Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pompano Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pompano Beach Building Inspections division.
Who pays for a condo leak in Pompano Beach?
It depends on the source and the association's documents. Florida law splits responsibility between owners and associations, so notify both quickly.
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.
