Even a small kitchen fire can lead to tens of thousands in repairs... Do I need a Public Adjuster?
Kitchen fires can damage cabinets, flooring, walls, ceilings and other rooms throughout your home (ACI Adjustment Group)
Most kitchen fires start small - a spark from a microwave, a small grease fire in a frying pan - but they can get out of control very quickly. Even if you just opened the oven and were hit with a cloud of smoke, you may be entitled to compensation for the following damages:
Cleaning
Your home will certainly need cleaning after it is damaged by fire and smoke. Drywall, carpets, and fabrics throughout the entire home will need to be cleaned and walls and ceilings will need to be repainted - at a minimum. Any affected clothing and fabrics may need replacement, as well as wooden items. Smoke remediation is covered by insurance policies, but hire a Public Adjuster to help you make sure that your remediation is done properly and that you won’t smell smoke in your home in the future.
Cabinets
Cabinets are often charred or blackened by smoke from kitchen fires, as they usually occur while cooking. Cabinets can be very expensive to replace, and you can bet you’re insurance company will put up a strong fight for cleaning instead of replacement. Hire a ACI Adjustment Group to help you negotiate for a fair settlement.
Flooring
Carpets retain smoke and must be replaced. If those carpets match throughout the home, you will need to be covered for replacement of all matching carpets, too. Hardwood floors can often be cleaned if the smoke is light, however wood is porous and smoke can travel into areas that have not been finished on the floor. Hire a Public Adjuster from ACI Adjustment Group to help you recover the most for your claim.
Food Items
Anything that goes into your body or on your skin must be replaced - and that includes not only food, but medications, makeup, soap, toothpaste, and many other household items.
Electronics
Smoke can severely damage electronics. Not to mention, you wouldn’t want to be sitting in a professional meeting with a laptop that reeks of smoke! Hire a ACI Adjustment Group to help you recover the maximum settlement for your contents!
