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.
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. Burned trusses usually need an engineer's repair detail or new trusses from the manufacturer. 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. Deeper char that reduces strength calls for sistering or replacement.
Do I need a structural engineer after a fire?
An engineer is usually required when beams, joists or trusses are compromised.
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?
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.
