Smoke Damage Claims

To make a smoke damage claim, contact your insurance company as soon as possible—ideally within the timeframe stated in your policy. Before cleaning or discarding anything, document all damage with clear photos and videos. Make a detailed list of affected items and gather receipts for any related expenses such as emergency repairs or temporary lodging. Then, submit your claim with full documentation, including a copy of your policy and reports like the one from the fire department. For best results, work with a professional public adjuster to ensure your reimbursement reflects the true extent of the damage.

Filing an Insurance Claim for Smoke Damage: Step-by-Step Guide

If your home or business has suffered smoke damage, follow these steps before calling your insurance company:

  1. Document Everything: Take photos and videos of all visible damage—walls, furniture, electronics, ceilings, ducts, etc. Don’t clean or throw anything away yet.

  2. Create a List: Write down all affected items, including appliances, inventory (if commercial), and personal belongings.

  3. Save Receipts: Include any costs related to emergency services, temporary housing, or urgent repairs.

  4. Contact a Public Adjuster: Before speaking with the insurance adjuster, contact Alconero Public Adjusters. We’ll evaluate the damage independently to avoid undervaluation.

  5. Submit a Complete Claim: We prepare and submit a full claim, including your policy, damage evidence, and support documents (like fire department reports).

This entire process can be overwhelming. That’s why having a trusted public adjuster by your side is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions – Smoke Damage Claim

1. What qualifies as smoke damage in an insurance claim?

Smoke damage refers to any physical damage caused by smoke from a fire, including discoloration, odor, soot, and corrosive effects on walls, furniture, appliances, and HVAC systems. It’s often covered under standard property insurance.

Yes. Most standard homeowners and commercial property insurance policies include coverage for smoke damage, but claim approval depends on your specific policy terms and exclusions.

First, document the damage thoroughly with photos and videos. Avoid cleaning or throwing anything away. Then contact a public adjuster to help you assess the situation before filing the claim with your insurer.

Absolutely. A public adjuster works on your behalf—not the insurance company’s—to ensure your claim reflects the full extent of the damage. We can uncover hidden damage, manage paperwork, and negotiate higher settlements.

It depends on your policy and your state’s regulations, but most insurance companies require claims to be filed within a specific timeframe (often 30–90 days). Filing promptly is essential to avoid delays or denials.

You may still be able to reopen the claim. Contact us for a free evaluation. Alconero Public Adjusters specializes in reviewing denied or lowballed claims and pursuing fair compensation.
