Every Lake Ripley job gets logged with dated photos at each stage, which has saved more than one homeowner an argument with their insurer over what was already damaged versus what happened during repairs.

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.
Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.
Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.
Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Lake Ripley, WI fire claims get partially denied.
