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. Damaged trusses typically require an engineered repair or replacement trusses. Then the rebuild follows code, permits and inspections.

An engineer is usually required when beams, joists or trusses are compromised.
Will my electrical wiring need replacing?
Heat can damage wiring insulation inside walls even away from the fire. Have a licensed electrician test it.

It is an insurance coverage that helps pay for upgrades required by current building codes during repairs. Check your policy to see if you have it.
Do fire repairs need permits?
