Fire Damage To Personal Belongings

5/6/2020 (Permalink)

Of all the losses that can happen to a homeowner, FIRE seems to be the most personal. Even a small fire (depending on what was burned in the fire) can have far-reaching effects on the personal items in a home. You see, any kind of plastic being burned even in a small fire will leave a sticky film on everything the smoke and soot reaches. That soot, depending on what it settles on, can be corrosive and cause damage to things such as the electronics in the home. That corrosiveness, if not cleaned properly, can damage the electronics to the point they have to be replaced. Maybe the home has fine art hanging on the walls. Maybe the home is full of antiques that have been passed down through generations. Many homes are show places for collectibles. Family photos, musical instruments, and things the children/grandchildren have made do not escape the sticky soot that comes with a fire. Even the clothes in the closet that might be farthest away from the source of the fire are affected.
