What Gets Worse By The Hour After A Washington Heights Fire

01

Smoke Odor That Won't Fade

If the smell is just as strong a day later, soot has likely worked into the drywall and duct system already.

02

Soot Around Vents

Streaking near air returns means soot circulated through the whole HVAC system, not just the room that burned.

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

Untreated smoke residue starts pitting metal surfaces surprisingly fast — often inside 48 hours.

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 Washington Heights, NY fire claims get partially denied.

None of these six signs get better with time. The Washington Heights 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.
