
Is it safe to stay in my Rochester home after a fire?
Often not right away. Damaged utilities, soot, structural problems and poor air can make a fire damaged home unsafe. Ask the fire department when you can enter and ask the restoration company about air quality and the condition of the building.
Can smoke odor be removed from a home in Rochester?
In most cases yes, but the residue has to be cleaned first. Deodorizing without cleaning usually fails because the source is still on surfaces and inside materials. A company may use methods such as thermal fogging, hydroxyl treatment or air scrubbing.
