Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Surprise?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Surprise Building Safety division.
How do I protect my seasonal Surprise home?
Shut off the main water, set the AC to control heat, and have someone check the home after storms.
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.
