Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Kenilworth, NJ insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.

Framing, drywall, and finish work carry a one-year guarantee.
One coordinator manages your Kenilworth job from the first call to the final walkthrough.
