If your home is damaged in a fire or damaged by smoke, you may need smoke cleaning and remediation services. These services can be expensive, and cleaning can be a very intensive job. Often, smoke damage can require tens of thousands of dollars to repair. This is why many people turn to their home insurance policy for help. If your home was damaged by smoke, the professionals at Murvay Insurance servicing Newport Beach, CA can help you determine whether smoke damage is covered by your home insurance.

Is Smoke Damage Covered Under Home Insurance? <\/h2>\n

Smoke damage is typically covered by home insurance policies. If the smoke damage was sudden and accidental, it is most likely covered. If the smoke damage happened gradually over time, it will likely not be covered by home insurance. Your insurance agent can help you determine whether smoke damage is likely to be covered under your policy. <\/p>\n

What Happens If You Have Smoke Damage?<\/h2>\n

If you have smoke damage, whether it’s from a fire nearby, a wild fire, or a fire in your own home, you may need to file a claim with your insurance policy. Your insurance company will ask for documentation about the damage, and will require you to pay the deductible before the coverage kicks in. <\/p>\n
