The Garage Fire Burned Through the Wall Into the Kitchen
A garage fire is a common way structural damage starts. Flames burn through the drywall separating the garage from the house, char the studs, and climb into the roof trusses above. Once the garage is cleaned out, the homeowner sees black framing, sagging truss webs and a ceiling that needs to come down.
A repair contractor first determines what can stay. Light surface char can often be cleaned and sealed. Deep char that reduces the cross-section of a joist or stud means sistering or replacement. Damaged trusses typically require an engineered repair or replacement trusses. Then the rebuild follows code, permits and inspections.

Fire Damage Repair FAQ
Can charred framing be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?
Light surface char can often be cleaned and sealed. Deep char that weakens a member needs sistering or replacement.
Do I need a structural engineer after a fire?
If beams, joists or trusses look damaged, an engineer's evaluation is often needed for permits.
Will my electrical wiring need replacing?
Wiring insulation can be heat-damaged well away from the flames. A licensed electrician should inspect it.
What is ordinance and law coverage?
Ordinance or law coverage helps pay for code upgrades required during repairs. Check your policy to see if you have it.
Do fire repairs need permits?
Most structural, electrical, roofing and plumbing repairs require permits, plus inspections at key stages.
Can I live in part of my home during repairs?
It depends on whether the work zone can be contained and utilities are safe. Your contractor and local building official will advise.
