When Fire Damage Goes Beyond Cleaning
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.
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.

Fire repairs touch almost every trade in a house.
Framing Repair and Sistering
Charred studs and joists are evaluated for char depth. Members that lost strength are sistered or replaced.
Roof Decking and Truss Repair
Burned sheathing is replaced, and damaged trusses are repaired to an engineered detail or swapped out, followed by new underlayment and roofing.
Electrical Inspection and Rewiring
Heat can melt insulation on wiring inside walls that look fine. A licensed electrician should test and replace affected circuits.
Drywall, Insulation and Finishes
Once framing and wiring pass inspection, insulation, drywall and finishes follow.

Cracked glass, warped doors and burned cabinets are replaced to match.

Fire Repair Questions
Can charred framing be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?
Surface char is frequently cleaned and sealed in place. Deeper char that reduces strength calls for 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?
Heat can damage wiring insulation inside walls even away from the fire. Have a licensed electrician test it.
What is ordinance and law coverage?
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?
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?
It depends on whether the work zone can be contained and utilities are safe. The contractor and building official can tell you.
