What Happens When Fire Reaches the Framing
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.

Repair Solutions After a Fire
Repairing a fire touches most of the trades in a home.
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.

Fire Repair Questions
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?
If beams, joists or trusses look damaged, an engineer's evaluation is often needed for permits.
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?
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?
Most structural, electrical, roofing and plumbing repairs require permits, 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. The contractor and building official can tell you.
