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.

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. 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?
Permits are usually needed for structural, electrical, plumbing and roof repairs, plus inspections at key stages.
Can I live in part of my home during repairs?
Sometimes, if the work area can be sealed off and utilities are safe. Your contractor and local building official will advise.
