Frequently Asked Questions — Fire Damage in New Albany

New Albany-Specific Questions

Our New Albany Country Club home had a fire that destroyed the whole-home automation system — how is that handled in restoration? +
New Albany custom homes commonly run on Crestron, Control4, Savant, or Lutron whole-home systems with rack-mounted equipment in dedicated AV closets. Fire and smoke damage to processors, network switches, and low-voltage wiring requires coordination with the original integrator since these systems are proprietary. We document all damaged components, partner with the homeowner's original integration firm for reprogramming, and run new conduit during framing so smoke-contaminated low-voltage cabling can be fully replaced rather than just cleaned.
Plain Township Fire Department is handling our New Albany house fire — is their report enough for our high-value homeowner's policy? +
Plain Township Fire Department's standard incident report is the starting point, but homeowners with high-value policies (Chubb, AIG Private Client, PURE, Cincinnati Insurance Executive Capstone) typically need significantly more documentation. Their adjusters often request room-by-room contents inventories, hi-resolution photo and video documentation, smoke residue lab analysis, and itemized scope of work with line-item specifications matching original finishes. We provide all of this and have experience working directly with high-value-policy adjusters in Keswick, Fenway, and Upper Albany.
I park an EV in my New Albany garage and had a lithium-ion battery fire — what's different about this kind of restoration? +
Lithium-ion battery fires (EVs, e-bikes, home battery storage common in New Albany's solar-equipped homes) burn at 1,800°F+, release hydrogen fluoride and lithium hexafluorophosphate residues, and reignite hours or days later. We treat the affected area as a hazardous-material site: HF-rated PPE, neutralizing wash on concrete, structural assessment of steel garage door tracks and headers, and full air-quality testing for fluoride compounds before reoccupation. Standard fire restoration protocols are not sufficient.

General Fire Damage Questions

How quickly can you respond to fire damage in New Albany? +
We respond within 60 minutes to New Albany and surrounding areas. Our first priority is securing and boarding up the property to prevent secondary damage.
Does insurance cover fire damage restoration? +
Yes, fire damage is typically covered by homeowner's insurance. We work directly with your insurance company, handle all documentation, and bill them directly.
How long does fire damage restoration take? +
Timelines vary based on severity. Minor smoke damage may take 1–2 weeks. Significant structural damage requiring reconstruction can take 2–6 months.
Can smoke damage be fully removed? +
Yes, with professional equipment and techniques. We use thermal fogging, ozone treatment, and hydroxyl generators to eliminate smoke odor and residue completely.
Is it safe to enter my home after a fire? +
Do not enter until the fire department has cleared the structure. Smoke residue, weakened structures, and toxic byproducts can pose serious health risks.
