Soot residue is acidic enough to corrode faucets, hinges, and electronics within about two days if left untreated.
Airborne residue from a fire can keep irritating your lungs well after the flames are out.
Thornwood, NY insurers typically expect documented mitigation started within a set window, or coverage can get disputed.
