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. After cleanup, what remains is black studs, weakened truss webs and a ceiling that has to be replaced.
The repair contractor's first job is deciding what stays. 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. Burned trusses usually need an engineer's repair detail or new trusses from the manufacturer. Then the rebuild follows code, permits and inspections.
