Fire Damage in Upper Arlington: What You Need to Know
Upper Arlington's mid-century homes are beloved for their character, but many retain original or partially updated electrical systems that increase fire risk. Homes built in the 1940s through 1960s may have wiring that doesn't meet current code, and decades of renovations can create hidden fire hazards where old and new systems intersect. When fire occurs, we restore these homes while preserving their mid-century character.
