Fire damage doesn't stop at the wall. This siding is scorched and blistered around an electrical point, with paint burned down to bare wood. BlueRed Restoration checks for damage like this on every fire assessment for homeowners in La Porte, Indiana.
Heat near an exterior wall or an outdoor outlet, light or meter can damage siding, trim and paint, the sheathing and framing behind it, insulation inside the wall, wiring and fixtures, and nearby windows.
Scorched siding isn't just cosmetic. If heat reached the framing, the wall may need to be opened to check for hidden charring, and damaged wiring must be replaced and inspected for safety. Smoke can also travel inside the wall into rooms that look untouched.
That's why our fire assessments cover the whole house, inside and out. We document exterior damage with photos so it's included in your insurance claim along with interior burn, smoke and water damage.
La Porte homeowners near Pine Lake, Stone Lake, Clear Lake, Fox Memorial Park, Lincolnway, Kingsbury, Rolling Prairie, Michigan City and Trail Creek: if you see scorch marks, melted covers, flickering outdoor lights or a burning smell near an outside outlet, have it checked right away.
