Don't Wait On These

What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Galena Fire

01

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

An odor that lingers past 24 hours usually means particles have settled deep into porous surfaces, not just the air.

02

Soot Around Vents

Dark residue collecting near vents is a sign your ductwork carried soot into rooms nowhere near the fire.

03

Swelling Floors Or Cabinets

Water from firefighting efforts plus residual heat warps wood fast if drying doesn't start within the first day.

04

Pitting On Metal Hardware

Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.

05

Ongoing Respiratory Irritation

Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.

06

A Claim Filing Deadline

Waiting too long to document damage is one of the more common reasons Galena, IN fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Galena properties that come through a fire loss with the least long-term damage are almost always the ones where someone called within the first few hours, not the first few days.
