Fire or smoke damage? Do this right now
- ✓
Wait for the all-clear
Don’t re-enter until the fire department says the building is safe. Ask whether utilities need to stay off.
- ✓
Secure the property
Broken windows, doors, and roof openings should be boarded up or tarped to prevent weather damage and theft.
- ✓
Document everything
Take photos and video of the damage and affected belongings before anything is moved or thrown out. Your insurance claim will need them.
- ✕
Don’t run the HVAC system
Running heat or air conditioning can spread soot through ducts into every room. Leave it off until the system is inspected.
- ✕
Don’t wipe or wash soot
Soot is oily and acidic — household cleaners and wiping usually smear it deeper into walls and fabrics. Leave cleaning to a pro.

Common Causes of Fire & Smoke Damage in Auburn
Damage gets worse every hour it's left untreated. These are the problems Auburn property owners run into most.
Wildfire along the canyon edges
Neighborhoods along the American River canyon, Robie Point, and the wooded parcels north of town border steep, brushy slopes. Wind-driven embers can ignite decks, gutters, and attic vents, and homes that survive often need heavy soot, ash, and odor cleanup.
Wood stoves and chimney fires
Wood stoves and fireplaces are a primary or backup heat source in many Auburn homes. Creosote builds up quickly when green or wet wood is burned, and a chimney fire can crack a flue and spread heat and smoke into walls and attics.
Aging wiring in historic buildings
Old Town and Downtown Auburn include buildings dating to the 1800s and early 1900s, along with older homes that have been rewired piece by piece. Overloaded circuits, old splices, and modern loads on old service panels raise the risk of electrical fires.
Generators and heaters during outages
Auburn has been included in PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs, and winter storms can knock out power for days. Space heaters set too close to furniture, and generators run in or near garages, are common causes of fires and smoke damage during outages.
Every moment counts in a fire damage situation in Auburn. Take crucial action now.

Worried About Cost or Insurance?
Straight answers to the questions people ask most before they call.
Will my insurance cover it?
Most property policies cover sudden and accidental damage — like a burst pipe, a failed water heater, or a fire. They often exclude damage from long-term leaks, neglect, or flooding from outside, which typically requires separate flood insurance. Check your policy or call your insurer to confirm.
Do I have to pay everything up front?
Contractors in our network offer a no-obligation estimate first. Many restoration contractors work directly with your insurance company and bill the claim, so you’re often responsible mainly for your deductible. Confirm payment terms with the contractor before work begins.
Should I call my insurance company or a contractor first?
Make the property safe and stop the damage first — most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Report the claim promptly. A restoration contractor can document moisture readings and damage, which helps support your claim.
Can I choose my own restoration contractor?
In most cases, yes — and it’s worth thinking about. Your insurer may suggest a contractor from its preferred-vendor program, but you’re generally free to choose who works on your property. Program contractors typically follow pricing and scope guidelines set by the insurance company, which can limit the work to what the program allows rather than everything your property needs. That’s why many property owners prefer an independent contractor who works for them and advocates for a complete, proper repair. Restore Your Property connects you with independent local contractors who work with every major insurance carrier.

Fire & Smoke Damage in Auburn: FAQs
My house didn’t burn, but the fire came close. What damage should I look for?
Look for ash in the attic and on window sills, a smoky odor in carpet and closets, heat-warped vinyl or siding, and residue in the HVAC system and filters. Smoke and fine ash can work their way inside even when the exterior looks fine, and acidic residue can etch surfaces if it is not cleaned properly.
How is smoke damage cleaned in a home with original woodwork or plaster?
Older Auburn homes often have plaster walls, old-growth trim, and wood floors that should not be scrubbed with harsh products. Restoration contractors typically use dry sponges, HEPA vacuuming, and gentle cleaners on delicate surfaces, followed by odor treatment, so original materials can be saved where possible.
Does homeowners insurance pay for wildfire and smoke cleanup?
Fire, including wildfire, and the smoke damage it causes are generally covered under standard homeowners policies, though limits and deductibles vary. Contractors in our network work with every major insurance carrier and can document damage for your claim; confirm your coverage with your policy or insurer.
Can a contractor board up and secure my property after a fire?
Yes. Board-up, roof tarping, and fencing are usually the first steps after a fire to keep out weather, animals, and trespassers. A contractor serving Auburn can secure the structure once the fire department releases it, then move on to cleanup and drying.
