Our Fire Damage Restoration & Repair Process
- Emergency Response and Safety: The first priority in the event of a fire is ensuring everyone's safety. Even after a fire is extinguished, structural damage and lingering hazards can pose risks. It's crucial to vacate the property and make sure everyone is safe. Once the fire has been addressed by the Iowa Fire Department, contacting a reputable fire damage restoration company like True North Restoration is the next immediate step to prevent further damage.
- Inspection & Assessment: Our experienced restoration team will thoroughly inspect your property to assess the extent of the damage, including structural issues, smoke, soot buildup, and water damage.
- Board Up & Tarps: To protect your property from weather elements and unauthorized access, we provide emergency services such as boarding up damaged areas and applying tarps to exposed sections.
- Water Extraction: If standing water is present due to firefighting efforts, our team will remove it using specialized equipment to prevent additional water damage.
- Smoke & Soot Removal: We use advanced cleaning techniques and specialized products to remove soot, smoke residue, and debris from walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and other surfaces, restoring their appearance and condition.
- Contents Restoration: Salvageable items are carefully packed and transported to our off-site cleaning facility, where we restore them to their pre-loss condition using professional equipment and methods.
- Clean & Sanitize: We sanitize and deodorize affected areas with professional-grade solutions, air scrubbers, and other tools to ensure a safe and odor-free environment.

Who is Liable for Fire Damage?
Determining liability for fire damage is complex and depends greatly on how the fire started. Property owners may be liable if the fire results from negligence, such as failing to maintain safety standards or improperly storing flammable materials. Examples include clogged dryer vents, lack of fire safety equipment like extinguishers, or poorly contained outdoor flames. However, property owners are often not liable if the fire is caused by external factors, such as acts of nature, adjacent property fires, arson, or utility malfunctions. Liability can also rest with a negligent contractor performing unsafe work that caused a fire.
Understanding liability is not straightforward, and this process can be tedious. Hiring an experienced fire damage restoration company like True North Restoration is essential to evaluate the source of the fire, document the damage, and assist with insurance claims.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Fire Damage?
Homeowners insurance generally covers fire damage when the homeowner is not at fault for the incident. Fire damage restoration is often addressed through policies that include dwelling coverage, personal property coverage, and additional living expenses. However, the extent of coverage can vary based on the policy and sub-policies in place.
True North Restoration works directly with your insurance company to ensure you receive the maximum coverage for your fire damage claim. We handle documentation, readings, and all required processes, so you don’t have to worry about navigating the insurance process alone.
